mint Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Please, Wools, I believe they are called snow shoes and I am assured that the Jura is beautiful................really.Love you, Wools![kiss] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odile Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Sweet, they are called 'raquettes à neige'! Very hard work actually, much harder than cross country skiing. Remember though, Les Contamines is in the Alps, not the Jura.Wools - I did live there for 19 years, and visited about 3 times a year in past 39 years ... and remember many a very happy Spring, and warm Summers, and absolutely glorious autumns.And lots of snow - 30C and quite a bit of rain. Variety is the spice of life they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissie Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Please Woolie - do explain, we Jura people are obviously so inbred, such nuances pass us by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissie Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Not much yodelling going on in this part of Switzerland- very much part of the Swiss German culture- although I do have a friend here who plays the Alpenhorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
