Friday, 20 January

Two buses leave from the front office of CMA-CGM to bring a hundred people attend week-end du ski CE CMA-CGM. CE is the Comite d'Entreprise, which is an association formed by a syndicate of workers for the welfare of employees at the company. This association is an obligation for the company by the number of employees over 50 people.

Aside from organizing acara2 turistik affordable, CE also assist employees in terms of photo washing, laundry, etc. The annual Christmas event. Essentially their job is to pay attention to employee welfare, a task which is still carried by the HRD (Human Resources Department) in Indonesia.

The trip from Marseille to Les Orres takes about 5 hours, including a 40-minute break to buy dinner.

That night they arrived at the Hotel Les Trappeurs 11 pm. After requesting the key from the receptionist, they went straight to their hotel rooms. One hotel was booked exclusively for CMA-CGM CE. The first impression of the hotel room is clean, and in accordance with the requests to Philippe Soussignan, guide this event, they were given a room with three beds.

Alice had never slept in a crib, from birth, he always slept with his mama dear. The hotel room they have a bath tub to soak in warm water and a large balcony with views overlooking the expanse of white snow mountain chalet (snow house) are typical of the Alps.

The next day, after making observations of this hotel, they realized that the room given to them is one of the best rooms with largest balcony, how lucky they are.

Saturday, 21 January

They were awakened by the sun breaks through the curtain timidly hotel room window. After breakfast enjoy a delicious a la Francais, this morning Pierre promised to Julie and Alice to accompany them to play with snow. Hours have been shown at 10 when they first come out of the hotel that morning. Distance of the hotel which is only 150m from the Ski Station turned out to be implemented with the struggle a little more challenging than running on asphalt plain.

Walking in snow is not as easy as walking on asphalt, especially when in certain parts of ice formed, the course was slippery and not too easy for someone who is holding a baby. But they're still happy excited. This is the first time, Julie and Alice went to the mountain snow. That morning they decided to climb onto the mountain by using telesiege.

Telesiege is a cable car with 6 seats. The train is open to the barrier at the front to prevent people from falling down. For the first time to ride, ride telesiege this experience can be a daunting experience, but security was actually pretty good because there is always a controller at the departure and arrival that is ready to assist when needed. They can slow the rate of this telesiege or even stop it if necessary.

Les Orres is one big ski station in the Alps with a minimum altitude of 1600 m above sea level. The highest peak that can be achieved for skiing at this station is 2700 m. That morning, they decided to go up to a height of 2000 m. Arriving above, they find a Restaurant d'Altitude, the name often given to restaurant2 which lies at an altitude (which usually can only be achieved with telesiege). Once they establish themselves in one seat available in front of this restaurant, they were too busy taking pictures to kenang2an for the little guy. First touch of snow makes the little curiosity that led to tears because of the bitter cold.

They fell again by using the same telesiege before lunch. Lunch is served at the hotel because they take so-called retirement package complet. In France, tour packages generally offer two alternatives, by retirement or pension complet. For the sake of retirement means the tour includes breakfast and dinner, while pension complet means including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Because the tour is based in France, then lunch and dinner includes wine, too. That afternoon menu is served buffet d'entree, Moules Marinieres "Facon du Chef" (green mussels with creme sauce is delicious), Salade and a variety of cheeses and desserts in the form of yogurt and buah2an (cheese and desserts are always available in every the final banquet). In addition to the rice salad that was a little hard, all the food served can be considered quite tasty.

Full lunch, Alice and Julie had a short break at the hotel (nap), meanwhile, Pierre decided to go explore the mountains of Les Orres ski with his tools.

For skiing takes some standard equipment that is usually rented from a store that is under the Ski Station. And usually the hotel in cooperation with one of the shops that give a special price or discount. Les Trappeurs in this regard in cooperation with Ski Set owned by Christian CEAS, an Alpinist is extremely friendly and very helpful. He was assisted by his family and some staff who volunteered to help choose the most appropriate shoe size for our feet. After a brief conversation involved, Christian finally know that Pierre has a small baby and generously offered to lend luge for free the next day. Luge is a sled for the kids who do not ski.

After not skiing for 5 years, Pierre had fallen once before starting glide smoothly back. Christian advice to take the latest model skis that have a shorter size turned out to be true. Although slightly more expensive than standard shoes, ski boots are more stable and easily controlled.

Very enjoyable skiing experience. Once able to control fear, cruising in the open air overlooking the white mountains towering in front of our eyes and sound cool breeze blowing gently give the sensation of its own that is difficult to describe with words. Once the piste (the term for ski tracks that can be passed) are easily mastered, usually we want to try a more difficult path, thus continually so winter sports are difficult to make people bored.

Grouped the green piste piste for children and beginners, blue piste difficulty level higher, red piste to piste which tend to be difficult and black for the benar2 difficult. For the stubborn and really like the challenge, there is the so-called hors piste (outside lane), it is usually like exploring the forest but did not want to follow the path already exists. Hors piste is not recommended because it is usually severe accident occurring within this category.

The event was completed a ski day at 17.00 in which all operating telesiege discontinued. Pierre was returned to the hotel for dinner with family and teman2nya. That night, the family of Pierre the table with the family of Vijay from India and Jing Ping and Qui Gi from China. Interesting conversation about Indian culture make dinner atmosphere is warm and friendly. Dinner menu is Tarte aux champignon de pink, Tartiflette des Montagnes (potatoes baked with a delicious mountain cheeses and lardon), salade and cheese, and dessert a tarte aux pommes (apple tart).

That night all sleep soundly because of tired playing all day ......

Sunday, 22 January

After breakfast, Julie and Alice decided to rest again to give the opportunity to explore the forest Pierre Prebois further. During skiing, Pierre found the similarities between the principles of skiing with the principles of life.

Lunch menu is de Tabouleh Salad, Gigot d'Agneau et Haricots verts (Young Sheep Meat and vegetable beans), salade and cheese, and desserts such buah2an and yogurt. Right after lunch, Julie, Pierre, and Alice went to the piste down to play luge. Luge is a tool slides are usually played by small children who do not ski. Alice was thrilled.

That evening they returned to Marseille in at 17:00 and arrive back at the office at 22.00. Ah, the week-end that would be really fun and wonderful memories for them all.
