To set the scene, here's where we were based for our recent snowshoeing adventure in Les Houches, close to Chamonix, one of the oldest ski resorts in the French Alps, and host of the first ever Winter Olympics in 1924.
The rustic but very comfy Chalet Savoy
Sauna and hot tub with a spectacular view!

The perils of snowshoeing... huge blisters! Nothing like a bit of duct tape to keep blister pads in place...

Serene gorgeous snow capped views from a hot tub, purple painted toes and duck tape....I LOVE YOU NATE!!!!!! This is quite a teaser and I could happily stow away with you on any of your vacations, this one is looking extra fabulous! I think I will hang out here while ~you go and ski, I'll keep the hot tub warm and the booze on ice :)

Best use of duct tape I have seen in awhile.
Oh how I would love to experience snow like that one day. Even visit a resort like this.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos Nat particularly the sunset on The Fizz, and the blue snow shadows too.
ReplyDeleteFab shots from your trip Nat, I would love to try skiing, mind you...maybe not!! Who knew that duct tape could be so stylish. Looooove the purple toe nails, mine are a boring old red haha!
