    Chamonix- Li Curt

    September 26, 2024 in France ⋅ 🌫 12 °C

    We left Charmonix in the rain. Luckily we got to see the mountains yesterday. Across the border into Switzerland. We found a bar/restaurant at 2000m altitude. Over the road is the old Hospice which is now a Hotel. From there through more spectacular mountain scenery. Back into to the top of Italy and then again into Switzerland, heading for Brusio (home of the Pedretti's - Jacko's grandmothers family).
    We drove up a very skinny, winding road, through the clouds to Viano (above the clouds 1400m elevation) to see if Pedretti's there were related - no.
    Back down the mountain to book in, then off to find a bar for tea. Early night tonight.    Read more
