How did we end up here? I have no idea but what a fantastic place we've stumbled upon.
We're staying in la Chapelle d'Abondance, a valley in the Rhone Alps somewhere between Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc and it's a mountain bikers and hikers dream destination here in summer.
The majority of the ski lifts are open and for 1 euro a day we get an unlimited pass to ride up and down the mountains!
Our hotel is wonderful and from our room we have fantastic views of the mountains and the nearby ski town of Chatel. The newly opened hotel is run by a lovely Dutch couple and the Belgian chef prepares amazing 3 course gourmet french meals each night! Ok, we thought the black forrest was good but this place is heaven.
