Climbing in Vallorcine in the press!

Last month the Bellevue Alpine Lodge was delighted to host a number of journalists here, and show them the delights that Vallorcine has to offer.

So it was great to see the first write up about climbing in Vallorcine appear this week.

This article appeared on UKClimbing.com, in an item by their Chief Editor, Jack Geldard.  As he puts it:

"If you are more interested in climbing perfect granite than posturing in a bar, then a quick trip to Vallorcine and its surrounding crags could be the perfect antidote."

You can read the full article here, which includes some fabulous photos:

Earlier this month The Bellevue organised a Press Trip in conjunction with Vallorcine Tourist Office.
The journalists had fun in the Vallorcine valley - Canyoning, Mountain Biking, Hiking and Climbing.
Here is the first article published by UK Climbing.

Mont Blanc Country Baroque Festival comes to Chamonix

Summer in Chamonix is as full of activities, if not more so, than in winter.

One of the next events coming up this summer is the Mont Blanc Country Baroque Festival, which will take place from 06 to 20 July 2013. 

This festival has been designed to pull together music, architecture and local history and invites holidaymakers to enjoy a Baroque experience with a modern twist. 

The Baroque has lost nothing of its popular appeal and this 16th edition comprises a musical journey across Italy with Arcangelo Corelli, detouring into France and Germany, with Austria and England the final ports of call.

Concerts will be held on July 7 in Servoz, July 16 in Vallorcine, July 17 in Chamonix and July 19 in Les Houches.  You can find more information on their website at www.festivalmontblanc.fr
