This morning one of my beautiful friends sent me these incredible photos from Courmayeur in northern Italy, how jealous was I, its like a white winter wonderland over there, and it should be with temperatures right now ranging from minus 7 to minus 18 degrees. Courmayeur is an Italian town in the northern region of Aosta Valley 217km from Milano.
I love skiing holidays, there is nothing like looking out your window in the morning to fresh white powder snow and sinking knee deep in the fluffy stuff, the town of Courmayeur looks really special, what a spectacular place to ski, especially with so much snow when the sun is shining, its so pretty, the mountains with contrasting blue skies and frost covered peaks are breathtaking. Its possible to choose from a good range of ski chalets, hotels and apartments to stay at, I really think its escapism at its best in winter!
