Thank you @boredsurfin for the Tour de France info.
We are right on the route and looking forward to all the fun.
We're interested how they will manage to scramble getting into the Bobsleigh run - surely its really only wide enough for one rider . . ?

Meantime, if I can't watch the new Gondola developments up at Roche de Mio (webcam still down), then I can see what's happening down in your neck of the woods.
And it looks like your Zombie hotel has a roof! Might it get completed for next ski season?
About time too.
