According to my husband I talked slightly more bilge than normal :lol: but I did notice my coordination was a bit all over the place for a blout 20 minutes. Unsurprising though as the ascent is quite fast.

I should have explained - the gondola sickness was caused at Val Thorens, going up to the highest point there, which I think is the Cime de Caron, at 3200 metres.

I also suffered altitude sickness at Kaprun, going straight up in that gondola to the top. I got all silly and giggly (like I was tipsy) and then when I was sitting down in the restaurant at the top everything started moving up and down (or at least I thought it did). I guess I must be very sensitive to altitude.

Heh I had a mad 10 minutes when I got to the top of the Aiguille du Midi!

Chamonix is great! So is Les Gets, but yes it is a bit quieter - more of a family resort

No, you do it all indoors, on wooden floors. Takes about 4 days until you pass a test allowing you outside, but only with a helmet and body padding on.
You got all that stuff yet?

Tony don't be naughty :lol:
