Snow, Snow, Snow



What a week!!

The snow situation in Europe this season hasn't been as good as it normally is. In fact, some areas have had a really mild winter. When we arrived in Wengen, it looked more like May than March. It was just about possible to ski to Allmend, but there was no chance of getting back to the village.

And then it snowed.

I was away with a group of snowHeads staying at the Victoria Lauberhorn in Wengen (very nice wellness centre for after a hard days skiing). While I have been there dozens of times, most of them were on their 1st visit (some had ever skied in Switzerland before!!). We didn't manage to ski at First, but did a couple of days over at the Schilthorn Iincluding checking out the new Riggli lift) and managed to ski down to Grund (through someone's back garden). Brandegg was a hit with everyone, and we had lunch there most days. It would have been nice if the sun had been out a bit more, but other than that, the perfect week
