Starting in the Italian Alps Ben and Clau travel up towards the French Alps, where they will knock off their first ten resorts, ranging from Serre Chevalier, Les2Alpes, Alpe d’Huez and the huge Les 3 Valleés area, before ending their French leg in Chamonix, where the couple got engaged just a year ago. With no time to waste at thre start of February, they will then head into Switzerland to take in the luxurious resorts of Crans Montana and St Moritz, before embarking on a three-week Austrian fest, hitting its finest resorts of St Anton, Ischgl, Kitzbuhel, Saalbach, Mayrhofen and Soelden.
