Trucca Turra

The weather cleared through lunch, so after a some discussion we decided to hand in our ski gear and walk to the Trucca Turra chairlift. This took us higher up into the mountains with absolutely stunning views over the Alps; we think we could see as far as Turin in the distance. Some of the group had been up here before the snowfall and had a lovely walk. However, the snow was now a foot deep and soft, so walking any distance was a mission. Fabulously, and unplanned, we found there was an open bar up here - despite the piste being closed, plenty of cross country skiers were about. So we grabbed a couple of beers and enjoyed the stunning views, before grabbing the chairlift back down. A beer and a game of crib in La Tana before trekking back up to the hotel.

Before dinner, we were treated to Ben and JP using the newly acquired tray to 'run' the nursery slopes, and it was many, many beers after dinner before we finally went to bed!Read more
