If you’re anything like us, your travel bucket list has been growing at an increasingly rapid rate during lockdown, while sadly the ticks against the ‘been there’ destinations have stayed the same.
The world is starting to slowly open up again and all of us in the snow travel community are holding our collective breath for news of what the 2020 Australian snow season will look like and if we will in fact be able to pop over to NZ – especially after the incredible early snow falls!
While restrictions are beginning to ease and it’s wonderful to see family and friends again (albeit in small, suitably spaced gatherings), we are still loving all the amazing virtual experiences that allow us to explore the world from home.
And it looks like it’s going to be perfect weather this weekend to cosy up by the fire, hot chocolate (or quarantini) in hand and #TravelFromHome. Read on for the latest from our #TFH hit list along with our destination guide to Chamonix Mont Blanc – home of the alpine spirit.

ISO-BAKING S’MORES
The ultimate iso-baking treat for a wintry weekend, s’mores are a classic USA and Canadian camping favourite of fire-toasted marshmallows and chocolate sandwiched between buscuits.
Named for their “some-moreish” qualities, they have us reminiscing of good times around the fire pit at Big White in Canada and St Regis Deer Valley in Park City, Utah where they host complimentary s’mores cook ups every night during winter. Click here for the recipe.
DREAM NOW, TRAVEL LATER – CHAMONIX
Arguably the home of the Alpine spirit, Chamonix Mont Blanc is renowned for having some of the steepest and most challenging skiing in the world, making it an ideal choice for experienced skiers and snowboarders. But outside of the challenge, Chamonix has plenty to offer intermediates with long cruisy runs and a dedicated beginner’s area.
In the shadows of Mont Blanc and among rock spires, there is plenty of deep powder to be discovered. Combine this with a vibrant resort atmosphere, and spectacular scenery, it’s no surprise Chamonix is one of the world’s favourite snow destinations
The expert area is huge, enabling skiers and snowboarders to take on thrilling and ungroomed black runs with views over the spectacular glacier. There is also the off piste terrain of the 20km long Vallee Blanche – just perfect for a guided experience and something to tick off the bucket list.
Where to stay:
Hotel Le Morgane – Ideally located in the heart of Chamonix and just steps from the Aiguille du Midi cable car, Hotel Le Morgane is a 4-star boutique hotel with spa combining a modern elegant style with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
