Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite enough. Ranko tested negative, but stayed in quarantine at home as a precaution due to a positive case in his close environment.<\/p>\n

So we drove to Geneva on Saturday morning with only two instead of three cars, with a short stop at Zurich Airport, as Jony came directly from London.<\/p>\n

After a good five hour drive we were standing in front of a huge house in a tiny Savoy village! But the Chalet Goville was not only \u201ctr\u00e8s chic\u201d from the outside. We shouldn’t want for anything in these seven days. Well, except for a fast internet connection.<\/p>\n

Our historic home from 1888 has only recently been hollowed out, renovated and expanded with great care and a great deal of style awareness. Many of the original knitted walls have been preserved, the country kitchen under the old, six-meter-high wood chimney is equipped with a large Lacanche stove, the cool natural cellar next to the kitchen has been converted into a walk-in wine and storage cupboard, and the old vaulted arch on the ground floor is integrated into the spa landscape as well as the living comfort overall raised to a modern level. Everyone can choose a spacious room with an integrated bathroom and a private balcony. We would only have got the house full if our partners and all the children had come with us.<\/p>\n

Since we booked our stay after the hiking season but before the ski season, the little village sank into pleasant calm. And on Monday already in snow.<\/p>\n

For this reason we started our first hike on the Petit Croisse Baulet on Sunday. After almost 3 hours and 800 meters of ascent through wonderfully colored autumn forests, we were rewarded with a wonderful view of the Mont-Blanc massif.<\/p>\n

Due to the current Covid regulations and the nationwide lockdown that will apply throughout France from Friday, we have waived city tours, excursions and restaurant visits.<\/p>\n

The days were therefore characterized by homely comfort. As is already tradition, we cooked for each other in teams of two, worked in between, read a lot, lit the fireplace at the push of a button, enjoyed the sauna and whirlpool, and put in a few spinning sessions, jogging laps and walks. There was enough space and opportunities and so our team retreat 2020 evaporated in no time.<\/p>\n

Nice, despite the adverse circumstances, it worked out to spend time together intensively as a team.<\/p>\n

We’ll see each other from home for the coming weeks and months. Stay healthy!<\/p>\n
