Our Arrival In Chamonix

When we first arrived in Chamonix the weather was not too brilliant and our first views of the French Alps were cloudy ones. We were doing a two-centre holiday with the first week in Chamonix, France and the second week in Zermatt, Switzerland.
The Chamonix hotel, the Sapiniere, was one of three that Inghams have bought and run themselves. It's a chalet hotel which gets people integrated by having long tables and rotating dining places. In this way guests get to move around to a new place at dinner every night. The staff and food were absolutely marvellous. Although the rooms were a little knocked about a bit, everything else about the Sapiniere was totally awesome. There was coffee and tea on tap all day with cakes and bread provided for afternoon tea at around 4.00pm. The reviews on Trip Advisor speak for themselves.
