YACHTS AND CARS ON THE SLOPES – ONLY IN COURCHEVEL!

One of the last things I’d expect to see on the ski slopes are yachts and cars but then again I was in Courchevel!  In the resort centre the Moscow Roral Yacht club have a yacht and a membership tent!  Yes really!! A real sign of the times!

I have done several seasons in Courchevel over the years having first holidayed here back in 1990 and it really has changed even in the last 5 years with bars and restaurants moving upmarket, printing the menus in Russian and increasing their prices! 

There are still places you can eat and drink in Courchevel at reasonable prices but the presence of Moscow yacht club and BMW’s in glass tanks on the slopes reminds you that the Russians have taken over!

I wonder how many yachts or membership to Moscow Yacht club they actually sell?  And where do members sail their yachts in Moscow?
