When the Snow Melts

Your author: Powder Monkey September 7th, 2009 - Posted by: Powder Monkey

Although snow sports enthusiasts know Chambéry as the gateway to some of France’s top ski resorts, the area also has a lot to offer outside the ski season. The nearby Bauges National Park, for example, is worth a visit at any time of the year. The little-visited park offers some excellent walks, hikes and climbs in a diverse landscape of rolling meadows, forest and sheer rock faces. Some of the local peaks rise above 2000m of altitude and offer spectacular views of the valley below.

These stunning shots were taken from a 1600m peak. The lake that dominates the view is the Lac du Bourget, the largest natural lake in France. In the left of the shot you can just make out the runway of Chambery airport.

If you like this, you might also enjoy this.

Many thanks to Tim Proctor of Air Charter for these pictures taken, remarkably, on his mobile phone.

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a pilot, check out this video taken from the cockpit of a Titan Airways Boeing 737 aircraft landing at Chambery airport. The video shows the stunning approach to the alpine airport over Lac du Bourget, the largest lake in France.

An end to misleading airfares?

Your author: Powder Monkey May 22nd, 2009 - Posted by: Powder Monkey

Ironically, in the same week that the European Commission declared its 18 month crackdown on misleading adverts and unfair practices in the airline industry a success, a leading low-cost airline announced the introduction of controversial new charges for check-in.
