Alpe d'Huez: super famous cycling climb but village not v.pretty. Luckily return via Villard-Reculas is spectacular!

Time to say goodbye to the alpine sunshine & Alpe d'Huez. Sigh. Despite the dodgy snow it's been a fantastic week! grin

The last day's views from the slopes, on the way to Auris en Oisans. And the biggest mogul field I've ever seen!

Almost didn't go to Vaujany, but beautiful run & what a view coming back! Plus snaps from earlier inc. our picnic

Shopping for treats for our picnic lunch in the local patisserie. Hmmmmmmmm...

Spot the difference today? Someone's on a rest day and someone else deserves a beer after his energetic morning

Today's views: from the top of the Pic Blanc & Sarenne Gorge. Melt-water falls show how hot it is. Phew!

Scenes from a mountain: part III. Views from 2800m, Signal & the restaurant at lunch

Our hotel here in Alpe d'Huez this time: Le Printemps de Juliette. Can you spot the subtle theme they have going?

Views down the valley en-route to Oz-en-Oisans... and some treats for happy skiers on our return

Turns out it was a hard day Joking aside though, it really was tough for my ancient boots which fell apart! sad

View from our balcony this morning (I was outside in my PJs - it's warm!). Yes - it's going to be a tough day

Arrived in a sunny Alpe d'Huez to see the sun falling on the slopes. Should provide some excellent spring skiing
