Saturday4) 8 a.m. A local breakfastJoin the hungry crowds at Aux Petits Gourmands, a popular, central bakery, to enjoy a cappuccino (€3.90) and a bite to eat before you head for the slopes. Indulge in the local specialty, the Croix de Savoie (€3.10, or €2.10 to take away), a cross-shaped brioche bun smothered in cream and topped with a generous sprinkling of vanilla-flavored sugar. Or linger over the classic French petit déjeuner (€13) — an array of breads and pastries served with chocolate spread and homemade jams. Brévent is excellent for intermediate skiers, but its steeper slopes have plenty to offer the more advanced. Thrillseekers can practice their jumps in the snow park, which is equipped with a massive “airbag” to soften landings.
