Wanted to include the video clips I took on this 2012 Annecy/Chamonix France trip. five Video's of the Annecy to Chamonix 32 mile cross country flight with altitudes up to almost 13,000' over Le Grand Bornand & gliding over Pointe Percee on the Aravis Range & into the Passy Valley to Aiguille du Veran, then into Chamonix Valley. Then one video of my 42 mile flight from Annecy in the Bauges Range crossing the Isere Valley. Last but not least 2 video's of Via Ferrata climbs, one from the Aravis Range at the Col des Aravis next to La Clusaz & the other in the Passy Valley next to Chamonix under Aiguille du Veran with amazing views of the Mont Blanc Massif, chasing Jeannine up these sheer granite cliffs faces. Who is up for a little climbing, hiking & Paragliding next year? La Peste needs someone to abuse, sorry I mean hang out with.
Aloha Mad Dog & Jeannine... Sorry La Peste

Chamonix: A Jewel in the Sun
This is the last installment on a long Chamonix saga, which includes for me and Jeannine more than 18 years of visits to one of my favorite places in the world! A few wintertime flights in Chamonix to start with, while snowboarding here in the early years, then finally summer adventures of hiking hut to hut on the Tour du Mont Blanc thru France, Italy and Switzerland, as well as epic flights in summer between the Chamonix and Passy Valleys. Culminating this year, checking my dream flight off my bucket list, flying 32 miles between Annecy and Chamonix France, over Europe's highest mountain peaks in the Alps! Not to mention a 42 mile flight from Annecy in the opposite direction, over Lake Annecy into the Bauges Range, so close to completing that triangle...
