Today I took the train out to Chamonix where I'll begin the High Route, a 180 km walker's route from Chamonix to Zermatt, Switzerland.
Chamonix is a great town for groups of friends. Lots of walking, shopping, eating. It would be fun to come back here.
When James was here two years ago in the winter he said it was very expensive and had to pay 40 Euros a night for a bed in a dorm. I was able to get a bed in the Ski Station for 12 Euros, plus 2.50 to rent a sleeping sack since it's BYOB (Bring Your Own Bedding).
I bought some trekkiing poles for 70 Euros. If I'm going to seriously attempt the 180 km route then trekking poles will help.
