Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok just back from chamonix,possibly the longest shopping/drinking trip ive had all due to poor weather conditions,though did manage to get on some snow and some low valley cragging,but we didnt get to go up high which was the itinerary.We ended up traveling with eurolines coaches, wasnt to bad only main gripe would be why on earth depart chamonix at 8.45pm,after 6ish theres little else to do and humping round large rucksacks little options.

To allow people to get a final dinner in before long travelling I guess?
Sorry the weather wasn't conducive to the planned activities - unfortunately that's just how it is sometimes in the mountains. This summer has been particularly troublesome.

Nope,you see they used to depart chamonix at 6pm,and still get their legally required rest periods.They did this for years.So you checked out of your hotel,had a day doing whatever and time for something to eat,quick look around shops then jump on the 6pm bus,worked perfectly.

nordwand, maybe everyone else likes it the way it is now?
Also, did the inbound bus arrive in Cham at the same time?
|

Maybe to do with tunnel/ferry times and not arriving in the middle of the night?

The inbound coach arrived at 9am,this is good cos you have a full day.The coach changes on the inbound trip at paris 10pm and now changes at paris outbound at 7am,where before the outbound journey was chamonix direct to calais just stopping at geneva to pick up passengers.
