Hello there.

Remember us? It’s been a minute right.

Actually, after a year’s break, we’re back.

By way of a brief explanation, the second half of 2024 didn’t turn out quite the way we had imagined. For one reason and another it ended up being a tough year for us and in the end we didn’t travel very much.

That said, like little stars twinkling in the dark sky, there were some lovely moments too. Our unusual lifestyle meant we were able to spend quality time with family and we had chance to catch up with some old friends plus make some wonderful new ones.

Happily, 2025 started with a boom for us!

We’re not long back from France and Italy after a cracking 4th season of skiing in the mountains of Montgenevre. We even had to break out the snow chains for Beatrix this year, which was a bit of an experience.

At the risk of boring you, our small and precious crew of Road Less Travellers with weekly updates of mountains, sunshine and snow, fresh tracks and dancing on tables we thought a short video might better condense the start of 2025 into four minutes. 

As well as spending time with all of the Usual Suspects, 2025 seems to have been the year of visits and we’ve skied with Tim, Chris and Kim, Simon and Nina, and Mum and Dad.

Feeling adventurous this year, we splashed out for a Via Lattea (Milky Way) ski pass which allowed us to explore the resorts of Sestriere and Sauze D’Oulx too. 

After joining the party mid January we found ourselves as the last ones standing by the end of April. With the snow fast retreating up the mountainside we decided to take a couple of weeks to explore Piedmont in Italy but that’s a tale for another time.

Plus a few bonus photos….
