The nicest haircut in Val d'Isere
8-Mar-10 , 1 comment
Jean Loup Bonnevie is a hairdresser, he worked first in Paris where he trained, then he opened a salon in Val d'Isere. Jean Loup was brought up in the village where his family has been established for several generations. From his salon, located on the first floor above the Brasserie "Le Grand Cocor" you have a great view over the ski school departures and arrivals. Jean Loup and his wife Annie are a most friendly and welcoming couple. An added bonus is the cup of tea you offered while having your hair done (very British!). Telephone: La Coupe 04 79 06 04 92

In Val d'Isere, the ski patrol team has 50 members, (25 at one time) and 4 specially trained dogs.There are 5 huts scattered around the ski area: At the top of Bellevarde, Solaise, Fornet, Pissaillas and a central one near the Rond Point des pistes. Their work is demanding and varied, they check the pistes before the opening, they start and control the avalanches to secure the area, they pick up people, administer first aid and bring them to the doctors' surgery...Fab very kindly talks about his life as a ski patroller.

Nicolas Ughetto talk with passion about his work. Very kindly he is telling us the life of a fireman in a ski resort. Val d'Isere has 35 firemen during the ski season. 10 are full time and live permanently in the village, the others from other regions are here just for the season. Nicolas is a "Volontary" having previously spent 10 years as a professional fireman. A volontary is on call 24h/24h. They undergo 40 hours of maintenance training during the year including fire intervention, para- medical intervention, first aid...BY THE WAY THE NUMBER TO CALL IS 112, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK FRENCH, SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS ON DUTY TO PICK UP ENGLISH SPEAKING CALLS.
