Flaine

Back on the ski's !

 

Flaine was built in 1969 with a lot of concrete buildings. However, the ski-runs are O.K. ! And we stayed near Flaine in Flaine Hameau. That is a very cozy village with only wooden chalets. This vacancy has been great ... and I wouldn't mind to do it over again !

Me in Flaine
It's hard to tell from this picture that it was actually freezing here -15 Celsius.

The weather is beautiful and the ski-runs are at the background (as seen from Flaine Hameau).

Snow covered mountains
It is so cold here that the snow at the top of the mountains is just blown away by the wind.
Our group in front of the Mont Blanc
This is our group during this winter sports vacancy (only Petra is missing here on the picture).

At the background (above my head) is the Mont Blanc, Europe's highest mountain (4807 meter).

From left to right: Paul, Mark, Roy, Robert, Peter, Nathalie, Dirk.

A chalet with Ice
I had to shoot this picture with my new lens. Here are some parts of the nice Chalets of Flaine Hameau.
Peter, Robert and Paul
This ain't even an après ski, but a meantime ski for Peter, Robert and Paul! When the sun is shining, it ain't hard at all here ...
Dirk in action
But not everything was so relaxing. Sometimes we had to go out on our ski's. This is me in action.
Mark in action
This is Mark at speed. He's done it before! I can tell you that.
Paul after his crash
This is Paul after a crash in the snow. Unfortunately the only action is on this picture.
Robert enjoys it all
Roberto enjoys his ski's during all kinds of weather. Even during fog, snow and "visibility null" he likes the challenge.


get this gear!

Very cold mountains
This is already the last picture of this trip. As always, one week winter sports is gone before you get there. If you catch my drift.
