Summer Run, Bike or Hike

21 April 2011

At Chalet Loriaz this week we sat enjoying a picnic & views of Mont Blanc surrounded by crocuses.

"Thank you so much for the last couple of days, it really made our holiday!" Marion & Edward


Despite a rather 'sunny winter' we enjoyed an excellent season with Lindsay guiding snowshoe trips in the Vercors, Mont Blanc area, Swiss Alps and completed a Traverse of the Chablais. See the movie!

Our Italian Weekends continue to make the perfect introduction to cross country skiing and big congrats go to Nick, Caroline, Gill and Susie for completing their first ski race, the 22k Lavazeloppet in the Dolomites.

So as the slopes close we have both been out enjoying spring on two wheels as we have our first T&T's biking season to look forward to.
