Le Mont Blanc

Story

This week I’m spending my time in a small(ish) ski resort in France called La Clusaz, near Annecy.

It’s the end of the season here for skiing, so the snow is a little bit wet (!). I know that sounds weird, but wet snow means it’s heavy and hors piste isn’t really the greatest way of going downhill.

This is a shot I took from the sector of “Balme”, in the Southern Part of the resort. Luckily, it was clear and sunny today, and this gave us the chance to catch a view of the Valley of Chamonix and more particularly the Mont Blanc, labelled on this picture.

Hopefully one day I’ll have enough guts to climb it, although the description of the last bit from my uncle does put me off a bit at the moment!

    I’ll join you for the climb and bring sausages for the top. Plus, I think if I see any more of these pictures, I will puke! Complaining about the snow … you spoiled kid!
