  • 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.

  • Winter Olympic Games As a Mega
    TORINO 2006: AN ORGANISATIONAL AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW by Piervincenzo Bondonio and Nadia Campaniello* Working paper n.1/2006 August 2006 * Since this work was conceived and produced jointly, acknowledgement for § 4 and 8 goes to Piervincenzo Bondonio, § 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 to Nadia Campaniello and to both authors for § 1 and 9. Financial support from Fondazione CRT, Progetto “Vittorio Alfieri” is gratefully acknowledged Abstract The Torino 2006 XX Winter Olympic Games have just ended, with results that the organisers and public opinion consider satisfactory on the whole. This article is a first attempt at analysing the Games, with an emphasis on the economic and organisational aspects. The basic question is: “What kind of Games were Torino 2006?”. To provide an answer, we have analysed the reasons behind the bid, the organisational model chosen, the economic scale of the event, and provided a detailed study of the scope of the standard objections to hosting the Games. The paper therefore aims to provide a contribution to the literature (still rather limited) about the Winter Olympics, whose growing size and profile justifies the need for a more careful, broader analysis. 2 Foreword In spite of the growing dimensions of the Olympic Games (“Citius Altius Fortius”), and the huge attention the media devote to them, there is a remarkable lack of reliable and consistent economic data about them. Furthermore, researchers have focused their studies more on the Summer than on the Winter Olympic Games (WOG), still perceiving the former as more prestigious and universal (Schantz, 2006, pp.49-53), although for recent Games the cost per inhabitant is even higher for the Winter Olympics (Preuss, 2004, p.33), which are becoming ever larger in terms of absorbed resources (Preuss, 2002a, p.

    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".

  • 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.
