To Winter Sports by Road My notes on the Monte
Carlo Rally, now in its last and fiercest stages, have drawn inquiries from two Spectator readers on the feasibility of going to their chosen ski-ing places by private car instead of by excessively and uncom- fortably public boat-and-train. I have no information about the French or Italian resorts, but as a rule it is quite easy to get to several places in Switzerland or near enough to them. Last year, in January, a friend of mine made two separate journeys to the Alps and back, once in the sort of saloon that is described as commodious and once in the sort that its flatterers call bijou, and each time the trip was carried out without difficulty. I followed part of his route myself in the summer, to get an idea of the country traversed and of the accommodation to be met with, and granted the essential absence of blizzards there is no reason why the run to the Engadine should not be just as much fun now as in June.
