We love Chamonix


Just to spread the word of the deep joys of the mountains, in another thread I put some snapshots here:

Might make you even sadder but tough Smile

This was September by motorbike. Just a quick week's trip, our biggest problem was the heat. We were baking all the way through France.

Regretfully passing through this year in June by MH was a very different story. Gloom. And the prices seemed a lot more too.

we had a place in Chamonix for 12 years before we got fed up of all the Brits taking the place over and forcing the locals out - you barely need to speak french to stay in Cham these days - we sold up and bought the motorhome!

If anyone is worried about driving up/down the valley between Sallanches and Cham in snow - don't be. As soon as snow falls the gritters/ploughs will be out keeping the main roads clear - you have to remember it is still a major trunk route between France and Italy through the MtB tunnel so needs to stay as open as much as possible.

I only ever needed chains on my car once to go down the valley - and that was after a huge dump of snow which 2 days later caused an avalanche at Le Tour which killed 12 people... Crying or Very sad

still best to have chains handy just as an insurance though
