Last ski day

Everything was looking great before what was suppose to be the last ski day of the season, this was the 18th of April. The weather forecast was looking great with sunny wonderful weather perhaps a bit to warm. I was also looking forward to visit Val d'Isere and Tignes (the whole ski area is called Espace Killy) . However the plans were dashed, instead we experienced zero visibility, snowstorm and on top of this really bad food. However this was not going to ruin our day celebrating a great skiing season.

Hiking in Monteyard

Another warm April day spent in the mountains with beautiful views and a great picnic.
We were planning to do the Lac Monteyard tour but unfortunately the boat that are suppose to take you across the lake wasn't running. Apparently the boat will not start until mid May, tha lac i also a good place to do some sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing so I guess we have many reasons to come back.

Annecy in April

My mother was visiting in mid April, we were blessed with mostly good weather with around or just below 20 degrees which is excellent for doing some sightseeing.
We went to Chateau Vizille and strolled around in the park before we made a quick stop in Chamrousse ski area drinking some Vin chaud, in the evening we went out in Grenoble eating some local dishes such as Fondue Savoyarde. The evening was rounded of with a taste of Chartreuse liquer

The next day we went to Annecy doing serious sightseeing, we spent the day walking around the old town exploring the small alleys and market booths scattered. We also went on a boat trip around the lake. We also ate a nice lunch in the sun next to one of the canals that run through the old town.
