The Refuge Guglielmina, built by the Guglielmina family, hotelliers by ancient tradition, was the highest hotel in Europe in its time.

Having played a major role in the mountaineering history of the Monte Rosa (among the many guests here was the Queen margherita of Savoy), it was reopened as an Alpine refuge by descendants of the same family who built it.

Il is situated in a strategic position at 2880 mt. between the valleys of Alagna and Gressoney and can be reached by using the lifts.

During the summer months it is a starting point for easy mountain excursions, while to the experts, it offers the opportunity of reaching the high peaks of Monte Rosa. During the winter season it is frequented by keen skiiers and, thanks to its ideal position, is the perfect location for off-piste skiing and heliskiing.

In the winter evenings during the full moon, night time descents are organised by torchlight.
The inside of the refuge is rustic and comfortable, traditionally furnished in the style of its period.

There are 40 beds, with twin rooms all equipped with warm quilts.
The simple, good home cooking and typical dishes are synonymous of the warmth of the refuge.

The well stocked wine-cellar houses a wide choice of the finest quality wines for Piemonte and Aosta Valley regions. The refuge also happily accepts dogs.

The time of year has arrived when the weather gets warm again. Having had poor weather for a lot of the season in Chamonix including very cold temperatures, high winds and frequent overcast periods with snow, Spring is finally here. More stable weather has meant that backcountry skiing and snowboarding is well and truly here. Today three of us climbed up to Helbronner from the Aig du Midi as a bit of practice at altitude. A mountain guide friend was doing the same with a small group who head off on the Haute Route over to Zermatt tomorrow. A 7 day tour from Chamonix staying in Mountain Refuges.

Chamonix is a great valley to explore for touring either with skins and skis or show shoes and snowboard. Base yourself in a cosy catered chalet like Ski Breezy to get advice on what the snow conditions are like in different parts of the valley. Ask about hiring a High Mountain Guide to show you the ropes and make sure you get up and down safely.

For those who prefer to make full use of the lift system then spring skiing and boarding means that a slightly later start in the mornings gives a little more time for the snow to soften up. By mid afternoon the sunny slopes are starting to get a bit slushy, great for boarders and telemarkers but less fun on alpine skis. So early apr?ɬ®s ski on a terrace in the sun could be in order or even a rock climb or two at the roadside crag of Lac Gailands. The north facing domain of Grand Montets keeps it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s snow longer as it is less affected by the sun, great snow there at the moment.
This is a great time of year in Chamonix as the town slows down a little. It is noticeable as you walk down the main street as people meander and chill out rather than strut on a mission to get as much skiing in as the daylight allows.

Check out last minute Chamonix accommodation offers and ski deals with Ski Breezy to top up the tan and grab the last of the ski season the comfort of a cosy catered chalet. Fine food and flowing wine.

Gone are the days when a catered chalet owner like Ski Breezy ask clients to write something to go on the website as a testimonials. With the advent of Web 2.0, where the user interacts with a site and creates the content, there are far more trusted ways to build a reputation.

The risks are huge. Essentially anyone can write anything they like about your business and you have no control. You can no longer gather testimonials and just publish the ones that you want prospective clients to read. Whether you like it or not there is a load of user generated information available out there and some of it could be about the experience people have had staying at your accommodation or the service they received in your establishment.

So why not embrace it – encourage prospective clients to read it, and encourage past clients to publish more?

Having asked new enquirers and clients where they found details for Ski Breezy. We discovered that about 15% are from referrals, some are from search engines but a growing number are from sites like Trip Advisor and Google Maps. There is a developing population who are cynical of static website content and more trusting of sites of user generated content.

More recently a few clients suggested that we set up a Facebook Page . This provides yet another forum for generating reviews as well as discussion forums. The more interesting thing about the Facebook Page is that it taps into the social media psychology as well as the user generated web content. The Chamonix Page for example has a following of over 7,000 people who love the place and share photos of the valley. So anyone who becomes a fan of a page automatically promotes that page to everyone they are ?¢‚Ǩ?ìconnected?¢‚Ǩ¬ù to. Thus a Facebook Page is a kind of network marketing tool. The puzzle is how to create a page that people want to interact with? And that is indeed a puzzle.

Ideally located in les Praz of Chamonix, close to the golf course and ski lifts of Flegere, comfortable facilities with friendly service to make your stay enjoyable.
