  • LES SAISIES FAMILY RESORT & MOUNTAIN Villageifrance (73)
    LES SAISIES FAMILY RESORT & MOUNTAIN VILLAGEiFRANCE (73) #L’ALTARENA #CRT4* #ESSENTIAL RANGE 30 Apartments Top-of-the-range Mountain from 1 to 4 bedrooms amenities views ESPACE DIAMANT Once upon a time… The resort of Les Saisies, a large plateau in Beaufortain, was founded in 1935 when Erwin Eckl arrived at Albertville station. The Austrian, a ski instructor from Innsbruck in Tyrol, alighted onto the platform at Albertville station on a beautiful morning in November 1935 with just a trunk and a pair of skis for luggage. The first season went well and, having fallen in love with the area, Erwin Eckl decided to stay and set up his own business in the hotel industry. So he bought a barn with his father-in-law (he married a young woman from Lyon, Hélène Comte, on 8 August 1936) and they agreed to turn it into a hotel. Thus, the first hotel in Les Saisies opened its doors in 1936. The ski resort of Les Saisies was born! The first ski lift in Les Saisies was built by Raymond Clément-Guy, in a place known as ‘Les Pémonts’, with materials from the 20s. The French ski school in Les Saisies was set up in 1937 by Erwin Eckl and Georges Braisaz. By 1968, there were 13 instructors. The Bisanne chairlift was built in the 1963-1964 season; the Periots, Soleil, Chamois, Palette, Boëtet, Gentianes and Marmotte chairlifts were built between 1971 and 1977. In 1985, Claude Mathaly increased the number of ski lifts and connected them to Crest-Voland: Espace Cristal! Régie des Remontées Mécaniques, a ski lift management company, was created in 1998 to differentiate the skiing business and enable the development and refurbishment of the ski area.

  • Immer Für Eine Überraschung Gut! Markus Wasmeier Braut Mit HVG
    special Im Jahr 2007 hat der ehemalige Ski-Superstar – man denke nur an die überraschenden Goldmedaillen im Super-G und im Riesenslalom bei den Olympischen Spielen 1994 in Lillehammer – hier in seiner Heimatregion das Markus Wasmeier Freilichtmuseum Schliersee er - öffnet. Als Initiator und treibende Kraft des altbayerischen Muse - umsdorfes ist es ihm ein großes Anliegen, das kulturelle Erbe zu pflegen und zu bewahren. Da wundert man sich nicht, dass hier im Museumsareal auch eine traditionelle Schöpfbrauerei dank Hacker- Pschorr ihren festen Platz hat. Für den Saisonstart 2013 hatte sich der Hausbraumeister Olaf Krüger einen besonderen, kräftig ge - hopften Sud mit dem vielsagenden Namen „Hopfentraum“ vorge - nommen. Sechs Wochen in Holzfässern gelagert und gereift ist das naturtrübe, bernsteinfarbene Märzen mit 13,5 Prozent Stammwürze und 5,4 Prozent Alkohol. Seit 2011, als die offizielle staatliche Zu - lassung als Hausbrauerei erteilt wurde, ist die Hopfenverwertungs - genossenschaft HVG mit den Sorten Tettnanger, Hallertauer Mittel- früher und Saphir sozusagen Hopfenlieferant des Museumsbräus. Und so reiste am 16. Mai eine Delegation der HVG Tettnang und Hallertau an, um den meisterlichen Trunk erstmals und direkt vor Ort zu verkosten. Und wie kam Wasmeier der erwartungsfrohen Ge - sellschaft entgegen? Natürlich in Tracht und auf dem Mountainbike, mit einem eleganten „Einkehrschwung“ direkt vor dem liebevoll res - taurierten (Gast-)Hof „Beim Wofen“. Und dann war es soweit: Olaf Krüger schenkte persönlich aus, und die begeisterten Kommentare der Gäste ließen die blauen Augen Wasmeiers strahlen: „Kräftig im Antrunk, ohne Ecken und Kanten, und rund im Abgang.“ Einfach bo - denständig und echt, so wie das ganze Museumsdorf mit seinen Märkten, Menschen und Geschichten.

  • 2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations ALBANIA (ALB)
    2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations We list below detailed historial Olympic information for every IOC Member Nation that has previously competed at the Olympic Winter Games and that will compete in Sochi, as of 27 January 2014. There appear to be 88 qualified NOCs that have met IF quota requirements as of 24 January, and have accepted them (the previous record for a Winter Olympics is 82 in 2010 at Vancouver). Unfortunately, after reallocation of some quotas, only the skiing federation (FIS) has published the final quotas as of 26 January. We have tried to list below the sports for which each NOC has qualified but there is a small chance, with reallocations, that there may be minor differences in the final allocation by sport. There are seven nations that will compete in Sochi that have never before competed at the Olympic Winter Games – Dominica, Malta, Paraguay, Timor-Leste (East Timor), Togo, Tonga, and Zimbabwe. Their factsheets have been published previously on olympstats.com – see http://olympstats.com/2014/01/23/new-winter-olympic-nations-for-sochi/, which came out on 23 January. One problem nation is listed below and that is DPR Korea (North). They have not qualified any athletes for Sochi. They had the 1st and 2nd reserves for pairs figure skating but those do not appear to have been chosen by final reallocation of quota sports by the International Skating Union (ISU). However, yesterday (26 January), DPR Korea has petitioned the IOC for redress to allow them to have Olympic athletes compete in Sochi. So they are included below but it is unknown if they will compete.

  • Marcel E Mikaela: I Due Nuovi Campioni Di Atomic Che Inverno
    PRESS RELEASE 21_03_2017 MARCEL E MIKAELA: I DUE NUOVI CAMPIONI DI ATOMIC CHE INVERNO. TEMPERATURE NON SEMPRE MARCATAMENTE SOTTO DELLO ZERO, NEVE ALTALENANTE, MA SOPRATTUTTO MOLTISSIMI MOMENTI DI GLORIA PER REDSTER: IL MARCHIO DI SCI PIÙ VINCENTE DELLA COPPA DEL MONDO E AI MONDIALI DI ST. MORITZ E IN GRADO DI OTTENERE IL PODIO IN BUONA PARTE DELLE 60 GARE IN CALENDARIO. RISULTATO STORICO: MARCEL HIRSCHER E MIKAELA SHIFFRIN, I DUE NUOVI CAMPIONI ATOMIC, ENTRANO A FAR PARTE DELLE LEGGENDE DELLO SCI Solo negli ultimi vent’anni, dalle Finali della Coppa del Mondo gli atleti Atomic sono riusciti a portare a casa in totale 688 kg di “cristallo”! Di questi ben 136 kg sono state vinti da Marcel Hirscher, che ad Aspen si è aggiudicato la sua sesta sfera consecutiva, oltre alla sua settima e ottava coppa di specialità. Qualche dato in più per chiarire il valore di queste prestazioni straordinarie: solo Annemarie Moser-Pröll, tra le leggende Atomic, ha vinto un numero superiore di sfere, pari a 152 chilogrammi di cristallo. Annemarie è anche l'unica ad aver superato Mikaela Shiffrin in fatto di vittorie di Coppa del Mondo a soli 22 anni. Le statistiche dicono 41 a 31 per la sciatrice del secolo. CAMPIONI DI ATOMIC - I MASSIMI RISULTATI SOTTO LA STELLA MIGLIORE Il DNA Atomic da sempre è quello sportivo, il marchio di sci più vincente al mondo, con sede ad Altenmarkt, sta lasciando un segno importante: delle ultime 20 grandi Sfere di Cristallo i campioni Atomic del team maschile ne hanno vinte ben 18! Molti dei migliori sciatori di tutti i tempi hanno puntato su Atomic durante tutta la loro carriera in Coppa del Mondo (come Benni Raich), oppure hanno utilizzato le attrezzatura made in Altenmarkt nel loro periodo di maggior successo.

    Sendung vom 22.3.2013, 21.00 Uhr Markus Wasmeier Doppel-Olympiasieger Ski Alpin im Gespräch mit Corinna Halke-Teichmann Halke-Teichmann: Grüß Gott, meine Damen und Herren, schön, dass Sie bei alpha-Forum dabei sind. Ich darf Ihnen heute einen Mann vorstellen, der durch und durch Bayer ist und der seit frühester Jugend bayerisches Brauchtum lebt und auch pflegt. Als Sportler schrieb er Geschichte, wurde Weltmeister und Doppelolympiasieger und ist damit der erfolgreichste deutsche Skirennläufer aller Zeiten. Herzlich willkommen, Markus Wasmeier. Wasmeier: Vielen Dank für die Einladung. Halke-Teichmann: Markus, vor 30 Jahren hatten Sie Ihren ersten Start beim Weltcup, nämlich bei der Abfahrt in St. Anton. Wenn Ihnen damals jemand gesagt hätte: "Hier sehen Sie den zukünftigen Weltmeister und Olympiasieger", was hätten Sie darauf erwidert? Wasmeier: Na ja, wenn damals jemand damit angefangen hätte zu fragen, was in 30 Jahren sein wird, dann hätte ich ihm gesagt, dass ich möglicherweise gar nicht so alt werde.

Ich habe mir damals geschworen: "Weißt was, Bursch, dich pack ich auch mal!" Halke-Teichmann: Genau, und Stenmark war ja als Mega-Sieger wirklich eine Legende. Wenn Sie sich also damals gesagt haben, dass Sie diesen Mann schlagen wollen, dann deutete sich damit praktisch auch schon der spätere Weltmeister und Olympiasieger in Ihnen an.
