Avoriaz Video Report : Thu 30th Jul 2009

Circus, Goats and Zip lines

Updated

The summer is in full swing and the weather this week has been perfect. The bike and hiking trails are in excellent condition due to all the dry weather and town has a good buzz to it.

Heading into the mountains I fulfilled a long standing wish this week and rode the only "fantasticable" in the Alps. The 1300m long zip lines fly over the Chatel valley and make an unusual way to enjoy the view.Any questions or comments? Drop me a line at james@skinets.com
