An excellent week in La Tania with Silverski. Chalet Amber provided a pleasant place to stay with easy access to the Folyeres piste, albeit via an occasionally lethal track-hope the bruises have cleared up, Millie.

Anna and Ruth were lively hosts, who served up just the food needed by hungry skiers and provided plenty of liquid refreshment, though Silverski should allow their hosts to cook "proper" breakfasts, rather than just having eggs as a cooked option.

See the Chalet Doom Deux report below for a more thorough account of the spookily similar goings on to our Zermatt trip.

Photos to follow when I have some sent to me. Thanks for yours, Jane and Mike. It's no wonder I didn't see you on the pistes. Most of the photos seem to be of beer being drunk in cafes!
