✅ Day 1 – Monday, June 30, 2025
Geneva → Goat Village → Avoriaz → Dard Waterfall → Beaufort
The first official day of the HGT’25 Cross-Alps Tour kicks off in style as we leave our hotel in Geneva and head straight into the heart of the Alps.
We caught up with Miguel and his stunning M2 CS for a quick hello. He’ll be joining us for a short drive, but unfortunately, work commitments mean he can’t stay with us for the rest of the day. Still — great to see him, even if briefly!
🐐 First Stop: Goat Village (Les Lindarets)
A charming mountain hamlet where goats roam freely through the streets—one of the quirkiest and most memorable spots in the French Alps. A perfect place to stretch our legs, grab a quick local snack, and snap some unforgettable photos.
We faced one of the first setbacks of the event with Dom and his pocket rocket. Due to urgent front tire issues, he had to get them replaced right away. As a result, he skipped the day’s route and took the motorway directly to the hotel.
Some fun and challenge feeding the goats! 
🗻 Moving towards Avoriaz
After a spirited climb and unusually high temperatures for the time of day, the M6 began to overheat — so we decided to take a break and let the cars cool down for a while.
and yeah some evidence from the Goat village ….
Before arriving the hotel i look for a car wash a few minutes away from the hotel.
🏨 Evening Destination:
Hotel de la Roche
📍 24 Avenue du Capitaine Bulle, 73270 Beaufort, France
We'll wrap up Day 1 in Beaufort, settling in at this cozy alpine hotel nestled in the scenic Beaufortain valley—home to legendary cheese and legendary roads.
Our room was lovely.
And with a proper garage for our cars:
Marek getting something fixed with his exhaust.
⛽ Status: Full tanks, fresh air, and the road ahead. The Alps have officially welcomed us.
