Club Med Peisey-Vallandry, France: Ski, Activities & Heritage

The Daft Punk Mode

Maybe because of the goggles. It is the first time I wear a mask on my helmet! I am more glasses than mask, well I thought … I arrived yesterday for the press conference of the Skiing Into Spring event. And this morning, I join Gary my ESF ski instructor to discover a bit of the ski area of Peisey-Vallandry.

Then we swing by Les Arcs, at the Arc 1800. In one of my previous posts, I reviewed you the Lodge at Mille8 (Arc 1800). I really enjoy of the superb panorama with serrated mountains, nor skiing on the tracks lined with fir trees!  

 

Baroque Walk

  

The Gorgeous Notre Dame de Vernette Chapel

In the afternoon, my walk in snowshoes is canceled due to lack of snow. so I go along with a group of walkers. In the program, visit and heritage of the astonishing Notre Dame de Vernette chapel. A jewel of the Savoy baroque art, nestled at 1816 meters above the village of Peisey-Nancroix.

I highly recommend the guided tour organized by the Fondation Facim. Exciting!

    

Instrospection

Contemplative Mood

Beautiful scenery reminiscent of Japanese prints. A moment for me in communion with nature. This bench lost in the middle of nowhere brings more magic! But we have to go back to cars because the weather is becoming threatening.

Who said there was no snow?

Epic Back Home

Last day… already! It’s been snowing non stop since last night. What a surprise when I discovered the landscape from my room terrace (photo-montage above)! Finally everything is white and a few hours later, I leave the Clud Med village under heavy snowfall.

Who said there was no snow? LOL!

Skiing with style!

I was looking for an edgy versatile ski or outdoor jacket that takes up minimal space in a small suitcase, when I received this awesome black Lightweight Down Jacket of Yeti (above photo montage)! I sometimes carry it in my small handbag (yes!), when I go to several appointments without time to go back home in the day. You’d be surprised at all that my handbag may contain, LOL! 

Chic casual piece I wear as well with Huggs, Converse or high heels (including my famous Sam Edelman, picture below). In town, this jacket looks like a sexy vintage “bad boy-seventies” leather jacket. Okay, I don’t go skiing every weekend, LOL! But during my last stay in Val Thorens, I used it on slopes and after skiing, with a T-shirt plus sometimes with a sweater or fleece only. Perfect match for me who can’t stand wearing many layers of clothes. 

The slim cut is super comfortable and covers the top of the hips (and insulates from the cold) with great ease in the arms. It feels so warm in this ultra-lightweight jacket, made of “the first plant based Nylon in the world” and Crystal Down. North, the parent brand of Yeti, was awarded with the Gold Outdoor Industry Award 2013 for its “particularly innovative design and above-average product quality.” Did you know the German brand Yeti? Do you wear it?
