Doctor in Praz sur Arly
The doctor’s surgery in Praz sur Arly is just 5 mins walk away, on the way into the centre of town.
We’ve had to rely on Dr. Audiard several times – nothing too serious – and he has been friendly and helpful. He speaks enough English.

First Snow of the Season
A snap from the balcony webcam at around 2.30pm today shows the first snow of the season falling in the town in Praz-sur-Arly. Good to see after such as mild autumn – just a couple of weeks ago and it was 18C and sunny for a whole week.
If the forecasts can be believe up to half a meter could come down this evening and a top up of 10cm later in the week.
New Runs By Praz are First Step to Megeve Link
A new ski area, adding 3 new pistes and a new 6-man chairlift, is opening this year in the Espace Diamant, just at the edge of the Praz sur Arly ski area and marks the first step to a connection with the Domaine Evasion Mont Blanc ski area which includes Megeve and Les Contamines.
The new Bellasta lift joins the top of the Plan des Four chair lift which can be taken from the bottom of Les Crozats run which is the piste which runs from 3 Coins in Praz sur Arly into neighbouring Notre Dame de Bellecombe.
According to the site here – which lists all the proposed enhancements in the Espace Diamant – this is the first step in the long talked about link to Megeve. The final phase – as yet unplanned – links Bellasta to Plan Mermin Prés Rosset Megeve.
That may be some time off but even this new extensions on the doorstep of Praz extends the local skiing possibilities in the 2014/15 Season
La Moufle Bar
While there are many of great places to get a drink locally, La Moufle is has become the defacto bar in town since it opened in 2013 and where tourists and locals – especially the younger ones – choose to hang out.
Super-cool and always welcoming, whatever your age, it’s a great place to for Praz apres-ski or at the end of the night. Great selection of beers and cocktails and some interesting International bar snacks. Not the cheapest in town but not quite central Megève prices.
You never know how the evening will turn out. It can be pretty quiet and laid-back or packed out, more often the latter when there’s an event such as a DJ or band, which there typically is once or twice a week in season. We’ve had some crazy evening here (see example below). Either way – it’s lovely. As they say here “Kiss, Love and Moufle”
