Daily fun, facts and arty tales from Val d’Isère.
The World's Best Ski Resort ?
Laura M’s art is inspired by Val d’Isère.
The podcast shares her 35 years of local knowledge
with Val d’Isère’s legions of English speaking fans.
COVID saw her drawing, painting and doodling
the square kilometre around her home.
Laura has exhibited here, notably
“Toutes les Vies se Val", charcoal portraits of “avalins”
and pastel portraits of local dogs.
Including, of course, her 2 labradoodles.
Interviews with her were published in 2025
in both Val Mag and le Dauphiné.
2 winters of presenting English news, weather, events and ski reports on
Radio Val d’Isère sparked her interest in creative writing
and cheeky chatter !
