"We Dream of White Sands and Skyscapes": Readers' 2023 Vacation Plans

Spring in the shadow of Mont Blanc, France

I'm planning my dream vacation in the Alps for spring. Eco-friendly transport is important to me and Chamonix is ​​accessible by train from London (allowing a quick stop in Paris). I plan to spend my days hiking, climbing, running and exploring the breathtaking trails and peaks of Mont Blanc. The Alps are a dream destination for anyone looking to embrace their adventurous side or simply indulge in the region's rich hot chocolate.Eleanor Warren
