Bob was on a business trip in January of 2017. He had meetings the entire week of January 16 in the Netherlands (Sogeti Kick-off and workshops) and early in the week of January 23rd in Paris (HPE Planning). To avoid multiple trips to Europe, he stayed the weekend.
Rather than go directly to Paris from Amsterdam, he flew to Geneva and took a car to Chamonix. It’s about 75 minutes drive. The big difference from Colorado is how close you are the mountains. Here, you’re very close to the highest points. In Colorado, the mountains are bigger and spread further apart. The highest points are far in the distance. The skiing was very nice. The runs aren’t terribly steep or bumpy. It made for a great casual day at the slopes.
The mountains surrounding Chamonix are stunning but the village is showing it’s age. Most of the buildings are worn down. At the end of the day, food was the number priority. The first place that had “restaurant” in it’s name was nice but the waiter said “No Food”. Ok, weird for a ski resort.
