A Christmas gift - Harry Yasno
You can start your story like this...
Snow blanketed the streets, homes, and parks with its fluffy white mantle, while frost etched intricate patterns on windows. Icicles hanging from roofs sparkled like diamonds in the sun, as the crunch of snow underfoot and the tingling chill of the air heightened the sensory experience. People bustled about with joyful energy, exchanging greetings and gifts in celebration of the Happy New year.
My New Year story starts like this...
WHAT TO GIFT MYSELF on New Year's? And, since this was not just any New Year, but a special one, the New Millennium, the gift had to be special too. So I decided to gift myself with wonderful and unforgettable memories - a ski descent down Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in Western Europe at 4,808 meters. Why not, if Yes! Mont Blanc straddles the borders of Italy, France, and Switzerland. If I have made a decision, I will surely follow through, which is why at the end of December, I took my wife, daughter, and skis and made my way to the French village of Chamonix, located at the base of Mont Blanc.
It is a beautiful place, I tell you - charming, cultural, and refined - an Alpine village with quaint houses, shops, and streets. We settled into a comfortable chalet with a magical view of Mont Blanc.
Chamonix
The introduction to Chamonix was a highly emotional affair, filled with enthusiastic exclamations!
What a delight!
Enchanting!
Beguiling!
In the café and bistro, we sipped divine French wine, purchased souvenirs and guides in the souvenir shops, and ate Tar-Tar with Fondue in the oldest village restaurant. The village was so beautiful that I wanted to take it with me... all of it, as a New Year's present. Why not? ...and we did it by buying postcards and magnets. Incidentally, in one of the shops, I purchased a brochure on how to reach the summit of Mont Blanc and where to descend from it - a useful item.
The Brochure
Having familiarized myself with the Brochure, I learned:
● One can ascend to the summit of Mont Blanc by lift.
● The cost is 12 euros, including insurance.
● The lift operates until 4:00 PM.
● At the top, there is a restaurant.
● The descent route was indicated by a dotted line.
Excellent!
