Feeling happy cos we're off to walk in the mountains at Le Grand Bornand in a few days time. It's nice to walk where you ski in the winter!! Don't care what the weather brings though fine and dry would be nice, just want to be there. Sorry - just felt a need to write this down!!

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

pam w, O no - i hope it's not as bad as anticipated - O well, the shoreline around Emsworth is a picture at the moment so not such a bad place to be if you're stuck in good old Blighty for the summer! Not long till winter and hopefully we may meet up this time

loatie Here is an on-the-spot photo of current weather conditions for you (we're just down the road from Le Grand Bornand)... Fingers crossed it stays this way for you - glorious walking (or lounging) weather!

miranda, Thank you so much - that's brilliant. We drove through La Giettaz coming from St Martin de Belleville to Chinaillon in March and it's on our list of places to explore next week with a view to having a days skiing there this coming season. Any info you have would be much appreciated

loatie, La Giettaz is a great place to ski - guaranteed queue-free lifts and empty pistes. I'd definitely recommend starting your day in La Giettaz rather than Combloux or Le Jaillet as you can park you car right next to the lift so no walking in ski boots or ski carrying whatsoever. Also, a pass covering the same area is cheaper if you buy it in La Giettaz because it's a village rather than a resort - 22 Euros a day to ski the La Giettaz-Combloux-Le Jaillet side of Megeve. Drop by if you're passing - we have spare piste maps you can have. Also hoping to see pam w, next season so perhaps we can meet for a local  drink at some point!

loatie, Absoutely - just drop us a line when you know which day to check that we're around. If you're coming from La Clusaz, just head straight over the Col des Aravis and we're on the right hand side as you head down into La Giettaz (which as rjs, points out is exactly what the TdeF riders will be doing on the 13th!). Conversely, if you're coming from the Val d'Arly direction, we're on the left hand side as you come up and through La Giettaz village.
