Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Another welcome Spaniard. Terrific photos in the report and not much text. Have a look people.
This resort looks like a 'well-kept secret'. 1400m-3000m, 220 kms of slopes. Courtesy of snowBase some details for snowHeads who like me had not heard of it before and cannot read Spanish. It's one of 5 small villages of the Sierre Anniviers area in Valais. If you click on the village name it opens details of the lifts and runs with a percentage column. Many percentages are greater than 100%. Another new one on me? Anyone know what they represent?
Have a good one Alan. Look forward to learning more on your return.

Thanks Ian. I suppose it's just selfish to want to keep these little gems to oneself, but look what's happened to Ste Foy 
However, since we're here does anyone know where to get the vignette jobbie for driving on Swiss motorways, and how much do they cost?

40 SFR I think. Don't know if it's the same for next year. I always buy mine the first time I drive into the country, beginning of the year, at the border.

ise, yes, but will all you bugs stop publicising the place! To be a little more informative, anyone thinking of going for piste skiing shouldn't bother, this place is about off-piste opportunities. Graham, give my regards to Rob and tell him he was right about the snow forecast
