Patrouille des Glaciers and End of Season 


With the airplanes taking off again following their grounding due to a volcano in Iceland blowing ash (see previous entry), Verbier lost the remainder of its clients and the town became empty and quiet, except for the arrival of trucks thundering through taking earth away as they dig a massive hole for the 3 Rocs complex. Otherwise, the only other really visible people were the soldiers preparing for the bi-annual Patrouille des Glaciers .

An exceptionally quiet January. 


With less snow in the Alps than in Scotland, we understand that many Brits have been abandoning Verbier in favour of the Highlands.
