Snow settles quietly on chalet rooftops. The scent of melted cheese drifts from mountain restaurants. After a morning carving down perfectly groomed pistes, you warm your hands around a steaming mug of chocolat chaud as the sun dips behind the peaks… Sounds like an ideal winter holiday at a French ski resort.
