Last Week Skiing in Paradise (Paradiski)

Susan Beesley — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:58:27 +0000

We are having a fabulous week (the last week of the ski season). They skies are blue and the snow is holding up well due to the unexpected fall over Easter. Best to get out early in the morning and ski until early afternoon. The Aguille Rouge was a superb ski and so was the “bierre” in the sunshine! And it is so quiet on the pistes ……. a very magical week and a time to refresh the old brain cells!

La Plagne 6000D Mountain Race

Susan Beesley — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:41:49 +0000

The winter season is not yet over but already momentum is building for the legendary mountain race – The 6000D.

The race which is “run” in July each year was pioneered some 20 years ago as a cross country race over undulating terrain. This has now been finely tuned to take runners through all of La Plagne’s villages (Plagne Montalbert, Campagny en Vanoise, Montchavin-Les Coches and La Plagne’s high altitude villages). The race passes through 10,000 hectares of forests, valleys and trails and crosses the Vanoise National Park.

Nowadays there are two choices – the Original 6000D over 55 km and a 3000m total ascent and a new challenge, the Ultra 6000D which is over 110km and a 4600m total ascent.

There is also a children’s race “The 6D Kids”.

Registration for the races will be later this month (April) with on-line entries at www.la-plagne.com

So …………………. if you fancy a really adventurous summer break then look no further ………… and after all that hard work what better way to recover than in a beautifully appointed chalet in a traditional farming village with views of the La Plagne valley and mountain side.
