Have you ever spotted a sun dog? 🌤️✨

Also known as a "parhelion," it's a beautiful natural phenomenon that happens when sunlight passes through tiny ice crystals in high-altitude clouds. These crystals act like prisms, bending the sunlight at an angle of 22°, creating bright spots of light on either side of the sun.

Sometimes, sun dogs appear alongside a glowing ring around the sun called a 22° halo. Keep an eye out next time you're on the slopes – nature's light shows are one of the perks of skiing in the French Alps! ⛷️❄️

Have you seen one before? Let us know!

Non-skiers in your group or fancy a day off the slopes? Here are 5 activities to enjoy in the French Alps that don’t involve skis:

❄️ Enjoy a traditional fondue or raclette: There’s nothing quite like warming up with a bubbling pot of cheese or scraping melted raclette onto your plate!

❄️ Take a scenic cable car ride: Even if you're not skiing, hop on a cable car for breathtaking panoramic views. The Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix is high up on our list!

❄️ Have a picnic in the mountains: Pack some local snacks, grab a thermos of hot chocolate and enjoy a picnic surrounded by stunning Alpine views. Popular spots include the plateau at La Rosière, at the top of the Lièvre Blanc drag lifts and Sainte Foy, at the top of la Marquise, facing the Mont Blanc.

❄️ Relax in a mountain spa: Many resorts, and most of our residences, have wellness centres offering saunas, hot tubs, and massages.

❄️ Visit local markets: Discover the French alpine culture by visiting local markets - buy regional specialties like Beaufort cheese or Savoie wines. Check out markets in Samoëns, Le Grand Bornand or Bourg-St-Maurice

Have you tried any of these before? Or do you have ideas to add to this list? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to hear your suggestions! 👇🏼

Everyone can have moments when they feel nervous on the slopes, whether it’s that first time you click into your skis since your last trip, when you’re at the top of a run that’s steeper than you anticipated or you find yourself on a narrow, busy run home.

Ever thought about snowshoeing? It is the perfect way to explore the French alps without skiing! ❄ Most resorts offer this activity and a lot of the routes are free! Definitely worth considering for next season for non-skiers or perhaps just for a change of pace. Speak to one of our team to find out more: 02392839310

Some of our team went to Les Sybelles and had the opportunity to see how the piste grooming operates! Piste grooming is done using very precise GPS measurements. The driver has to know the exact snow depth meter by meter and adjusts the grooming to the terrain very accurately. Piste bashers cost an excess of 300,000€ - a little like driving a supercar!!!

Ever wondered how a chair lift works behind the scenes? ⛷️ This is a visit inside a detachable chair lift station in Les Sybelles!
