Get a load of this ski resort in the French Alps that offers “Skiing With An Eagle” as an attraction to guests. Les Aigles du Léman is an animal park located between Lake Geneva and the Mont Blanc which opened a secondary location this winter smack dab in the middle of Morzine-Les Gets Ski Area (accessible on skis or by foot if you take the cable car and walk).
