Actually, it is not psychological as the beer tastes different. I'm not going to name breweries, but I know of a few that actually use slightly different recipes for beer that they export, therefore it tastes originally only in the country of its origin 🙂
I have never been to Chamonix as I consider it too touristy, but it might be a good idea to go there just out of the season.
Great photos as always! Thank you for sharing!
That's interesting about the beer. I didn't know that. Makes sense I suppose.
Yeah going in the off seasons would probably be best to avoid tourists. It was okay when we went in July- surprisingly. Still very busy but not uncomfortable. Before June and after September I bet it slows down quite a bit before the winter season picks up.
