Crossed into Italy today and guess who we ran into!?! This week we are so excited that Christine, Nate, Jeff and Karen are here with us, it’s going to be super awesome.
Left Chamonix early this morning where it was still raining. We were happy to exit the tunnel on the Italian side where it was snowing at a pretty good clip. It hovered around freezing most of the day in the valley but on the hill it was probably colder so we are hoping for a great day tomorrow!
Champoluc isn’t quite as big as Chamonix or Zermatt but it is very charming. Today we grabbed lunch at a nice bar right next door to the apartment we are renting. The location is perfect- walking distance to the base lift and grocery store, bars and restaurants. Definitely a great home base for our shenanigans!
This evening we went out to grab firewood and saw the start of nighttime randonee. Hats off to those dudes! We’ll catch you at the after party at the finish line.
Also in case you were wondering, we included a map of Val d’Aosta so you don’t have to go and google it yourself 🙂
Here’s another rainy, snowy travel video. This one is of our drive from Chamonix across the tunnel, into Aosta and arrival in Champoluc.
The sky was a little dreary today but the region is really beautiful (so many castles!) hopefully we get some sunny days.
