As a ski instructor for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.esfcourchevel1650.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ESF Courchevel Moriond<\/a> (better known as Courchevel 1650), I had previously worked with other chalets and luxury hotels in the resort, but the wood and stone chalet that lies in one of the nicest corner of Courche (Le Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re)\u00a0remained an unexplored terrain for me.<\/p>\n<p>And on\u00a0my first day there was a last minute call from the ski school. \u201cNico!\u201d, Faustine \u2013 one\u00a0of the secretaries \u2013 told me with a bit of stress in her voice.\u00a0\u201cWe need an instructor at the Blanchot, you have to get the Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re drag lift and then\u00a0to the Granges.

On the draglift I started Googling the Chalet Blanchot on my phone in order to be sure which one it\u00a0really was. I didn\u2019t want to lose time and be late the first day of the week; that wouldn\u2019t be\u00a0nice even for a last minute call. Nevertheless, despite checking on a couple of travel agencies\u2019 websites with photos of the Blanchot, and double checking on-site, I was still not sure of\u00a0the exact location. I decided to ask for information at the draglift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very sorry, we don\u2019t know which one it is.\u00a0We don\u2019t really have time to hang out at the chalets, you know\u201d, a young lady in her 30&#8217;s with a note of classic\u00a0French cynicism answered me as she\u00a0kept shovelling the entrance of Granges\u2019 <em>t\u00e9l\u00e9ski<\/em>.
