My adventure reviving a love for the slopes on ski holiday in France.
With winter inching in, families across London find themselves preparing for snow-packed adventures and one of the most thrilling ways to spend winter: skiing! The Dolomites have always been more than just mountains to me; they’re a place layered with my father’s cherished memories and a backdrop for our own. He’d recount stories of summer hikes up winding trails, pausing at alpine huts where he’d sip coffee and take in the views. I can almost see him, standing there, captivated by those rugged peaks and the way they seemed to kiss the sky. We’d often go out to small family-owned eateries, where we’d feast on comforting dishes, like plates of rich polenta or fragrant mushroom risotto, just as he had done years before.
