Bonjour! I have been looking forward to my snowboarding trip for over a month and needless to say; I was super duper excited. Work has been crazy so timing was perfect to get out of here and relax! I honestly have never heard of the location Serre Chevalier in France so having no expectations was a good thing. My brother in law booked our trip through Crystal Ski Holidays which specialised in a full package holiday: Thomson return flight to Turin, Chalet room accommodation, half board, snowboarding lessons and ski passes for a whole week all for £850 per person; not bad at all. I dreaded catching the 7am flight which meant getting up at 3am; sigh…I hope I wouldn’t have to do that again but the views at sunrise on a plane was spectacular (images above taken with my iPhone 5s).
The chalet we stayed in Villeneuve was adorably quaint called Chalet Asters; a short 5 minute walk to the resort. We walked in and immediately felt like we were home 
My sister clearly wasn’t in the mood for a sisterly selfie but as you can see, it was so homey and most importantly, warm!! I recently bought a new Canon Powershot G7X camera to document my travels instead of carrying around my massive Canon 5D Mark ii. The G7X is a new model so I am testing this camera out during my whole trip to Serre Chevalier and so far I am loving my camera. I particularly like the flip screen to take sisterly selfies like this one
I am not a morning person AT ALL so waking up every morning at 7am for my snowboarding class (with a French instructor who spoke in French 99% of the time was tricky) was a challenge and a half. But so far, the views were just amazing and I am lucky to have a 360 degree views of it morning and night…every day.
Had my first meal at the La Grotte pub and I think the French locals who sat behind us snubbed me because I ordered Fish and Chips…look, I am British, what can I say! Stay tuned for more of my crazy alps pics and days ahead at Serre Chevalier snowboarding trip!
