So I meant to post about the San Christophe tour about a week ago, but as with so many other things, the skiing was good and I never got around to it. So now that I am writing about it, I have actually gone and done it a second time...

The tour begins by riding the lifts up through La Grave, including the drag lift. Just for the record, the drag lift only began running, and the first time I did this tour, we skinned up. Then you ski off of the backside of La Grave and down into the San Christophe Valley and to the town of San Christophe. The scenery and skiing is really top notch. South facing, so it is in the sun, and just fun. The ski out is a nice mellow trip down the valley, with some amazing views along the way.

The highlight of the trip might even be the food at Marie Claude's. After skiing down into San Christophe you stop and eat lunch in town before catching the shuttle to Les Duex Alpes and heading home. I have to say, some of the best food I had on my trip was at Marie Claude's after a stellar ski to San Christophe.
