Trip to Chamonix, France

Very, very crowded during the summer.

It took us about one our to find a free parking place. Probably during winter time it´s also packed and impossible to find one.

Otherwise it´s one of the most pitoresque montain resorts we've seen.

Rather difficult to find a parking place during the summer months.
