EasyJet will fly to Lyon from Bristol and Liverpool for the first time this winter. It will also offer Basel from Edinburgh.
Arriving at the end of the season in April, there was just enough snow to grab some lessons. On day one I progressed agonisingly from being dragged horizontally along the ground, both hands clutching for dear life on to the ski lift, to actually being able to stand up. Later that evening, bruised, battered and
embarrassed, I declined beer at the local bars, instead opting to relax in the hotel. Cue herbal massage, a soak in the outdoor pool and grappa in the lounge next to the fireplace. It must have helped as by the afternoon of
day two I’d cracked it; a weekend is not enough. Sample price: Three nights in The Cambrian, departing February 27, costs £623 per person, including mountain-view room, ski hire, lift pass, rail travel and Heathrow-Zurich flights. ■
