This is the scene at La Tour today.

We know there’s been lots of snow in Birmingham, but really……this is snow!

Happy 2011!

Happy New Year from Chamonix

Fri, 31 Dec 2010 00:00:05 +0000

We decided not to risk the fun and chaos of fireworks in the town centre, normally a must do if you’re in Cham at New Year.

Instead we walked few hundred yards from the apartment and sat by the lake taking in the free firework display across the valley from a safe distance……magic.

Merry Xmas from Chamonix!

Merry Christmas to all our guests and friends, we look forward to seeing you in 2011.

All this UK snow is just getting us excited about holidays in Chamonix!

This is how winters should be, right?

We’re just wishing we had some ski gear in the UK….hang on we haven’t got any lifts!

Fancy a swim at the beach?

Okay, to be fair it is October and although we’ve been in shorts and t-shirts this week i think its a bit chilly for a dip in Lac Passy. However, in the summer months this is where we all go to cool off.

Its about 20 minutes drive from the apartment.

October in Chamonix – Simply Stunning!

Sun, 17 Oct 2010 00:00:49 +0000

Every month I think, yes this is my favourite month of the year in chamonix…..then the next one comes along and I proclaim that “This is my favourite month”

Each season is so wonderful its hard to pick a favourite. That said Autumn comes close.. the colours, sunny and often very warm days, the snow-line creeping down the mountain, everywhere is so quiet and the anticipation of the skiing and boarding to come…..yes October is definitely one of my favourites.

The picture above was taken a couple of days ago, we had a long walk in just t-shirts. Simply stunning.

Take a look at more Autumn pictures here

That’s the problem when you’re taking a photo in Cham…

The views are so breathtaking that no one ever looks at the camera!

Saturday is Market day

If you haven’t visited the market in Chamonix, next time you’re there on a Saturday drop by the Place du Mont-Blanc (the big square near the river and the fire station). You’ll find all kinds of delights from across the region.

Fete de Guides

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 00:00:08 +0000

Year after year we have planned to go to the annual Fete De Guides de Chamonix where the town celebrate the history of its mountain guides and their courageous achievements. Yet, every year something has conspired to prevent us…but not in 2009! Over four days there are all kinds of ceremonies and traditions to mark the event including a wonderful light and sound show with amazing demonstrations of climbing and other mountain crafts on the Les Gaillands climbing wall. It was well worth the wait and we’re definitely going to try and go again next year!
