Winter is ending but skiing season may last bit longer :-)
Chamonix, France is a paradise for off-piste skiing literally breathtaking, reliable snow fall, and just 1 hour drive from Geneva. Not to mention, Chamonix is well-stocked on Michelin stars, too!
So let me began...
View from my hotel room... Aiguille du Midi (3842 m)...
and view from Aiguille du Midi... Chamonix ca. 2000 m below...

time to go...
in the queue...

and the best known Savoyarde specialty: Tartiflette.
You want to be far from the crowded pistes?
You want to be far from the lift queues?
You want to discover hidden slopes?
You want to discover long forgotten valleys?
You want to dinner in Michelin star restaurants?
If you have answered YES on 50% of above questions, pack your bags and head to Chamonix.

I had the opportunity to visit Chamonix back in 1996, and then we went to Albert 1er for dinner. At that time, they had one star and where approaching two, from what the rumour said. That was the first time I had dinner at a restaurant with Michelin star(s), and oh boy was that a pleasant experience! (Apart from that, skiing was good too... ;-) )
Nice man! Keep tuned, more to come... including Albert 1er with 2 Michelin stars :D See you soon.
