Merry Christmas

Have a Wonderful Christmas!! Dunc is cooking a Wild Boar. I wanted to take the kids skiing as it has just started snowing again, but they are having WAY too much fun playing with all their new toys... so I am going to go and join them Roller Skating in our corridor!! Lots of Lovexx

The La Source new website

You may have noticed that we had a new, much more professional web site up for about a week... Well that was just a taste of what is to come! It has gone back the the workshop floor for perfecting and will be live as soon as possible. You will be able to book and pay on-line among other things!

Half Term Ski Chalet

The 14-21 February and the 21st -28th February are Half Term in France, Holland and the UK. I think just about every ski chalet is booked at half term! If you want to ski and get away from the crowds, you can still book La Ferme. We have just opened up La Ferme, a gorgeous little 5* rated farm house in Samoens 5 minutes from the ski slopes of the Grand Massif which links with Flaine. There is loads of room for up to 6 people. For more details see:

If you really want to avoid the crowds, we can set you up with some great guides to get you out of the lift system.

Look ahead to spring

Its hardly started snowing but already are already thinking about the sun. So we are planning a wee spring diversion, a rock-climbing camp and coaching holiday in the Var region of the south of France....

if you like the sound of warm rock, rose' wines, lavender fields, and the sun of you back drop us a note.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spring Kick Start.

Rock Climbing lead and coaching camp

La Source, goes climbing in the green – Châteauvert (Var) Provence, France.

Who is it for…

For anyone climbing indoor or outdoors 5a (fr) and above

Where…

A week long lead and coaching camp held in the heart of French rock climbing, Provence. Chateauvert is one of the most beautiful climbing venues in the Var region of France.

When…

Sunday 18^th fly in to Nice – leave from Nice, Sunday 25^th

What…

With 200 routes to choose from it’s a chance to kick start your season with a week in the sun. The crag offers a wide range of routes suitable for all levels of climber, and is equally suitable for those with little outdoors experience as for those with a fairly high level.

In keeping with our philosophy we have selected this region and nearby town Correns as it was the first eco-or green village in France.

This will be a self catering week. We are going to be staying in fab Provencal Gite close to the crag and the villages of Bargiols and Correns, so we can each take turns at trying to outdo each other in the kitchen or slope out into the nearby villages to taste the deilights of French regional cooking.

How much…

€775 for the week, this includes transport from Nice Airport (1 Hour away) coaching, breakfasts and accommodation, and all gear except rock shoes.

Does not include

Crag food, dinners, flights, and extras such as postcards to jealous mates

Who with......

With Easyjet and host of other low-cost carriers
