Rim to the Lips in Chamonix: Snowcats, Fondue & Midnight Sledding

What do you give your 60+ year old parents for Christmas? This of course.

Our army truck came barreling down the icy road, just in time to give us a lift.

some bewildered faces as we make our way blindly up the slopes to Refuge Tournieux

We step out after a bumpy 20 minute ride in the dark to this lovely looking place.

Everyone say cheese fondue

M&Ms provide the perfect combo of sweet and salty, an ode to Klemme

bellies full of wine and cheese, perfect time for a head lamp lit sled ride down the mountain

our instructions in french, and patchy english mean we are ready!

I think I laughed the entire way down the mountain. It was a 4 km sled ride, in absolute darkness, with a bit of fog. Poppie & Nonnie were troopers. The best moment was probably seeing my husbands cut out in the snow when he flew through the snow embankment. We can all laugh, because fortunately, he didn't get hurt!
