  • Skihorizon Announces the 10 Most Popular European Ski Resorts of the Last Season Submitted By: SEPR Tuesday, 12 April 2011
    SkiHorizon announces the 10 most popular European ski resorts of the last season Submitted by: SEPR Tuesday, 12 April 2011 French ski resorts have proved to be the most popular in Europe, new sales data released today by SkiHorizon on the 2010-2011 winter ski season reveals. The French and the Brits continue to have different tastes for their ski holidays (http://www.skihorizon.co.uk/ski-holiday-guide) – French skiers and snowboarders are far more likely to ski in their own country, whereas British holidaymakers divide their loyalties between France, Switzerland and Austria. Top ski resorts: French bookers • Val Thorens • Les Deux Alpes • Avoriaz • Les Arcs 1800 • Les Menuires • Les Coches • Saint Sorlin d'Arves • Risoul • Tignes Val Claret • Plagne Bellecôte Top ski resorts: UK bookers • Morzine • Les Arcs • Saas Fee • Serre Chevalier • Avoriaz • La Plagne • St Anton • Megeve • Puy St Vincent • Alpe D'Huez Overall this illustrates that France is the most popular skiing destination among SkiHorizon’s customers. But Italy is steadily growing in popularity and SkiHorizon forecast that one of its resorts will break into the top 10 in the next few years. Mark Oliver, UK Marketing Manager at SkiHorizon commented: {{“It’s no surprise that the French overwhelmingly choose to ski in their own country, with world-beating ski resorts on their doorstep, it takes a lot of persuasion for them to try skiing in other countries. Page 1 “I do wish more French people would take the time to discover the dramatic scenery and the warm welcomes of Austria though, they would be very pleasantly surprised.”}} SkiHorizon has published guides to skiing and snowboarding across Europe.

    PRESS PACK WINTER 2020 / 2021 savoie mont blanc Located between lakes and mountains, Savoie Mont Blanc is a beautiful area for a winter break. Savoie Mont Blanc has 110 ski resorts, including some world-famous ones such as Val d’Isère, Méribel, Courchevel, Chamonix… and many more. But there are also some smaller ones, which are not well-known by British skiers. This winter could be the ideal time to visit a smaller resort for alpine skiing and also to try some other winter sport activities, such as cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. These eco-friendly activities are the perfect way to peacefully enjoy the beautiful vistas and the pure mountain air, while coming back super-fit from your holiday. If you opt for slow travel, why not stop for a few nights before or after going to a ski resort? There are many charming hotels in the pretty towns of Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and Annecy, as well as by the lakes and in the vineyards. In the valleys and mountains, more and more hotels and residences are eco-friendly. This sustainable trend is being taken up by restaurants too, which are offering more and more organic, local and seasonal produce. Whatever type of winter holiday you choose, Savoie Mont Blanc is the perfect place to reboot and feel re-energised once back home. Savoie Mont Blanc is easy to access by plane (airports include Chambéry, Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva) and car. Although there is no Snowtrain this winter, Savoie Mont Blanc is still easily accessible by train: take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille, then the TGV to Chambéry or Annecy (it takes less than 3 hours from Paris to Chambéry and less than 4 hours for Annecy).

It recalls sliding sports and France with its colours as well as the olympic spirit with the flame inspired by the Savoie cross and the olympic rings. So as to integrate the olympic emblem (text, rings), a deep graphic study was made. The official logo of the 1992 Winter Olympics Games consists of three inseparable elements : - a symbol, "the flame", - a typography "Albertville 92", - the olympic rings which according to the IOC olympic charter, "represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes of the whole world on the occasion of the Olympic Games in a spirit of loyal competition and friendship, ideal praised by the Baron de Coubertin".

In this paper we demonstrate how spatial modelling co-produced with Iconic biodiversity managers can support the assessment of interactions between two cultural services: outdoor recreation and iconic Physical and psychological experiences terrestrial vertebrates. In two French national parks (Ecrins and Vanoise) we showed clear seasonal differentiation Supporting identities in spatial patterns for potential iconic vertebrate diversity, recreation opportunities and their interactions. Our first Nature protection hypothesis that limited access and mobility of recreationists during winter would increase potential wildlife refugia Seasonality Ecosystem service maps was largely validated for Ecrins. Our second hypothesis that lower but spatially diffuse pressure from recreationists in Ecrins would increase potential interference as compared to more intense but directed activity in Vanoise was consistent with patterns in summer. For winter the spatial concentration of recreation around ski resorts of Vanoise was highly impactful. Across both parks concerns about the expansion of winter activities are legitimate, especially for climate-sensitive species. We also showed the critical role of refuge areas in high valleys (summer) and lower slopes away from tracks (winter), highlighting threats from off-track practices.
