I know it looks like daylight, but these photos were taken in the middle of the night a couple of days after the full moon. The snow cover reflects so much light, it almost seems like day. From the Gornergrat summit above Zermatt, Switzerland. The shots with the Matterhorn were taken from the hotel terrace, the other 2 were taken from the hotel room window.
A huge glacier which looks like a motorway winding between the mountains (although not as big as it was in the past) with a wonderful Ice Cave where you can experience what it is like to be inside a glacier
Going down the narrow ridge on foot with steep drop off on both sides and very icy . It's not easy to balance yourself, because you are carrying own skis and poles in strong gusts. Aiguille du Midi, 100% off-piste skiing, Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France. Feb 4,2010
L’ensemble de la station de Serre-chevalier : j'ai passé des moments très agréables sur ces pistes ! Peu de choses ont changé depuis #Proxima à bord de la Station, mais quand on observe la Terre on voit une différence fondamentale : c’est l’été dans l’hémisphère nord (alors que ma première mission était en hiver !). En Europe, ça se remarque particulièrement aux sommets des Alpes qui sont bien moins enneigés. Personnellement bien que né et ayant grandi bien loin des Alpes, j’adore la montagne en toute saison que ce soit pour randonner, escalader, skier, faire du VTT ou tout simplement pour admirer leurs paysages à couper le souffle. Voici 2 lieux où démarrent de nombreuses aventures quelle que soit la température : Gap et Serre-Chevalier. Les Alpes du Sud ont, en plus, un petit côté méridional !
Serre-Chevalier station, spent many great moments sliding down these slopes!
Even though the air in the Space Station is pretty much exactly the same as during my last mission, one thing is different: looking down at Earth, the northern hemisphere is in the Summer this time. This is noticeable in the Alps where there is less snow covering the mountaintops. Luckily the French Alps are a joy in all seasons be it for walking, mountain biking, skiing, paragliding or just enjoying the amazing views. Two places where many adventures start whatever the temperature: Gap and Serre-Chevalier.
