Rowing and skiing europe
 

A rower who skis and is looking to buy a property in an area which
caters for both but skiing is the more important of the two.

Anyone with properties or recommendations in Italy France of
Switzerland. Preferably access to 3000metre peaks as getting paranoid
about global warming!

Resort recommendations appreciated.

Tricky, given that rowing requires flatness, while alpine skiing
requires hills :-)

Seriously, I would have thought that somewhere such as Interlaken in
Switzerland might be a good bet. You have the lakes for rowing (I
believe Interlaken itself has a well known rowing club), and are
within about half an hour of the Jungfrau ski areas.

Seriously:-
Above sounds good. I am pretty sure that the Swiss are
into competitive rowing.

Frivilously:-
