It’s Sunday and a perfect day to ski somewhere Steve has never skied and I haven’t skied for at least 20-odd years. And it’s included on our lift pass!

Cordon is a small, though spread out village about 10 minutes by car from Combloux, at about the same altitude. It’s set back a little north of Combloux so has a wider view of Mont Blanc.

The skiing is a little limited for those who ski fast and furious but it’s great for a morning or afternoon. One slight drawback is that there are only drag lifts here, and no chairlifts so no chance for any rest for tired legs. There’s about 6 pistes altogether which are all beautiful and tree lined. There are two slightly tricky ones. We found a fantastic place for lunch, right on the piste with a great view. Who could ask for more?
