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. Don |

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. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager I keep my .BAT files in D:\BELFRY To reply by email, my address is alexATheneyDOTplusDOTcom |

I am pretty sure that the Swiss are into competitive rowing. Frivilously:- Rowing:- http://www.newtonmore.com/watersport/morlich2.htm Skiing:- http://www.cairngormmountain.com/ About 3 miles apart.
