Gorgeous Alpine villages. One of the biggest linked ski areas and bike parks in the World, spanning the Franco-Swiss border.

Oodles of cheese, wine, fun activities, stunning mountains, agreeable French culture, shops, bars, restaurants and like minded souls. Magic!

Just an hour to Geneva, Chamonix, Italy, Annecy and a ton of other ski resorts and bike parks. What’s not to love!

Well… An eventful first week of 2021 by all accounts… 😳
