50: Courmayeur, Saint Luc & Goat Yoga

There's a Swiss theme this week as Iain tests Jim on his Swiss summer knowledge, Jim rhapsodises about his trip to Saint Luc and Iain looks forward to his visit to Arosa and Andermatt.

We also find out which is the most average ski resort in the world and discover a national park in the French Pyrénées.
The Ski Podcast would like to thank Switzerland Tourism for their support.
