Val Cenis Vanoise

In today's world, where everybody is angry, where the public everywhere does not trust governments and the media, where countries are at odds with each other, we all need neutral and oxygen-rich oases.

It has been three years since I've been a part of the Ski Club International des Journalistes (SCIJ). This year's meeting is in France, at Val Cenis, a ski resort close to the Italian border. As we depart from Torino Airport, I have a feeling that it will be more like a spring meeting, as the trees along the way are already blossoming.
