The Autumn here in the Northern Alps has been settled and dry. These are great conditions to get out and enjoy the hills on foot or bicycle. Unfortunately this has left the ski resorts looking a bit sorry for themselves. This is a situation the British press thought would make a “good” story yesterday. Too bad they were behind the times.
I took this picture this morning, in the Vallee de la Manche in Morzine. It’s still snowing heavily now and it looks like Avoriaz will be opening on schedule this weekend.
I had failed to make it all the way up the road and had to walk the last few metres to my meeting, which incidentally is next door to:
Chalet le Chargeau, 550,000 euros
More info here. I should have taken a more seasonal picture of the chalet whilst I was there.
For the avid snow watchers amongst you I recommend having a look at the list of weather resources I have put together on our “weather page”.
