PH'ers in Chamonix, Haute Savoie??

[Janosh]

Hello all,

A quick introduction from a long time PH fan.

After a long stint in New Zealand, I now live in Chamonix, and obviously being in the middle of the Alps, we have amazing roads in all directions from here.

I have the Stelvio pass and some other known routes on my tick list, so would love to hear from other PH'ers living in the area.. If there are any!

I've mostly owned fast bikes, R1, cb900, etc but also owned a Clio Williams for a few years. I might go down a Clio Sport route living here, but another bike is extremly tempting!

Hi English guy in France,

I have a TVR Chimera 450 and live around Grenoble area, at the moment I am taking it easy with the car and getting to know her.
I brought the car for touring not speed or racing in the mountains, 'been there done that got the tee shirt'

TTFN

Hi Jan
I've just bought a chalet not far from St Gervais.
I have a TVR t350 in the UK and drove it to the alps last year (great trip) but won't be taking it to the new chalet for a bit (unfortunately).

Lovely looking car John... I'd love to own something like that up here.

I've spent the summer hooning around on a bike, but maybe a car will join the fleet for next year..

You won't regret it - Cham is amazing in the summer months, and the riding is some of the best in the world! We've got a small crew of bikers here in the valley now, but it's always exciting to hear of someone else heading out to join us...

I have just got back from visiting scrubberamit who now lives about 1hr from you in Geneva...I am sure I will be visiting him fairly frequently, but first he needs to sort some wheels
