One of us recently went skiing to the obscure (yet fantastic) ski resort of Super St Bernard in Italy. Yes, it’s true that the lift station and café look like a set from a 1963 “B” movie and that it only really has one lift. At the top one is required to traverse the mountain via a tunnel that looks like it was designed and built by a gang of enthusiastic 11 year olds.
However, it’s worth it. Our guide, Gilbert Hiroz, from Verbier was completely on the money: he predicted good weather and untouched powder and delivered on his promise.
Dammit, the man even produced a bottle of wine and some thinly sliced Parma ham at the bottom. To contact him email him at gilberthiroz@gmail.com.
