It's been a lovely sunny week in the Alps and I've been out and about enjoying it. No group this week, time to recharge my batteries.
Chamonix is as busy as I've ever seen it - the 15th August is an important Catholic festival day, charmingly called "Maria Himmelfärht" in German. This week sees many events and celebrations in the Alps.
As of this weekend the exodus should begin. The French set great store by the Rentrée (going back to school or work) and all the children have to have new satchels and exercise books so the end of August is a time for Shopping.
Below are some photos taken this week. Off to Zermatt this weekend to meet a new group for the Tour of the Matterhorn - the forecast is excellent - hooray!!
