Valberg

And David Prince continues his snow report:

"This year the snow in the southern Alps ski stations north of Nice is “the best for 50 years” they say. This is Valberg, one of the prettiest ski towns:

Valberg has a good selection of hotels and restaurants to suit all budgets, and all the shops and amenities you need.
Plus it's a picturesque place with a friendly family atmosphere..."

Amazing but true - you can have everything of the Côte d'Azur - the lifestyle, the sunny benign climate, the palm trees, the mimosa and the bright blue skies (to mention just a few) and still go out for a good bit of snow and ice, all within hours from each other.

I'll be off to London for a couple of days - and I'm sure I will have a great time - but just enough to appreciate the Riviera even more when I return!
