Overlooking the alps at 3800m. This is the view from the highest cable car in Europe - Aguille du Midi, Chamonix.

From left to right: Me, the invisible man, Ben, Matthew, Matthew and Richard.

On a day's hike just outside Chamonix. In the background, on the far right is Mont Blanc.

A peaceful spot.

A hard day's walk. The snow was soft and deep and each foot step took you nowhere. You can just about make out the tracks leading first round to the right and then across and up to the small summit on left. The scenery was phenomenal, but it made you work for it.

On the top of the aforementioned summit.

And another one in the same place.

Ping-pong back at the hostel in Chamonix.

A chateaux straight out of a brother's Grimm fairy tale. This one was in Gruyere, Switzerland.
