ln the company of a friend I was in Haute-Savoie to attend the Winter Olympics in Albertville '92. Chambery.at night we reached by train from Italy, the local train station We changed to achieve Albertville. The town had very little winter resort, there was a bit of snow, but besides being the headquarters of the Games was also the starting point for the many ski resorts that osopitavano different sports. The atmosphere in those days, however, was the classic one with thousands of Olympic athletes and tourists from all over the world. Not being able to see everything we had a selection of sports to follow. After a quick tour of the city reached by bus shuttle to the famous ski resort of Val d'Isere, where the Hotel that housed the "Casa Modena" we met with a journalist friend Rai. Had dinner at the same restaurant where the meal was consuming Alberto Tomba, the day after we saw compete in slalom. We slept in a triple room booked by Rai staying where our journalist friend. The next morning we witnessed the successful test of the Tomb and then shuttle, among other things, free, welcomed the journalist friend via Bourg St.Maurice went back to Albertville. The next day we moved in Les Saisies to attend the trial of biathlon in the afternoon is dedicated to walking in Albertville in a cosmopolitan crowd.
