This is the first time I’ve been up the Bella Tolla this season, it’s been closed the last few times I’ve been over to Saint Luc. It’s a shade over 3000m at the top and the snow is great.

As usual it was pretty quiet over at Saint Luc, even more so as it’s very low season at the moment. It’s great spring skiing on nearly empty slopes.

The views from the top of the Bella Tolla are excellent of course.

From the top of the Bella Tolla we skied down the Prilet in good conditions for an excellent lunch at the restaurant there then back on the bus to the main ski area.

Above is a demonstration of how the camera often fails to represent the angle of a slope, the shot on the left is taken looking down the slope while the right is looking across at the same slope. It was great skiing as well, good snow and a nice gradient.
