Exploring the French Alps: Annecy, Chamonix, Évian-les-Bains and La Clusaz
While I was living in Geneva as an expat, I had the chance to explore the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in neighboring France. In this travel guide, I´ll share a few destinations that I visited in the French Alps during my time there, from the charming towns of Annecy or Chamonix, to the elegant Evian or La Clusaz ski resort. Also, I'll walk you through what and where to eat, where to stay and some day trip ideas. At the end of this post, I've also included a map so you can easily pinpoint all the locations mentioned here.
Skiing in the French Pyrenees: La Pierre Saint Martin, Gourette and La Mongie
I just returned from enjoying three wonderful days skiing in the French Pyrenees with my brother and it was so refreshing! After four years since the last time I had skied, I'm glad to report that I survived and that I also had lots of fun. We visited three ski stations in three days with my Dad's campervan. Follow our adventure!
Winter in St Cergue
St Cergue is a municipality in the district of Nyon in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. Given its proximity to Geneva (only 40 mins away), I’ve been there a couple of times already, snowshoeing and skiing.
Ski day trip to Pennsylvania
Today I went on a ski day trip with friends to Liberty Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania, just 1h30 away from Washington DC. It was so much fun (and a bit scary) to ski again after soooo many years.
