Chamonix Video Report: 11th July 2008
Grottos and golf balls
After a cold and VERY wet couple of days for the World Climbing Championships last weekend, the snow line crept almost back down to the mid-stations at 2000m! Thankfully the sunshine and warm temperatures have returned and look set to remain with us for the next few days.
This week’s report comes from the ice caves on the Mer de Glace. Each year a new cave is dug for tourists to come and visit and the movement of the ice can be clearly seen by the previous years cave entrances which have travelled further down the glacier. Inside the cave visitors can view the sculptures and enjoy the colour changing walls, as well as say hello to Alaska the St Bernard dog.
This weekend the Chamonix Pro/Am golf competition will be taking over the course here in Chamonix. Teams made up of one Pro golfer and three amateurs will be competing on the greens in this annual competition.
