Chamonix, France - 2-9 July

Post by Adam »

Hello All

This years alps trip will to the Aosta Valley in Italy, just over the boarder from both Chamonix and Zermatt. So it ticks the mountain boxes, but is hopefully a bit less of a tourist trap.

Hike - Everywhere. Buy a map, start walking.

Bike - Pila and La Thuile have bike parks

Actually it doesn't matter as I've just realised that it's July and we are already away that first weekend. Sorry.

***ACCOMADATION ***

After chatting with someone who has local, Courmayeur has been chosen as the location. If a post holiday witch hunt is required, the name will be forthcoming :axe: .

I should have said in the original post, the accomadation will be a challet of some description, not a leaky tent in a muddy field.
