The Montalbert telecabine is officially under construction.
@WeLove2Ski has published a warts and all guide to La Plagne. "La Plagne's statistics make it feel like the best resort on earth....However it isn't the best resort - even in France." It points out the slightly unusual terrain - flat around the main bowl and steep both up top and down below: "by turns it's bland and bloody terrifying".
Les Arcs' website now has its summer skin, with the resort open from 4 July - 29 August. This will see the reopening of the outdoor pool to complement the fancy new indoor pool/spa set-up.
There will also be weekend openings of the funiculaire and Cachette lift during the final two weekends of June.
The summer music festival runs from 19th July-2nd August - bringing with it lots of keen music students and free concerts.
The Tour de France continues to cold shoulder the Tarentaise, but at least the Cyclocoeur cyclo-sportive events, now in their 12th year, continue to flourish. This year's events are on 7-9 August.
Meanwhile, over at Peisey Vallandry, home to some of the best walks in the area, there is a new website, including a summer photo competition...
