  • Lo Sci Alpino
    LO SCI ALPINO Silvia Martinalli 1) Storia STORIA DELLO SCI Lo sci alpino in senso moderno iniziò a svilupparsi soltanto a partire dalla metà del XIX e nel 1896 un Austriaco introdusse un nuovo metodo per curvare che si avvicinava molto a quello dello sci moderno. Nel secondo dopoguerra lo sci alpino non è più solo un passatempo per gente di montagna o ricchi turisti ma diventa sport di massa grazie anche al nascere di stazioni sciistiche attrezzate con numerosi impianti di risalita. Lo sci alpino moderno si articola in 4 diverse discipline: discesa libera, super gigante, slalom gigante e slalom speciale. GARE ED EVOLUZIONE DELLA DISCIPLINA Le gare di sci erano assai diffuse già nel XIX secolo nei paesi scandinavi, ma si trattava principalmente di gare di sci nordico. A fine Ottocento sulle Alpi iniziarono a disputarsi le prime gare alpine, come la discesa del 1893 in Austria o la discesa organizzata in Germania dal Club della Foresta Nera, con un dislivello di 160 metri. Alla fine del XIX secolo e l'inizio del XX nacquero numerosi club e associazioni per la promozione dello sci soprattutto nei paesi alpini, in quelli scandinavi e nel Nord America; furono soprattutto gli inglesi a contribuire allo sviluppo delle gare di discesa, tipicamente alpine, snobbate per altro dagli scandinavi, appassionati di sci di fondo. 2) Gli sci Sci da discesa Per lo sci alpino, fino alla metà degli anni 90, gli sci erano lunghi e quasi dritti lateralmente (in realtà già avevano una leggera sciancratura). Oggi si usano sci sciancrati cioè dalla forma parabolica: stretti al centro e più larghi in punta e coda, sono i cosiddetti sci carving.

    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).
