Back to the Haute Savoie again for a weeks skiing to take advantage of some superb snow conditions. I'm also feeling the benefit of the regular exercise over the last 12 months or so, the higher level of fitness has certainly paid off.
Snowy mountain scenes are all very well but the camera doesn't really do them justice so far more skiing and much less photography than usual. However some sights are so bizarre it is always worth having a camera handy!
This was one of the stranger sights of the week....
Just above Coucheval 1650 is a nice blue run named Indiens. A very nice run indeed, not too steep and lots of snow. Oh and a "theme"...
We didn't stop to read the information boards but the dream catchers suspended above the run should have given us a clue as to what was ahead.
Coming round a corner and a most incongruous
sight! A Native American village, French style, complete with stuffed wildlife ( all fake I hope) and an" Indian Chief " offering face painting, archery and the chance to try on the stereotypical head dress. We passed....
Definitely most surreal and completely unexpected on a French mountain top.
