We have been asked where our cache name comes from. Its one of our favourite places on earth, the glacier in a french ski resort, Tignes. Its top station lies at ????m above sea level. And thats the puzzle. Below are photos the 10 best glaciers for skiing in Europe, listed are their top station heights.

I wanted to place this cache close to the field I learnt to ski in Castleside, but it was too close to another cache, so instead I have placed it at the base station of what was proposed to be a dry ski slope in Consett that unfortunately never saw the light of day, which is a shame because it would have been a great spot.
