52 Weeks Project
The Winter of 2019 and 2020 is till now very mild and warm. Good to be able to walk in the snow at an altitude of 1600 meters in Les Arcs in France...
Location: Les Arcs 1600, Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Savoie, region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
Coordinates: 45°35'47" N 6°47'35" E
Reason: My 24th overnight (découcher) in Bourg-Saint-Maurice for the Winter special of Thalys; the
Thalys Neige. To be able to walk in the snow we had to take the funiculaire from 810 to 1600 meters altitude to enjoy the snow and the view of the snow-capped mountains.
Bourg-Saint-Maurice: Bourg-Saint-Maurice, popularly known as Bourg, is a commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It is the last large town along the Tarentaise valley in the heart of the French Alps.Bourg-Saint-Maurice is part of the Paradiski ski area (425 km of slopes, 141 lifts, 239 slopes - 12 Green, 132 Blue, 66 Red, 29 Black). Although there is no skiing at this altitude, it is conveniently linked to Arc 1600 by the Arc en Ciel funicular railway and is therefore home to many budget rental properties. Unlike the villages that make up Les Arcs, Bourg-Saint-Maurice is open all year.
