  • A Great Season, Everyone!
    GUIDE FOR SEASONAL WORKERS WINTER/SUMMER 2010-2011 HAVE A GREAT Pays du Mont-Blanc - Arve Valley SEASON Hello and welcome! 652,000 tourist beds 2nd most popular department for tourism in France From Mont Blanc and the Aravis mountains to the shores of Lake Léman and Lake Annecy, Haute-Savoie offers an idyllic setting for numerous seasonal employees. These workers help ensure enjoyable holidays for tourists from all over the globe. With the current economic climate showing signs of improvement, tourism remains the number one job creation sector in Haute Savoie, showing expansion in the hospitality and ski lift industries. Tourism is an industry that can’t be relocated overseas, and thus represents a vital asset for the future. Since 2007, the public authorities (national government, Regional Councils, and General Councils), elected officials, labour and management groups, and all players involved in social issues (C.A.F., C.P.A.M., M.S.A., subsidized housing, occupational health services) have mobilized to promote seasonal employment as a priority for the department, notably including it in a goals charter. With this framework in mind, and to ensure that seasonal workers « have a good season », the regions of Pays du Mont Blanc and Chablais have mobilized to welcome these employees by means of the Chamonix « Espace Saisonnier » (centre for seasonal workers) and the Chablais « Point Accueil Saisonnier » (information desk for seasonal workers). On a larger scale, Haute-Savoie strives to inform seasonal workers more thoroughly by publishing this guide. Here, employees and employers will find answers to a variety of questions that may concern them, including training, employment, working conditions, health, and housing.

  • Directions Epoque
    Directions to La Belle Epoque Chamonix from Geneva Airport by road (Swiss Side) La Belle Epoque 255 Avenue Michel Croz 74400 Chamonix Mont-Blanc • This route avoids the centre of Geneva and is usually quicker though about 14km longer. The toll cost is the same as driving through Geneva city centre. The route is about 100km and should take no more than an hour. You will need around a total of €6 for the two péage (toll) points for a normal car . All major credit cards are accepted 24/7 but don’t get money from Geneva airport – Swiss Francs are no use! • To summarise, follow the signs to France and once in France, follow the signs to Chamonix Mont-Blanc. It couldn’t be easier but to be a bit more specific… • On leaving the airport join the main road, Route De Pré-Bois . Follow the green motorway signs to France along a straight road for about 1km. There are a couple of signs indicating France to the left, but ignore them and carry on straight until you arrive at a T-junction with traffic lights. • At the T-junction turn left onto the Route de Vernier . • Immediately move into the right lane (bus lane) and turn right down the slip road. • Drive about 150m down the slip road onto the motorway sign-posted France . • The E62-A1-E25 motorway takes you to the border (Bardonnex) with France. • Once in France follow the signs Chamonix Mont-Blanc (slip road on the right). • As a note, it takes about 20 minutes from Sallanches to Chamonix, just as you start to rise up the large viaduct into the Valley .

Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Walking in the Haute Savoie: South: Book 2: Annecy-Chamonix (Faucigny/Haut Giffre, Aravais/Borne), Janette Norton, The Haute Savoie region of France lies in the southeast of the country below Lake Geneva. While the region is probably best known for its famous Mont Blanc range, this guide opens up to walkers the dozens of other, less frequented mountains in the Haute Savoie, which are just as delightful. This guide is the second of a series of two volumes covering the walking possibilities in the Haute Savoie. Book 1 covers gentle pre-alps south of Lake Geneva (Chablais, Salve and Valle Verte), across to the Swiss border. Book 2 covers the higher peaks to the south, between Annecy and Chamonix, and describes 30 walks in the area. Both volumes of the guide also give historical background, descriptions of the different areas the walks start from, plus additional information regarding the towns and villages which can be used as a base. There are chapters concerning how to get there, equipment, walk explanations, flora and fauna. READ ONLINE [ 7.19 MB ] Reviews Thorough information for publication lovers. it was actually writtern extremely properly and useful. I found out this publication from my i and dad suggested this book to learn. -- Dr. Garnett McLaughlin II Undoubtedly, this is actually the finest work by any writer.

    70fcvSs )UNTAINEERING Presented to the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LIBRARY by the ONTARIO LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY 1980 v Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from University of Toronto http://www.archive.org/details/mountaineeringveOObens 1 £1. =3 ^ '3 Kg V- * g-a 1 O o « IV* ^ MOUNTAINEERING VENTURES BY CLAUDE E. BENSON Ltd. LONDON : T. C. & E. C. JACK, 35 & 36 PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. AND EDINBURGH PREFATORY NOTE This book of Mountaineering Ventures is written primarily not for the man of the peaks, but for the man of the level pavement. Certain technicalities and commonplaces of the sport have therefore been explained not once, but once and again as they occur in the various chapters. The intent is that any reader who may elect to cull the chapters as he lists may not find himself unpleasantly confronted with unfamiliar phraseology whereof there is no elucidation save through the exasperating medium of a glossary or a cross-reference. It must be noted that the percentage of fatal accidents recorded in the following pages far exceeds the actual average in proportion to ascents made, which indeed can only be reckoned in many places of decimals. The explanation is that this volume treats not of regular routes, tariffed and catalogued, but of Ventures—an entirely different matter. Were it within his powers, the compiler would wish ade- quately to express his thanks to the many kind friends who have assisted him with loans of books, photographs, good advice, and, more than all, by encouraging countenance. Failing this, he must resort to the miserably insufficient re- source of cataloguing their names alphabetically.

  • A L'ombre De Blaitière
    2011CHAMONIX-MONT-BLANC • 900 ANS D’HISTOIRE A l’ombre de Blaitière Année 2011 A l’heure de la 17e édition de ces journées du patrimoine chamoniardes, nous repartirons d’où nous nous sommes arrêtés, en septembre dernier : aux portes des Planards. Le cheminement proposé nous conduira à la redécouverte de quatre lieux majeurs de la commune : les Planards, le Biollay et son cimetière, la gare du Montenvers et le temple protestant. Chacun de ces endroits aura contribué de manière déterminante à la vie de la commune. Introduction Le site des Planards, aménagé après-guerre pour l’accueil de compétitions, est fortement associé à la tradition sportive de Chamonix. Chapitre A l’ombre de Blaitière Le cimetière, dont le transfert correspond à la délocalisation imposée dans la plupart des communes françaises au XIXe siècle, reste le lieu de mémoire et de recueillement par excellence pour les familles I chamoniardes et celles qui ont perdu un de leurs proches. La gare du Montenvers et la ligne sont quant à elles, en dépit de l’âpreté des résistances que leur construction suscita, le témoignage de l’entrée de Chamonix dans la modernité touristique et technique du moment (le tournant du siècle). Le temple protestant illustre l’empreinte de long cours de la communauté britannique sur la vie locale et sur la construction d’édifices, religieux ou non. Ce parcours patrimonial s’achèvera par une brève échappée, via la place du Mont-Blanc, vers la rue des Moulins et une station devant la maison Baud, en voie d’être reconvertie en Maison de la mémoire et du patrimoine : une courte présentation des futures missions de ce bâtiment emblématique du patrimoine chamoniard servira de prélude à sa prochaine inauguration.
