Via Ferrata in the Vanoise

Seven days in the Parc National de la Vanoise

Wednesday, 30th July 2014

Rachel under the falls in Cirque du Grand Marchet.

A seven day tour of the Vanoise glaciers. Views, widlife and food! What more could we want?

A cheeky little break in Chamonix

Monday, 14th July 2014

We grabbed a cheeky few days in Chamonix hoping for some great climbing adventures, but the weather was against us and it was very cold.

Spring Snow – Vallee Blanche Again

Monday, 5th May 2014

Monday was amazing as well. More wall to wall sunshine, so this time we did jump on the lift up to the Aiguille du Midi (not the first lift I hasten to add).

This morning it is snowing so hard it’s like the sky is falling in! Hard to believe that yesterday was clear and sunny. But it was. Perfect for a well timed Burfday descent of the VallÃ©e Blanche…

Grands Montets Powder

Wednesday, 5th February 2014

It’s become a bit of a tradition to take the first week of February as a skiing trip; it offers two fantastic things, usually some of the best snow conditions, and the week incorporates my birthday. Why not? I pay pay for the queen to have a holiday on her birthday every year, why shouldn’t …
