De ville en ville

My Winter Hobbies

In winter, out of school, I do snowball fights with my friends. It’s very funny.
During holidays and weekends, I like to ski, snowboard and do bobsleigh.
With my family, we go skiing to Chapeau rablé. It’s a famous ski in our canton. We do sometimes races and I win most of the time. I started ski when I was 8 years. We go to slide near my house.
With my class, we skiing cross-country or we go to the ice rink to do some games on the ice. I’m very good because I practice hockey.
When the weather is good in the winter, my family and me go to do torus near the forest to grill sausage.
In the evening, we eat squeegee or a Fondue. It’s very delicious.

The most famous example of architecture in the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds is “Art Nouveau”.
In “Art Nouveau” is comprised of sculptures, frescoes, where we find the
ivy, flowers and trees, usually in green and red, it also balconies and facades.
“Art Nouveau” appears in the nineteenth century and is considered an asset of the history of La Chaux-de-Fonds; many houses reflect the architecture that we enjoy today thanks to the maintenance of buildings.

fondue or the raclette. The gourmands will think for their part of the chocolate most of the time in the milk,

The fondue in the cheese is a dish of hard cheese, such as some Swiss cheese, which is put melting with some white wine and which is warmly consumed with some bread.

 

 The raclette is a typical dish(flat) of Valais and is accompanied with jacket potatoes in dress of fields, with gherkins, with pickling onions as well as with delicatessen.

In la Chaux-de-Fonds, there is a large street where there are all stores. After school, we often go to town. The Coop is a big shopping mall, where we find : H&M, Tally Weijl, Yendi, Ochsner sport, Casa (it’s a shop of accessories), Interdiscount (it’s a shop of electronic)…

In city center there is Metro, a clothes store for young people. Sometimes we go eat to the McDonald or we go to watch a good film to the cinema. There is so a bowling at the exit of the town where we often play and eat. In winter we can ski in the Alps, it’s good because we can go to the night and after we eat a melted in the cheese.

There is an Acroland too, it’s a cross up to trees, it’s very cool and it’s not expensive. That is very funny when we go there, together with friends.

In la Chaux-de-Fonds, we can skate, ski or swim because there is a big swimmingpool. This is very cool but there is a drawback : very often it’s rain and the wind blows. But it’s a beautiful town, it is in the UNESCO World Heritage.

Hockey is a popular sport in Switzerland. There are two important leagues, the LNA and the LNB. The LNA is the best league.
There is a hockey club in La Chaux-de-Fonds (HCC), and they were six times LNA champions (1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1973) and four times LNB champions (1955, 1965, 1996 and 2000).
My favourite players are Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos and Nino Niederreiter. Nino Niederreiter plays in New York with the NY Islanders and he’s swiss. He’s one of the youngest NHL player, he’s 18.
I’ll play in the NHL !
I’ve got three trainings every week and two games.
It’s a very hard sport, it’s spectacular and very fast.
A Swiss team, Zurich Lions, were European champions last year.

 

I hope you like hockey.
