We embarked on our 9hr bus journey at 12 midnight. The unrelenting chilliness of dark night coupled with the gruelingly long bus ride did little to dampen our spirits. When we arrived at the Belle Plagne, it was a breathtaking moment. The snow capped mountains with a clear blue sky as a backdrop, the pristine white landscapes dotted with skiers gliding down them and the sunrise over the mountain ridge. We were totally mesmerized. We held our breath as we took in each picturesque view in awe; hoping to etch them permanently in our minds. The high altitude made us cut short our breathtaking experience as we took in deep breaths to acclimatise to the lower air density.
