Day trip to Chamonix

Today we woke up early to catch an hour and a half bus to Chamonix in the French Alps. We got there and were planning on going for a hike up the mountain but saw that people were paragliding and so we asked around about that and the only time they had was 2pm so it wasn’t enough time to do a hike but we walked around the town, went into a farmers market, had cheese fondue and then went to the gondola to meet up with our guide. We took the gondola up and the guys got our stuff ready on the side of the mountain in a grassy area, he hooked me in and asked if I was ready. Then we said start walking and then start running and we were off! It was so peaceful and easy, we were up there for about 20-30 minutes, he left me steer a bit and then he did some tricks and turns! Then we went to a beer garden to chill for a bit before our bus back. We got back to the hostel to chill before meeting Allison Rice at the music festival that was going on outside around town which was so fun!Read more
