Choose the Perfect Ski Resorts for a Brilliant Experience

If you have always wanted to try out skiing but felt that organising all the paraphernalia that go-hand-in glove with booking not only the tickets, but where to get the skis, special clothing, where to learn how to ski and  where to stay – that in itself is enough to scare even the bravest and feistiest of travellers. Where does one begin and which ski resorts should one try out? This seems to be too much information for most individuals.

There is help and hope on the horizon; actually – a click away, where you can organise the entire adventure with great ease online.

If it is class and style that suit your palate then a sophisticated skiing experience in the French Alps is the perfect antidote for you. This should be one of your preferred places to become a dab hand at this phenomenal sport. The French Alps are renowned for offering brilliant resorts which are perfectly located on the Eastern side of the French Alps dissecting France and Italy and offering skiing opportunities and slopes that are simply awe–inspiring.

A couple of the dazzling resorts on offer in France include Chamonix (who has not heard of wonderful Chamonix) which is cuddled in the valley of the majestic Mont Blanc – indeed a spectacular location. The slopes are a challenge for the discerning skiing enthusiast.

Two other resorts that are certainly worth your while visiting in France are Val d’Isere and Val Thorens – both offering stupendous skiing slopes, and a kinetic nightlife which leaves a smile on the lips long thereafter.

Brilliant service, scintillating skiing, breathtaking scenery, sumptuous food and a dazzling nightlife all make skiing in France a memorable experience, and all you really need to do is to find the ski resorts that appeal to you, whether you would love to ski in France, Austria, Italy, Canada or New Zealand. There is a skiing experience to suit even the fussiest palate.

Bears in the Canadian Rockies

Bears in the Canadian Rockies

Black bears, brown bears, grizzlies, skies that go on forever, moose and terrific scenery all form part of this fairytale Magic Kingdom. Bears with clever eyes and frightening claws that can strip the bark from trees are found in this area of Canada.

In the north, the town of Churchill, which is situated on the shores of the Hudson Bay, is renowned for being the polar bear capital of the world. Every northern late summer right up until November these bears shuffle with their black noses, wandering and roaming the shore and even the town to find food and humans.

Explore the Canadian Rockies in sophisticated style on the first-class glass-domed Rocky Mountaineer which is a luxury train that leaves from Vancouver offering a smorgasbord of exquisite scenery. Passing through Jasper National Park and Banff National Park ought to offer sightings of bears, but there are never guarantees of sightings as are rare sightings of the Big Five in the Kruger National Park.

Glaciers and gorges abound, but the idea of seeing a bear adds that little edge of excitement to the adventure.

Vancouver, ensconced between white-capped mountain peaks pointing skywards, is sprinkled with white fairy dust and the azure Atlantic is without a doubt one of the finest and most pristine urban locations in the world.

Wonderful green forests, parkland and silent peaks abound and in-between are neat streets and skyscrapers, smart bridges and ghostly sky trains that silently move at incredible speeds, fabulous restaurants and quaint little paths downtown complete the storybook picture of this fine city.

History, art, bears, and scenery to die for makes Canada a must-see destination. Expect to experience incredible sunsets in the Banff National Par, or one of the awe-inspiring views from Stanley Park with vistas stretching forever over Vancouver, or the incredible turquoise of Lake Louise which will make you feel as if you have died and gone to Heaven.

See the best of the city from Cape Town hotels

Art galleries, museums, monuments, botanical gardens, biodiversity gardens, urban parks, seascapes, mountains, winelands, upmarket shopping centres, flea markets, organic markets and live music… South Africa’s Mother City has all that and more.

Cape Town hotels are well situated to allow you to choose some or all of these things to do during your holiday, depending on your time and budget. There is a wide selection of contemporary, photographic and commercial art galleries to browse through and you could even choose some wonderful investment pieces to suit your office or home.

At one end of the Company’s Garden, Cape Town hotel guests can wander into the South African Museum to see collections of fossils that are almost 700-million years old and stone tools made by people 120 000 years ago. But not everything is ancient. Modern displays include ‘T-shirts printed yesterday’ and ‘insects and fish’ caught last week.

The Museum was founded in 1825 and is one of the city’s many treasures. Within the landscaped Garden, Cape Town hotel guests can indulge in more of its attractions – the cute little squirrels that live there provide hours of entertainment if you have time to dawdle and even feed them.

The nearest beach is a 10-minute drive to Sea Point where people love to walk along the promenade, taking in the invigorating air of the Atlantic Ocean. Cape Town hotels vie for prime positions along the V&A Waterfront, built next to the working harbour, and boast magnificent views out to sea to Robben Island and inland towards the world-famous Table Mountain. You can go on short cruises in the harbour, or investigate longer options along the coast towards Camps Bay. There are not many Cape Town hotels in this area, but its one of the trendiest spots in the city.
