Ultra-trail Tour du Mont-Blanc

from Tuesday 25 August 2009 to Sunday 30 August 2009Unique in its kind, this event crosses 3 countries on foot (France, Italy and Switzerland), covers 166 kilometres and 9,400 metres climb in one fell swoop. A race with a time limit of 46 hours, the current held record being 21 hours and 6 minutes.

The enthusiasm for this challenge has led to the creation of a second race, from Courmayeur in Italy to Champex in Switzerland and on to Chamonix - a mere 98 kilometres, 5600 metres positive elevation with a time limit of 26 hours.

Chalet du Bois available for Christmas

Location, location, location … With its 5 bedrooms the chalet sleeps 10 or more on request  and is well situated for access to the village and also a quiet nights sleep if needed.

We love the sauna, jacuzzi bath, heated boot room and of course the new huge TV as soon as we bring it over.  The communal spaces in the chalet are fantastic; a lounge with comfy seating for all, a cosy wood burner and a massive authentic alpine communal dining table.

The large picture windows and high ceilings give a wonderful feeling of light and space, which combined with the traditional log fire and solid oak furniture provide a warm and comfortable retreat The balcony hot tub is hugely popular with guests and it’s not difficult to see why, breathing vital new life and energy into weary limbs it has become a near essential part of any chalet holiday.
