Summer is coming - hit the pool!

The summer season is pretty much here in the Chamonix valley, and some great news for fans of outdoor swimming pools. After a complete makeover and a prolonged period of closure, the open air pool in Chamonix is due to re-open in a couple of weeks time.

Chamonix pool? Who needs it when you've got your own!

The new facility includes a 50m pool, a second smaller pool with massage water jets and toboggans and a paddling pool with water games for the kids. Look out for the official opening on the 11th July. With the indoor pools as well, it's going to be a superb facility whatever the weather and I'm sure will see a few mid afternoon visits from us on the way back from an energetic walk or bike ride.

Of course, when you've got your own pool in the garden it does kind of spoil you!
