It's over!

The season's officially over this Friday, but we closed up last Saturday. The volcano got the better of us in the end. The weather's been so good here in the UK that people are focused on gardening and other spring activities rather than our offer of free wine for whoever took the last week at Chalet Kiana.

So, we've shut up shop, Nick & Laura are off to the sun and our focus is back on the summer season again. We have one or two visitors (guidebook inspectors etc) booked in over the next few weeks but, other than that, the chalet will earn a well-earned rest until we re-open for the Col Conquerors from Mammoth Lifestyle at the beginning of July. Their Alps Training Camp this year takes in the Marmotte in the first week and the Tour de France in the second week.

A big thank-you to all our clients who made it such a successful season for us again, despite the best efforts of a weak pound:€uro rate, global financial melt-down etc. Instead of global warming, we had Alpine cooling, loads of snow, and some of the coldest weather holding the snow right through to the end of the season.

Vive la France!
