Left Harpenden at 0440. JB drove to Stansted. Arrived 0530 rush through check-in and security, but by the time the plane had boarded we had missed our slot. Eventually took off at about 0850. Grenoble airport manic. After much jostling finally got bags off belt. Transfer took about 3 hours including brief stop at Moûtiers, into resort at about 1430. Chalet Marmottes well situated, Spar supermarket and cash machine just outside top of building. Had cup of tea then got to the skiset shop (Boudu Sport) early to beat the queues. Very helpful and efficient, plus shop only 20 yards down the street from basement/boot room entrance. Put gear away and went to Le Mine for few beers in happy hour. Chalet host Wayne prepared beef stew for dinner. Sat around chatting with other guests till bed.
