Photos, week 1

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Here are some from the first hotel. Le Relais du Mont Blanc, a bed-and-breakfast just outside Magland, France.


The inside of the hotel. The lobby and restaurant are decorated with old skis and climbing gear.


The mountain starts pretty much in the hotel's backyard, shear rockface.

Looking west-ish down the valley from the hotel, towards Magland, Cluses, and Thyez (where work is located). It is a 15-20 minute drive from here to work.



Looking east up the valley towards Chamonix - Mont Blanc.
