A day skiing at Portes du Soleil

Here's a photo set of images from a day skiing at Porte du Soleil. What a great day! Portes du Soleil is a truly enormous ski resort, made up of twelve separate stations that can be accessed on the same ticket. Because everything in Switzerland is integrated you can just rock up to a train station and buy one ticket that gets you to the ski resort by train, onto the lifts, and back again: massively convenient. Portes du Soleil left a very, very good impression on me. It straddles the border between Switzerland and France so you end up crossing the border on skis a whole lot, it had great snow and almost no queues, and it's picturesque with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains.

There are two things I want to note about these pictures. Firstly, the main craggy set of peaks in the pictures (for example in the first one) are Les Dents du Midi, the tallest of which is 3257 metres above sea level. Secondly, it's important to notice that there's a genuine St Bernard behind Tanya in one of the pictures. All these photos were taken with an iPhone and processed with the newly updated Flickr app.
