    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).

    Hyatt Announces Plans for Hyatt Centric La Rosière, Hyatt’s First Ski Resort in the French Alps 1/18/2017 HYATT CENTRIC LA ROSIÈRE MARKS CONTINUED INTERNATIONAL BRAND GROWTH CHICAGO (January 18, 2017) – Hyatt Hotels & Resorts today announced plans for Hyatt Centric La Rosière, the first Hyatt Centric hotel in France and Hyatt’s first ski resort in the region. Hyatt has entered into a franchise agreement with La Rosière Gestion SARL to be managed by Sophos Hotels. The 71-room hotel is expected to open by the 2017-18 winter season. Hyatt Centric La Rosière will bring the Hyatt Centric brand concept to the French Alps, providing a cosmopolitan vibe inviting exploration and discovery for millennial-minded travelers who want to be in the middle of the action. The hotel will be located moments away from the ski lifts in the center of the destination, with breath taking views of the mountains and valleys beyond. Guests will be able to head straight from the slopes to the hotel bar, H40 Bistro Bar, and the fashionable all day dining restaurant, La Tavola, providing a vibrant atmosphere for both guests and non-residents in the heart of La Rosière. Both food and beverage outlets will capture unparalleled views of the mountains from the bottom of the slope, while selected rooms will include bathrooms that offer panoramic views of the Valley. The hotel ensures travellers remain connected to the mountains throughout their stay. The hotel will boast an unbeatable location, sitting in the centre of ‘Franco-Italian’ La Rosière. The town is a popular skiing destination in the Tarentaise Valley known for its dramatic landscape and close proximity to Courchevel, Val d’Isere and Les Arcs.

  • Présentation Powerpoint
    Press information: 1st December 2015 Savoie Mont Blanc: a family-friendly destination The ski season has officially started in Savoie Mont Blanc! Tignes, Val d’Isère and Val Thorens are now open, and more resorts will open this weekend. Savoie Mont Blanc is a family-friendly destination, which offers some fun activities for all ages! Courchevel Aventure invites children aged six and over to learn how to drive a real snowmobile. The activity takes place on a specially adapted 700-metre circuit near the Family Park, at an altitude of 2,000 metres. The concept was tested for the first time last year, and was an immediate success. It costs €45 per child for 20 minutes. A third BabyPark is opening in Savoie Mont Blanc. After Praz de Lys and Val d’Arly, Les Saisies is the third resort to have a BabyPark. Created by Frédéric Borgey and Elsa Jougla, the BabyPark allows children aged from three to seven to learn dog sledding in a safe environment. The equipment used is adapted to little ones and the dogs are specially trained to be with children. The BabyPark has a chalet where children can warm up after a session of fun learning, or play when it snows. The BabyPark concept has been franchised and is now being exported to Germany, Italy and Norway. New on the slopes: The ESF (French Ski School) in Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc is launching Freeski+ video courses. The mini riders will be filmed by the instructors and will learn how to edit their own videos. Mickey on the snow Val Cenis has a new children’s slope with sculptures of the famous Mickey Mouse and his friends.

From creating to managing resorts 1 From creating to managing resorts Emerging stakeholder group rationales in the Tarentaise valley Emmanuelle George-Marcelpoil et Hugues François 1 Developing tourist facilities in the mountains is often based on an approach evoking its “enhancement” (Guérin, 1984) and involving sustained investment. However, as B.Larique demonstrates (2006), local stakeholders are not passive and are progressively taking over the tourism sector. The question then arises of the balance between local control and external funding. In this respect, fitting out the high-altitude sites supported by the Snow Plan in France is a particularly interesting case-study. The resorts are growth centres, the dynamics of which structure the entire local economy.
