Alpine fun continued...

Well here it is at last. I would not want to let anyone down :-) Not all letters guaranteed.

Kayak

Despite holding a BCU 3* certificate I don't think I will be having a go at this. 1) I have a fear of being tipped over and not being able to get out. 2) I actually cheated in my 3* assessment back in the day.




Luge
Truth be told, the Chamonix version doesn't look as good as the downhill roller coaster mentioned in my previous blog. I had a go on one of these in Queenstown, New Zealand. It was fun. Wasn't brave enough to ignore the brakes though!
M - watch this space

Natural swimming
There are a fair number of lakes and rivers to take a refreshing dip in!



O - come back later

Paragliding
Would be breathtaking...


Unfortunately, I think my version of P is more likely to be 'pitching a tent'!

Queuing
But hopefully not too often or for too long.



Rosé drinking

Yes please!



Skiing
A possibility at high altitudes even in the summer months. Probably something I won't partake in due to two of the people I'm going with trying to kill me last I went skiing with them. Long story.



Train
The Glacier Express is an express train connecting railway stations of the two major mountain resorts of St. Moritz and Zermatt in the Swiss Alps. The scenery looks spectacular.




U - unconfrimed
V - to be decided

White water rafting
Something I've always liked the idea of but a fear of drowning puts me off! Hopefully I will be brave enough on this trip.



X - suggestions welcome

Yodelling
Most definitely a possibility! YOLO



Ziplining
Epic! I would do this!


Come back in a month or so to see how many of the A-Z get ticked off on the trip!
