Today as the two man lift was open I finally made it to La Grande Ourse on Mont Chery.

The only other time I have been to see them was when we snowshoed up in December.

It was then being refurbished so today I saw it up and running for the first time.

Its run by the Cornish family of Gary, Teresa and their children (plus partners and baby!)

They has the most fantastic views from the restaurant, over looking Les Gets and Mont Blanc.

Most of the ski runs on Mont Chery are red and I have struggled to do them in the past, but thanks to another afternoon out skiing with Gail I tackled them with more confidence today.

I found it very exhausting though as I had to concentrate and think about every move I made.

So while we stopped off at la Grande Ourse for hot wine the boys played in the snow park over the jumps.

These are two photos of Le Roc D’Enfer.. If you remember Geoff and I walked this splendid ridge walk back in the summer

This is what it looked like today from Mont Chery…. and I am so glad I was not walking it but just viewing from a distance..

Below is five photos stitched together to show you the panoramic view from Mont Chery.
