Skie,ski,kayak,the skiing

La Grave and the massif of La Meije offer the biggest lift-accessed off piste skiing in the world! Not only that but it is one of the few massifs which has an incredible 2150m 2300m of (7050ft) vertical drop. This off-piste mountain range can provide exhilarating skiing terrain for the advanced skier, snowboarder and tele-marker. The Skiers Lodge is perfectly positioned within only 3 minutes walk to the lift! This lift ascends from the village at 1400m to stations at 1800m, 2400m, 3200m, and finally to Dome de la Lauze, “the Glacier”, at 3550m. A typical ski descent offers limitless variety from tame to steep terrain commencing on this glacier, proceeding down spectacular open bowls, winding its way through small chutes, crossing glacial moraines into seemingly endless steeps and deeps in the serenity of the forest. Legendary descents from the Girose glacier, with direct lines of 2300m explain why so many riders come back year after year to enjoy free-riding with one of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the Alps. FMGA Mountain Guide Pelle Lang, the founder of Skiers Lodge, has come across this spectacular mountain village during his search for big mountain skiing. His dream was to create a lodge owned and operated by skiers for skiers. In 1989 this dream becomes a reality. "Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen for each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings."he Skiers Lodge Guide Service, for which Pelle works daily as the chief guide, represents the ski part of the concept. The ambition is to create a good chemistry between guides and skiers. Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings. La Grave, de la Meije is not a ski resort. Ski resorts adapt to skiers whereas here the skier must adapt to the mountain. This is best achieved by the guidance received from the experienced guides within the Guide Service allowing the client to enter terrain otherwise inaccessible to him/her in a safe manner. All guests are given safety equipment which they are trained to use. Groups are limited to 5 persons ensuring a good level of safety and allowing for different skiing pace. All guides are qualified by the IFMGA and speak English, French, German and Swedish. In close proximity to La Grave there are many resorts with their own micro climates and our guide team may propose one of numerous possible day trips all within an hour’s drive.

The Skiers Lodge Guide Service is willing to show riders what it considered to be the best lift access free riding in the world. All it takes is a spirit of adventure for you to share in the ultimate riding experience. A revolution in attitude, style and equipment is making the sports of skiing and snowboarding better than ever.When international ski manufacturers launched their new breed of Extreme Skis, La Grave was the chosen spot. A combination of its long ski runs, its varied terrain and its untouched and unspoiled routes, has given birth to a freedom a freedom to create and shape exciting new styles, attitudes and equipment. Local riders long ago adopted a Free Rider attitude. This means taking responsibility for ones actions on the mountain. As the world of skiing and snowboarding pushes the limits of equipment, the industry pops out more modern equipment with a design and understanding of the 21st century rider. It is now easier than ever to float in the deepest powder, to hold an edge on the steepest terrain and to leave pencil-like tracks of a groomed snow surface

Today`s city was established in 1558, when on the island Dolgui (Long) a wooden fortress was built. Later there appeared a stone kremlin with the walls of 1,5 km long, 11 m high and 5 m large at the base. Near the kremlin a white-stone city was founded.
Under Peter the Great Astrakhan became the centre of the province of Astrakhan. Peter initiated the creation of the navy for the Caspian Sea, and in 1722 the tsar arrived in Astrakhan to head the campaign for capturing the west coast of the Caspian Sea. In the middle of the 17th c.and in the early 18th c. industry and navigation developed in the city.
Now Astrakhan is a major industrial and transport centre.
12 km to the north of the modern city stretches the hill called “Shareny hillock”. It was the site of the Old Astrakhan known as Khadji Tarkhan. In 1395 the site was assaulted by Timur`s troops and destroyed completely. In the middle of the 15th c. the city was reconstructed and became the capital of Astrakhan khanate. In 1556 the region was easily taken by Ivan`s troops and in 1558 a city was founded on the new site where it stands actually.

Frankfurt Vacations, Travel to Germany, Best Destination of Frankfurt, Frankfurt's Famaous Museums, Travel to Frankfurt

Frankfurt is the largest city in the German also known as Mainhattan and Bankfurt, state in central Germany. Located on the river Main. It is a 2000-year-old city. The majority of Frankfurt has been built since World War II, when bombings destroyed the city. More than 150 years ago the city was the centre of the German parliamentary movement of 1848. Frankurt is one of the best industrial metropolis, Germany's fifth-largest city and Goethe's hometown. Frankurt is known with many museums, among them a world-class opera and theatres the first-class "English Theatre", and a world-class opera. Reaching and leaving Frankfurt is easy. Frankurt has excellent connectivity between railways, airlines and highways. It is the national transportation hub.
The weather in Frankurt is not very strange; like for very hot summer days around 35 degrees as well as for light rain. The winters can be cold and rainy but there is hardly any snow inside Frankfurt itself.
Frankfurt is home to many museums, theatres (among them the first-class "English Theatre"), and a world-class opera. You have several cultural activities. There are various fireworks displays throughout the year. Frankfurt can have quite beautiful sunsets. Caused by the air pollution gathered in the valley it is situated in, they are a good photo opportunity, especially with Frankfurt's skyline. Good avantage points are the bridges, or of course the Maintower high-rise.
If you have more time to spend, Frankfurt is a perfect starting point for daytrips up the Rhine river towards Rudesheim or Heidelberg and only a 30 minutes train trip away from Wiesbaden, Mainz or Marburg.
