Every weekday during winter, and occasionally the rest of the year

16 January 2025

Come on Grannies and Grandads, get your act together! This week we have 36 guests taking the reduced-price senior skipass (65-74 years), but only one getting the free 75+ pass.

What’s wrong with you? The gentleman in the picture, blasting the boarder cross beautifully, gets his pass free. OK, he doesn’t ski all day like he used to. He heads up the mountain at lunchtime to enjoy empty pistes for an hour or two, then goes to a restaurant just as everybody else is leaving.

A salad. A couple of glasses of roussette. 40 winks. Bubble home. Very civilised…
