So the La Chaux Express is running – minus the chairs sadly – and I decided it was fine time I went up to sit around drinking coffee in the sunshine. At Dahu to be precise.
And as usual it was completely stunning up there, and after a chat with Danielle (the lovely lift who normally works on the magic carpet at Les Essertes) it seems that they’re putting the chairs back on the lift next weekend-ish. I only mention that because going up on chair lifts without skis is most disconcerting and therefore more fun. In my book at least.
Anyway, the guys at Dahu also said there’s the inauguration of the restaurant next Saturday from midday. I have absolutely no idea what it will involve, but I have a sneaking suspicion there will be drinks. So I’ll be there on the dot.
Ok it’s on the Verbier Medran roof but as per the rumors the Bruson telecabine has been ordered. Although the rumors also say it’s not going to be built by the winter.
Still, cool eh?
UPDATE: Building work confirmed
Televerbier have announced building work on the new lift starts October 2012… Click here for the video
Summer is well and truly here, so we chose the day with the least impressive hazy cloud cover to take some photos and show you what you can do in and around Verbier in the summer.
Contrary to popular belief there is life outside the resort itself and if you drive half an hour up to the top of the valley you can see the rather impressive Mauvoisin Dam. A geek would be able to tell you about the clever the green energy it releases is, but as I’m not a geek and Toby couldn’t come, I can only tell you it’s very big, very impressive and I nearly wet myself when I looked over the edge.
Well, after a cheeky beer with Toby and Kent they both headed down to Le Chable. Se we thought a quick trip up to Savoleyres was in order to look at the view before the sun went down. And you know what? There’s actually rather a lot of snow up there..
Just having a cheeky beer in the blazing sunshine on the t-bar terrace with Toby and Kent. A tough life…
