Alps! So I got out here a couple of days ago, have managed to start the sexy farmer tan and done a couple of sweet trails. Then this morning waking up a tad chilly I looked out the window. White. Oh the irony! There appears to be about two inches of snow sitting on the picnic table at the moment and its falling fast. The power of the mountains. Ah well, my snow man skills could do with some work i guess.
But anyway, back to the trails! And Oh my! Alps trails have this special feel to them, almost as though youre in some epic movie as you hug your exposed singletrack surrounded by the giant peaks. Riding can take you through a variety of scenery of meadows, forrest and tiny old villages. Your ears are filled with the hum of wheels, the scooshing of forks, cow bells and birds. The height and distance you descend by is incredible, although as the lifts are currently shut my bums getting an amazing workout!
Chillchalet itself is a pretty awsume place, i think you are all going to love it! Although im going to eat all the cherries before you get here!
Happy Trails :)
