Vendator, military discipline and good mood.

Luigi, the owner of Petit Charmant Hotel in Champoluc looked astonished when you told him at 1 am your first evening in the village that you should have breakfast at 7 am.

Why taking the car to drive to the lift when there is a shuttle (no 3 really) driving around the valley from early in the morning to late in the night? Why staying in a 100 meters long irritated cue to buy your lunch when you could go a little bit away from the slope to find a refuge with warm exquisite food and the kindest atmosphere? Why not trying a tour with snow shoes or skins instead of racing downhill for once?
