Eco Skiing – Ski Randonnée

For a truly remarkable adventure, eco skiing is so invigorating.  Called ski randonnée by the French

Don’t use the lifts, but set off with Jean Francois, our guide, from La Ferme in the dark with skins on your skis, a lamp on your head and breakfast on your back. As you climb to the top of virgin peaks, you can watch the dawn breaking and the bouquetin breakfasting on moss as the sun rises. Breakfast on the top of the Aiguille Vert (you deserve every crumb of your pain au chocolate), admire the wonderful birds of prey riding on the thermals and then ski back on virgin snow.

This is the most health giving  sport I have ever tried…far better exercise than downhill skiing. You can feel the the oxygen go right to the depth of your lungs! Feels like every muscle has been used and although you are exhausted on your return at 10 am and need a little siesta, you feel on top of the world later!!

Guests’ Testimonials

We have five guest books full of praise, here are a few:

Mel’s Testimony “I had the most magical 21st birthday at la Ferme du Soleil..The day started with a champagne breakfast on the balcony..Then a postcard arrived saying a man in black would take me to heaven and back….Little did I know it was actually a tandem parapenting flight off the Lachat piste just by the chalet. A superb day was rounded off with midnight fireworks back on the balcony. Thanks for a 21st I will never forget!” Melanie, Banker, SW1

Chris and Christina Gosney who have come every year for 9 years! And celebrated both their 50th birthdays here: ”Sun snow and great company. The Ferme does it again. Is there anywhere  else for a ski holiday? I don’t think anywhere could come close. Thank you for so much attention, we will return again and again and again. Chris and Christina.”

And another time: “I write the same mantra every time, because its always just how it is: beautiful Ferme, wonderful food, great company -HEAVEN ON EARTH”
