- De Solomon Eilanden | Voyages & Journeys
Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - Unieke Avonturen - Solomon De Solomon Eilanden Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. - John F. Kennedy - De Stille Zuidzee is een paradijs op zich, de lagunes en kustlijnen van de westelijke delen van de Solomons behoren tot de mooiste van de Stille Oceaan. De Solomons bestaan uit bijna duizend eilanden, verspreid over 28.490 vierkante kilometer oceaan. Ze zijn vernoemd naar koning Solomon door een 16e-eeuwse Spaanse avonturier die op jacht was naar gouden legendes. De kleinere eilanden van de archipel zijn atollen die hoger liggen dan de koraalriffen, omgeven door absurd mooie turquoise zeeën. De grotere zijn bergachtig, vulkanisch, zoals de hoogste berg op Guadalcanal, een top van 2331m die in wolken gehuld gaat. Hun interieurs wemelen van tropische vegetatie. Hun oevers zijn palmbossen en mangroven en lege witte stranden die hier en daar worden onderbroken door eenvoudige dorpjes met bladhuizen. Op een klein eilandje is de Vonavona-lagune de laatste rustplaats voor de schedels van talloze overwonnen stamstrijders, evenals een heiligdom voor de schedels van Rendovan-opperhoofden. Dit eiland staat ook wel bekend als schedeleiland en dateert uit de jaren 1920. De schedelhuizen zijn een kleine, driehoekige kist waarin ook de kostbaarheden van de clamshell-ring van de chef zijn opgeslagen. De archipel staat bekend als een van de beste duikbestemmingen ter wereld. Daal af naar de glorieuze riffen waar legioenen spectaculaire vissen en mantaroggen uit het niets opduiken. Duik naar de tweeling tunnels, twee tunnels gevormd door lava die verticaal naar beneden vallen van 12 meter naar 35 meter en eindigen in een onderwatergrot. Terwijl je afdaalt, word je omringd door een overvloed aan oceaanleven en koraal. Het onderwaterrijk rond de Solomons eilanden zou een van de rijkste zeeleven ter wereld bevatten. Het niveau van biodiversiteit en endemiciteit op de Solomons eilanden wordt erkend als wereldwijd uitstekend. De archipel maakt deel uit van een regio die wordt beschouwd als een van de meest geografische complexen ter wereld en bevindt zich in een zeer actief tektonisch gebied. De Salomonseilanden zijn rijk aan cultuur en staan bekend om hun rustige manier van leven. De perfecte manier om deze archipel te verkennen is per jacht met V&J Yacht Quest, waarmee u de tijd aan wal perfect kunt combineren met de uitzonderlijke eilanden en de bewoonde atollen die omringd worden door prachtige duiklocaties.

Legend has it that this gift was given to an ancestor who caught and then freed a spirit. Watch the sun slip below the horizon from the solitude of a deserted beach as you feel the warm sand beneath your feet while you make your way for a refreshing dip in the blue waters of the sea or the famous blue lagoon. As the fires are lit to cook a traditional Fijian communal lovo in the ground and dine beneath the stars. Experience the isolated delight of Fiji on an unforgettable journey.

- Alexander Archipel | Voyages & Journeys
Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - Unieke Avonturen - Alexander Archipel Alexander Archipel In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. - John Muir - Deze zeer onbekende 480 km lange archipel in Noord-Amerika, ligt voor de zuidoostkust van Alaska. Het bevat meer dan 1.000 eilanden, de toppen van verzonken kustbergen die steil oprijzen uit de Stille Oceaan. Diepe kanalen en fjorden scheiden de eilanden en snijden ze af van het vasteland. Dit gehele archipel is bedekt met adembenemende landschappen en buitengewone dieren in het wild. Laat tijdens het varen van deze waterwegen de omgeving op je in. Ga het bos in op zoek naar de bruine beren en zie bultruggen en orka's tegen een achtergrond van gletsjers en ijsbergen. Vaar langs de beroemde Inside Passage en bevind je in het midden van de ruige, altijd groen begroeide eilanden van de Alexander Archipel. Door smalle fjorden, verwonder je over enorme gletsjers. Deze reis geeft een intieme kijk op het echte Alaska. Ontdek de inheemse cultuur van Alaska in Ketchikan, bekend om zijn vele inheemse Amerikaanse totempalen, maar ook de thuisbasis van de Misty Fiords, een door gletsjers uitgehouwen wildernis met sneeuw bedekte bergen en prachtige watervallen. Stap in een watervliegtuig en ga op weg om de rijke fauna van het eiland Revillagigedo te ervaren, waaronder zwarte beren, wolven en Amerikaanse zeearenden. Na een dag vol avontuur keert u terug naar uw schip waar een feestelijk diner wacht. Speel bij de eerste gelegenheid een rondje golf op de enige golfbaan van Alaska in Wrangell. Het is een baan met negen holes, maar je kunt 18 holes spelen door een tweede ronde te doen. Word wakker in een natuurlijke showcase van Alaska's dieren in het wild, door de Straat van Chatham en arriveer op Baranof Island, het is zeer mogelijk om beren, Amerikaanse zeearenden, bultruggen, elanden, zeeleeuwen en nog veel meer te zien. Trek erop uit om het nationale historische park Sitka te verkennen - dit park bevat de ruïnes van een Indiaas fort waarin de Tlingit-indianen in 1804 hun laatste standpunt innamen tegen Russische kolonisten. Een van de grootste en oudste beschermde natuurgebieden van Alaska is Glacier Bay National Park. Compleet ontworpen door de natuur voor een fascinerende kijkervaring, stap in de helikopter aan boord en ga picknicken op een grote ijsberg waar je een prachtig uitzicht hebt over de hele gletsjer terwijl je geniet van je glas wijn kun je de rivieren van gesmolten gletsjerijs bewonderen die vlak onder het oppervlak doorstromen. Ga 's middags voor anker en warm op bij een kampvuur op het afgelegen strand terwijl het diner wordt bereid. Navigeer door een spectaculaire Tracy Arm Fjord, een smalle fjord die is uitgehouwen door gletsjers die meer dan 50 kilometer lang is. Spectaculaire watervallen die langs granieten muren naar beneden storten en 1000 meter boven de zeespiegel uittorenen. De sawyer-gletsjers aan het einde van Tracy Arm zijn de meest dramatische in Alaska. Dieren in het wild in deze wereld van blauw ijs omvatten zwarte en bruine beren, wolven, herten en elanden. Ga opzoek in de fjorden naar zeehonden en walvissen, Amerikaanse zeearenden die boven het hoofd zweven. Als je bijna het laatste deel van de reis nadert, reizen we af naar de enorme Mendenhall-gletsjer in het Tongass National Forest. Ga op pad en wandel over de omliggende paden om van dichtbij te komen en ontdek het enorme netwerk van azuurblauwe ijsgrotten wat de Mendenhall-gletsjer zo uniek en speciaal maakt. De dansende ombre van blues door het ijs, van aqua tot saffier tot kobalt, zal je betoveren met haar magische gloed. Als eindbestemming lopen we vanuit Juneau de haven binnen. Deze reis is expliciet ontworpen om per jacht uit te voeren, zoals La Datcha of Yersin. Het is ook mogelijk om deze reisroute te combineren met ons andere avontuur in Alaska.

- Peru | Voyages & Journeys
Home - Unique Adventures - Peru Peru Few romances can ever surpass that of the granite citadel on top of the beetling precipices of Machu Picchu, the crown of Inca Land. - Hiram Bingham - Like no other place in the world, this remarkable South American country is endowed with archaeological and cultural riches, and complete with natural wonders in every form imaginable. Peru is truly a treat for the eyes, ears, and taste buds. From ancient Incan remnants, arid desert, striking Andean peaks, thriving jungle and immense lakes, Peru is an astonishing country of contrasts. The Peruvian fusions and the tang of a pisco sour. Its beguiling mix of natural beauty and ancient Incan culture is, indeed, irresistible. Explore Machu Picchu and the sunrise at the Sun Gate. Trace the shores of Lake Titicaca from a luxury train. Step out from your suite in an ancient palace and into the buzz of Cusco. From the bustle of Lima to the rugged beauty of the Colca Valley. The Peruvian part of the Amazon is the most important and most beautiful part of the entire Amazon. Peru offers explorers the most direct and accessible path to the heart of the Amazon via great splendour. Iquitos in north-eastern Peru, where the Aria Amazon River starts, is just a two hour flight from the capital and international air hub of Lima and the archaeological treasure trove of Cusco. Surrounding Iquitos is lush Amazon territory - a region comprising the headwaters of the Amazon River and the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve. Here the upriver Amazon waters are low in sediment and rich in aquatic life, coupled with an astonishing concentration of wildlife on land. To reap the most rewards out of the Peruvian Amazon, you will be joined by experienced naturalist guide. A keen eye and mountains of experience are needed to navigate challenging terrain and help you to spot wildlife in an environment designed by Mother Nature to conceal them. As a lesser human presence often leads to more up-close wildlife sightings. Best Time to Go: April to October Let's start your Adventure
- Heli-Ski & Ski Touring | Voyages & Journeys
Home - Explore - Heli-Ski & Ski Touring The most epic Heli-Ski & Ski Touring around the World When you get to ski a perfect line down the mountain, it feels like when you weightless in warm water, like you are flying, it’s a mystical experience, and that’s why we do it! - Angel Collison - From Alaska’s peaks to the landscapes of Patagonia, or Greenland’s glaciers, or even Japan and New Zealand. Heliskiing and ski touring allows access to some of our planet’s most remote slopes. “The excitement of being dropped on a snowy plateau by helicopter or reaching the top by touring; there and then, standing central in pristine silence to descend through the freshest powder it’s an experience hard to beat.” - Jasper Sigon Backcountry touring and heli skiing are truly the ultimate winter experience. Imagine standing on the top of a summit or a snowy plateau. You look down, you adjust your equipment one last time, then head down the slope, making a first descent of untouched deep powder snow. For ski enthusiasts just like our Co-Founder Jasper Sigon there is really no better way to enjoy this beautiful activity than with untouched terrain. It is that simple, heli-skiing and ski touring offers better snow, challenging topography, and throws in the thrills and breathtaking views of repeated helicopter rides or while touring up. At Voyages & Journeys, we provide the most epic heli skiing and ski touring experiences, itineraries that surpasses your highest expectations. Those that are unique, incomparable, and extraordinary. They will take you from summit to sea, from valley to fjord, to some of the best and most extreme skiing destinations around the world. Joined by highly skilled UIAGM / IFMGA qualified mountain guides you are ensured that you have the best possible heliskiing or ski touring experience. They will take you to the best backcountry huts and show you their favorite hidden powder stashes. We will provide you with morning safety briefings and ensure every detail during your vacation goes smoothly along with all logistical services required. From snow camping in an expedition tent to posting up in luxurious off-the-grid lodges. With us you can go as hardcore or luxe as you want. These multi-day ski experiences are perfect for everyone from backcountry newbies to more experienced ski mountaineers we make sure your time goes beyond expectations. We understand the powder-hungry skier that is in search of the unbeaten track and the unexpected twists that come with it better than most. We offer the most unique locations in the world combined with the ultimate ski experiences, from remote runs under the midnight sun to being flown to untouched peaks. British Columbia is widely regarded as the Mecca of heli skiing in North America, if you really want to experience those 30 meters of powder that falls yearly, it is absolutely the place to get it done. When you are looking for the gold standard in Europe, Zermatt is one of Switzerland’s most renowned mountain resorts, taking a chopper ride past the most beautiful peak in the Swiss Alps, the famed Matterhorn, Air Zermatt offers five different slopes for you to ride down. Without a doubt, Iceland offers some of the most mind blowing heliskiing on the planet, and if you want to ski here this is a destination that it is well worth committing to a multi-day package. Descent from remote flat-topped summits looking out across the North Atlantic down huge snowfields all the way to that same ocean; there are very few places on Earth where you can do this. Or head to a secret land in the far north where the skiing is epic, and the adventures are just a bit different. It is a place where jagged peaks rise out of shimmering seas like snow-white shark’s teeth. Where intrepid skiers land on black-sand beaches and ski tour to serene summits. The Lyngen fjord is located inside Norway's Arctic Circle where you will experience a perfect combination of nature and luxury. Watching the Northern Lights, unravel above you, you are assured to see nature at its absolute best. But we notice that we are all quick to jump to the Northern Hemisphere for a spot of heli-assisted adventure or an epic ski touring escape, without knowing how much the Southern hemisphere has to offer. The Andes Mountain range that straddles the border of Chile and Argentina. Giving thrill-seekers an alternating season to the top half of the globe, Chile is renowned for its perfect balance of touring terrain and some of the Southern Hemisphere’s healthiest snowfall depths. The famous Chugach range in Alaska has 750000 acres permitted for heli-ski operators, only a handful of groups of five people are allowed to ski it daily. That means fresh, unbroken powder on just about every run and a more exclusive skiing experience. The Chugach Mountains receive an annual average of nearly 700 inches of snow and has a reputation for iconic big lines. Russia likely wouldn’t usually spring to mind as the type of place you would like to go skiing but the wilderness of the former Soviet Union’s Far East is overlooked when it comes to heli-skiing. The end-of-the-earth, Kamchatka Peninsula, is located between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea is home to the greatest concentration of active volcanoes anywhere on the planet. Along with the raw, breathtaking scenery, Kamchatka’s mountainous region is covered in delicious white powder during the winter, making it a perfect heli-skiing destination for those who want to shred snow that’s never been shredded before. Thinking about Turkey, skiing isn’t necessarily the first activity that comes to mind. Which makes the Kaçkar mountain range a well-guarded secret. Located in the north-eastern reaches of Turkey, the mountains are harried by frequent storms blowing off the Black Sea, which result in amazingly fresh, deep snow. The highest point is 3937 meters, which is a hell of a descent. Japan’s north, Hokkaido’s huge mountainous expanse experiences up to 30 metres of super high-quality snow during the peak of the season, making it your dreamland for heli-skiing. Surrounded by dormant volcanoes and skeleton forests covered in white snow. Head to the top of the 1100-meter Shiribetsu-Dake volcano. But be warned, this one is not for amateurs, with the average run over 650 meters long and encountering some steep sections with wicked curves. Japan is known for having too much snow, meaning bluebirds are rare. Choose wisely. Head even more south for the stunning views of the 17 mountain ranges of New Zealand’s Southern Alps that provides a stunning 8288 square kilometers of epic skiing terrain, with typical runs landing between 600 and 1000 meters with over 800 diverse runs and endless fresh lines combined with a gourmet picnic on the mountain and access to the highest terrain at 2585 meters, there definetely will not be any shortage of untouched snow. A little bit further, 65°S, you will find the 7th continent, Antarctica. It remains the only unspoiled continent on our planet. Almost entirely covered in a permanent ice cap that reaches as much as 4776 meters. The Antarctic peninsula is highly mountainous, its highest peaks rising to about 2800 meters. Notable peaks on the peninsula include Mount Castro, Mount Coman, Mount Gilbert and Mount Jackson, which is the highest point at 3184 meters above sea level. Experience wilderness of extraordinary beauty and magnificent rawness, where the mountains offer endless options for heli-skiing including the potential for first ascents and descents.

- Destinos de Esqui | Voyages & Journeys
Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Explore - Destinos de Esqui Ski destinations The most exceptional snow conditions and slopes We are always in the hunt for new and exciting ways to experience the most extraordinary and remote places on earth. There is that moment in the fall that many of us are already looking forward to the yearly skiing vacation with family and friends. We have put together a list of our favourite ski destinations around the world that offer exceptional ski experiences. This list was created from our own experiences and looking at every detail that makes the ultimate ski vacation. We work together with ski guides and heli pilots that choose the best spots for your activities based on field observations and snow pit data. We will tailor your experience, dropping you at the best runs for your level. All you need to do is show up ready for an adventure, and we will handle the rest. Andes, Chile Best time: early October to late November Heading for the mighty Chilean Andes. Famous for exceptionally dry snow, plenty of sunshine and awe-inspiring terrain; Chile has some of the best skiing and heli-skiing in the southern hemisphere. Within a short distance of Santiago, the mighty Andes rise to heights of over 6000 metres above sea level and boast some of the most incredible terrain and snow conditions in South America. Fly through a primeval landscape punctuated by ancient glaciers and snow-capped peaks to find the line of your dreams. Ambitious skiers looking to push their comfort zones will meet their match while those looking for some easier turns will have plenty of options to choose from as well. The alpine ski terrain offers an exciting assortment of open bowls, steep couloirs, and mellow glacier runs. Aspen, Colorado (USA) Best time: December to February In the rarefied air and fresh fallen snow, high up in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains lies Aspen, America’s best skiing. Aspen provides the travellers a world-class mountain slope that caters to all levels of skiers and riders. From downtown Aspen, Colorado, guests to the Roaring Fork Valley can experience four mountains within minutes of one another. The wonderfully Victorian throwback architecture in downtown Aspen offers a glimpse into the Elk Mountains' storied mining-boom era. Expert skiing is what Aspen Mountain, or "Ajax Mountain" and Aspen Highlands are known for. There is no better place for top-to-bottom runs thanks to Ajax’ Silver Queen Gondola’s almost 1-kilometre vertical ascent. Aspen Mountain is famous for its long, steep mogul runs and challenging fall-line. Those with a spirit of adventure can also get their kicks by hiking the 700 vertical feet to the top of famed Aspen Highland Bowl. You will be rewarded at the Bowl’s summit with one Aspen Snowmass’ best views and an unparalleled off-piste experience. British Columbia, Canada Best time: December to February Located on the rugged west coast of Canada, lies one of the most sought-after ski destinations in the world, Whistler, a true alpine paradise. Being the largest ski region in all of North America, it’s practically impossible to get bored on these twin mountains, which are connected by the world’s largest, tallest gondola. Both contain steep, powder-filled chutes and bowls, perfectly spaced tree-runs, big wide-open groomers, terrain parks for every level, and just about everything else you could want. For those who really want to get away from the crowds, though, Whistler offers heli-skiing, where you and a few friends can blast down long, untouched slopes of every ability level. Chamonix, France Best time: January to March At the foot of Mont Blanc, Chamonix’s one of the oldest and most prestigious resorts in France and hosted the first ever Winter Olympics in 1924. The 150km area is relatively small compared to others in the country, but its range of challenging terrain and red and black runs is unbeatable for experienced skiers. The ultimate must-do is the 20km Vallée Blanche, one of the most famous off-piste routes in the world. If you’re more of an intermediate, explore the blues around Le Tour, Les Houches and Brévent-Flégère. Legendary Chamonix should be on any ski or snowboard bucket list. Chamonix has an allure for the hard core & adventurous, with world renowned off-piste skiing and freeriding. Some of the lines are so challenging that one may need to wear a diaper (or nappy, incontinence pad) to avoid embarrassment! The area is dominated by the highest mountain in Western Europe, 4810m Mont Blanc. It serves as a playground for extreme sports enthusiasts and the ooh aah brigade. Between ice climbing, paragliding and extreme skiing, it is not surprising that Chamonix has been described as the "the death-sport capital of the world"! One must only view the engineering for the amazing Aiguille du Midi cable cars in order to comprehend those parts of Chamonix are on the edge. Courchevel, France Best time: mid-December to February Have access to the largest ski area in the world. Courchevel is one the most glamorous ski areas in Les Trois Vallées, with a lift system linking to Meribel and Val Thorens, guests can enjoy access to one of the most exciting and extensive ski areas in the world, truly a destination for the ski enthusiasts. The freshly groomed slopes, breathtaking views across to Mount Blanc, guaranteed snow and terrain that caters for skiing or boarding abilities all mount up to why this is the jewel of alpine skiing. If you have a passion for memorable dining experiences, then rejoice! Courchevel is almost as world-famous for its epicurean delicacies as it is for its pristine slopes. It offers a multitude of family-friendly fun, including learning to ski, snowboarding and snowshoeing, sledging and night skiing. For a little bit more adventure, why not try a husky dog-sled ride or heliskiing. Denali, Alaska Best time: February to April Alaska offers endless spectacular adventures, one of them being top notch skiing. Holding more than 1 million acres of skiing terrain and with over 15 meters of light snow each winter season, Alaska offers some of the most exciting winter activities. From heli skiing and boarding, to snowshoeing and ice fishing. The endless terrain and colossal vertical feet paired with expert guides and pilots make heli skiing in Alaska unparalleled. Whether you are an intermediate skier or a world-class carver. The Tordrillo Mountains are one of the most pristine ski areas in Alaska and offer some of the most diverse and exciting skiing, heli-skiing and snowboarding terrain in the world, with over 1.2 million acres of terrain and 15 meters of snow each season. Runs top out at 2290 meters and end at 600 meters with spectacular panoramic views of Denali and volcanic summits. Winter temperatures average -12 to -3 degrees Celsius with powder snow and corn snow. Dolomites, Italy Best time: December to end-March Unique in so many ways, this jagged ridge of 18 limestone peaks stitches together a region vastly independent from the rest of the Alps, like the bohemian branch of a grand old aristocratic family. All this distilled Alpine gorgeousness are the rifugi, traditional cosy mountain huts sprinkled across the valleys, villages, and slopes that act as restaurant and café in one, offering delicious cuisine and the requisite espresso hit between ski runs. The area’s 1207 kilometre of gently sloped terrain, which is often blanketed in dry, powdery snow are protected from the tempestuous northerly storms, chances are you’ll get a cloudless sky (there are 300 glorious sun-flooded days a year here, said to be more than anywhere else in the Alps). The vast Dolomiti Super ski Area has long been a draw for pro skiers and powder-hunting freerides, with heli-skiing options among the craggy peaks of the Sella Ronda. But the South Tyrol area in general is about so much more than skiing. To the east, the pine-covered, craggy Alta Badia valley has an ancient Ladin culture and serious locavore food, from centuries-old agritourism’s to the three-Michelin-starred St Hubertus. Greenland Heli-skiing Best time: late-March to mid-May Greenland is one of the most spectacular places to ski in the world, offering skiing at its purest and most thrilling. Nowhere else can you drop from summit to sea in a single descent. A snow-capped wilderness with deep untracked powder and glacial runs dropping as much as 2000 metres to the fjords below awaits. With a helicopter to lift you from your yacht’s helipad high up into the most heavily glaciated, dramatic mountains imaginable, you can spend a day of sensational skiing, then return to the comfort of your waiting yacht. While the waters off the east of Greenland are dense with sea ice, most heliskiing yacht charters focus on the wild west coast of Greenland. There’s some world-class backcountry skiing around Maniitsoq Island, home to colourful little clapboard villages, pristine rivers, and pods of visiting humpback whales. Maniitsoq Island opens the gates to vast and deep fjords encompassing the most beautiful mountains in the region, including the 100km-long, endlessly forking inlet that is Eternity Fjord, where glacier upon glacier pours down from towering peaks. Here you can ski glaciers, couloirs, vast bowls, and virgin snow that’s never once been skied before. Further north again is Disko Bay, carving the most impressive icebergs of the Northern Hemisphere. This is a magnificent fjords cape and a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering mythic vistas, empty blue skies, and spring snow so light it’s like skiing on a cloud. Iceland (Northern) Best time: February to June When the snow starts melting in Europe you head to Northern Iceland, where the deep and cold snowpack stay well into June, making it perfect for skiing spring powder all the way to sea level. The best skiing in the mountains & fjords across the Atlantic Ocean is made by helicopter, take your alpine experience to another level. Long descents over the North Atlantic Ocean are punctuated by never ending sunsets. Skiing in Iceland is an exceptional experience. Heli-assisted ascents leading to wide, open bowls and limitless terrain ignites new exploration in even the most seasoned of skiers. Long daylight hours allow us to choose the best time of day to ski given the weather and snow conditions. Early season and stormy periods equal powder skiing in a maritime climate, while long sunny days transition the snow into perfect corn skiing. Japan Best time: January & early-February Japan is truly the holy grail for skiers who love to ski deep powder snow and beautiful trees, the snow in Japan is super light, extraordinarily dry and unbelievably fun to ski or ride. No matter if you travel to Hokkaido, Hakuba or Niseko, the mountains are known for frequent snowfall, in addition to the great snow, Japan offers a welcoming and unique culture, a variety of incredible food from incredible sushi to Ramen, and an overall ski vacation experience that you just won’t find anywhere else. The adrenaline junkies won’t think twice when they experience the quality of the snow in Japan. For those looking to take a break from the powder, most resorts also have plenty of groomed runs and night skiing is also very popular. Lyngen Alps, Norway Best time: March & April Imagine standing on the top of a snowy summit in the Lyngen Alps of northern Norway. You look down at the fjord with the sunshine sparkling. You adjust your equipment one last time, then head down the slope, making a first descent of untouched snow that take you from summit to sea. The Lyngen Alps are about 90km long & 20km wide with the highest point being 1,833m above sea level - literally! The range includes glaciers, steep couloirs, gentle bowls & some tree-skiing down low. Summits typically skied in the Lyngen Alps are less than 1200m altitude, with descents going all the way down to sea level. Another of Lyngen Alps geographical benefits is shared with much of the Arctic - its proximity to the stunning phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis. St. Anton & Arlberg, Austria Best time: January to March Located in the heart of one of the snowiest places in Europe, St Anton am Arlberg is a premier ski destination that is difficult for other ski regions to rival. St Anton has vast off-piste terrain plus consistent, deep snowpack and powder. It is particularly popular with expert skiers, but equally enjoyed by families and intermediates. St Anton has something for everyone but is an especially good experience for advanced skiers. Even though there are relatively few black runs on-piste, the off-piste routes & freeride terrain is vast. For extreme riders, the tight chutes near the Valluga summit and other areas will scare the pants off most. The village of St Anton is cosy with a distinct Austrian charm, in contrast to the vibrant St Anton après & party atmosphere. You come for the skiing; you stay for the world-renowned nightlife! St. Moritz, Switzerland Best time: December to March A particular humour, an appreciation of the finer things, but perhaps above all an elegantly madcap eccentricity. This is a place of moonlight ice-skating and Cresta Run sledding; of cricket, polo and skijoring behind galloping horses on the frozen St Moritzersee. Silliness anywhere else, perhaps, but somehow civilised here. There’s nothing more thrilling than seeing St. Moritz’s closest mountain, Corviglia, covered in radiant white powder snow. Corviglia is not only the birthplace of Alpine winter sports, but it is also responsible for the start of winter tourism over 150 years ago. St. Moritz is one of the best winter sports regions in the world, so it’s no surprise that it has already hosted two Winter Olympic Games and five Alpine Ski World Championships. Altogether, the region boasts an incredible 87 pistes that all conform to World Cup quality standards. Experience the difference for yourself. Verbier, Switzerland Best time: end-November to February With its sunny slopes, devastating scenery, exciting skiing and lively après ski, Verbier, Switzerland, is rightly lauded as one of the must-visit resorts in the world. Verbier is the principal resort in Switzerland's extensive 4 Valleys (4 Vallées) ski domain, which stretches from the ski area of Bruson, just south of Verbier, all the way to the slopes of Thyon-Les-Collons above the town of Sion. The vast majority of Verbier's ski area is comprised of high-altitude terrain well above the tree line. This is a serious high-mountain ski area where the focus is on off-piste and freeriding, with many marked routes left ungroomed to preserve the powder lines and to allow mogul fields to develop. Verbier is one of the very few ski resorts in the world to feature a lift-served peak that doesn't have any pisted runs at all; the only routes off the summit of Mont Gele are itineraires, which are way-marked runs that are never groomed. Verbier is not for the fainthearted. Wanaka, New Zealand Best time: August & September With long winters in the mountains, awe-inspiring destinations, and a unique ski culture, New Zealand defiantly deserves a spot on your winter sports bucket list. Experience an unforgettable winter with epic slopes and alpine resorts on your New Zealand ski holiday. A winter wonderland with snow experiences to suit every level of skier or snowboarder. Choose from the snowy peaks of the North Island or the wide-open terrains of the South Island. The mountains surrounding the world-renowned resort towns of Queenstown and Wanaka feature thrilling backcountry terrain and dramatic scenery. Enjoy an unforgettable day of heli-ski or heli-board bliss before savouring the vibrant après ski nightlife each location offers. Zermatt, Switzerland Best time: January & February Zermatt is one of the most beautiful spots in the Alps. At the foot of the country’s iconic Matterhorn Mountain, which soars 4479 meter above sea level in a stunning, pyramid shape. Found in Valais, just six miles from the Theodul Pass, which borders Italy, Zermatt is never short of fresh powder, avid skiers, and views of some of the highest peaks in the country. With 147 different runs. With 54 lifts and 360 km of powder, there’s a little something for skiers of all abilities. Zermatt also offers a wide range of Heli-skiing, you will have a kingdom of snow-capped mountains at your feet, hurtling down the steepest slopes and leaving tracks in the finest powder snow is a feeling you must experience for yourself. Heliskiing in Zermatt makes two dreams come true. RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008
- Ocean Conservation | Voyages & Journeys
Home - Ocean Conservation Ocean Conservation with V&J Healthy oceans regulate climate and reduce climate change impacts The oceans that roam our planet are the most crucial ecosystems we have, every life and every organism on earth depends on it. An estimated 97% of the world’s water is found in the ocean. Because of this, the ocean has considerable impact on weather, temperature, and the food supply of humans and other organisms. Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth, the ocean remains one of the biggest mysteries in the world. More than 80% of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans. A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars has been mapped and studied than of our own ocean floor. Conservation and preservation of our biodiversity stands at the core of our ethos. With every great adventure or family vacation we design and carry out, we make sure local communities and conservation projects benefit from our journeys. With rising sea temperatures and increasing pollution threatening the health of the ocean, there is an urgent need for scientists to access some of the world’s most remote areas. This is where V&J comes in. Through our yacht expeditions segment, we provide a unique opportunity of ocean access, marine research, and global knowledge to enhance the ocean’s prosperity. With the cooperation of the Client, we donate a time frame within the expedition duration to marine scientists and conservation experts to conduct vital research. There are so many exciting ocean conservation initiatives to be actioned upon around the world, besides donating time during a yacht expedition we also take a percentage from our margins and donate that money to ocean conservation projects we support. Sometimes the client even wants to join us in this donation. Below, we listed a few of the ocean conservation projects we support with our donations. Sea Shepherd seashepherd.org Sea Shepherd’s work and impact is, for some, still underestimated. As supporters to their global mission, we see it as part of our initiative to educate the importance of their work they do around the globe. Working under direct supervision, and in complete partnership with governments around the world, Sea Shepherd provides fully equipped vessels, professional crews, fuel, and other tools that enhance their ability to detect and deter Illegal, unreported and unregulated (“IUU”) fishing. In the last five years, they assisted governmental law enforcers as they arrested dozens of vessels, resulting in numerous successful prosecutions. These efforts increased monetary recoveries and reduced subsequent maritime crimes and helped restore fish populations. The Ocean Cleanup theoceancleanup.com Plastic pollution in our oceans is the biggest problem we are facing today. Besides ensuring that waste management is fully optimized during our expeditions we support the biggest ocean clean up in the history of the world. The Ocean Cleanup is a non-profit organization, that develops and uses technologies to get rid of the world’s oceans of plastic. Believe or not trash already accumulates in five ocean garbage patches, the largest one being the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, located between Hawaii and California. Floating plastics trapped in the patches will keep circulating until they break down into smaller and smaller pieces, becoming harder to clean up and increasingly easier to mistake for food by Sealife. If left to circulate, the plastic will impact our ecosystems, health, and economies for decades or even centuries. Mission Blue mission-blue.org Led by legendary oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Mission Blue inspires action to explore and protect our oceans and all marine life. It is their mission to create public awareness, access, and support for a worldwide network of marine protected areas also known as Hope Spots. For example, not that long ago the President of Ecuador, Guillermo Lasso, signed an official decree enhancing the marine protected area (“MPA”) around the Galapagos Archipelago in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. The decree will expand protections by 60.000 square kilometres (23.166 square miles); half of which will be fully protected where no extractive activities are allowed, and the efforts of Mission Blue had a significant impact on this initiative. Under Dr. Earle’s leadership, the Mission Blue team embarks on many communication campaigns, regular oceanic expeditions that shed light on these vital ecosystems and build support for their protection. The Mission Blue alliance includes more than 200 respected ocean conservation groups and like-minded organizations, from large multinational companies to individual scientific teams doing important research. With the concerted effort and passion of people and organizations around the world, Hope Spots can become a reality and form a global network of marine protected areas large enough to restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet. The Great Reef Census greatreefcensus.org Exploring the unknown is part of every adventurer’s DNA, though very rarely is there an opportunity to discover areas where little is already known by superyacht. At Voyages & Journeys we use every opportunity we have during our yacht adventures to support conservation projects around the world. Did you know almost 40% of the Great Barrier Reef remains entirely unexplored. Encompassing 3.000 individual reefs and home to over 1.600 species of fish that stretch for 2.300km along the sun-drenched Queensland coastline, it’s a unique yachting experience. Due to its sheer size measuring the overall state of the Reef is difficult. The Great Reef Census is a world-first citizen science project. For ocean conservation, this is a pioneering initiative, aiming to capture investigative data. This is a unique opportunity for superyacht owners and charters to participate in ocean conservation efforts as part of your yacht expedition, you can join marine scientists and gain a deeper insight into the Great Barrier Reef’s diverse ecosystem. We pride our partnership with Ocean Alliance, where we can create a significant impact and provide support to marine research projects. Superyachts and especially exploration yachts provide highly advanced research capabilities, that make it able to tackle the conservation challenges we face and work towards the vital protection of our blue planet.

EN PT NL SPACE ADVENTURES SKY IS NOT OUR LIMIT ANYMORE LET'S REIMANIGE THE THRILL OF SPACE EXPLORATION Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand. - Neil Armstrong - A journey to space truly transforms anyone’s perspective towards our beautiful blue planet. It can also allow us to explore new ways to solve current challenges on Earth. When 4 non-professional, all-civilians crew, also known as INSPIRA TION 4 , were launched in the Dragon capsule from SpaceX, they orbited around the Earth with an altitude of 575 kilometres (357 miles), about 160 kilometres (100 miles) higher than the ISS. The orbit is even slightly higher than the location of the Hubble Space Telescope, which was last visited by a crew mission with the Space Shuttle in 2009. The Inspiration 4 mission opened the door for civilian space travel, and Voyages & Journeys is there to guide you through all the steps in becoming an astronaut. During the training process, V&J will act as your personal mission management company taking care of all the planning, training, comms, and administration. We work closely with our guests to make the journey simple, and together with the launch providers we ensure smooth management. We see it as our own mission to have people and our planet benefiting from space travel as much as possible, and we see it as our responsibility to find ways to make these processes as simple and as cost-effective as possible. With the progress of global spaceflight and our knowledge about the developments in the space industry and rideshare communities, we are able to provide neutral advice to individuals, governmental institutions, education programs and commercial organisations with the goal to improve our way of life on Earth, the updated technological advancements of space travel. One of the most inspirational projects that we are proud to be part of is the Space Company Space Perspective. They really launched a new era in luxury and experiential travel. An experience that reimagines the thrill of space exploration with the world’s most radically gentle voyage to space. Space Explorers and travel adventurers looking to upgrade their bucket list can now savour a unique 360-degree view of our beautiful planet from 20 miles (30 km) above. Step aboard the Spaceship Neptune propelled by a state-of-the-art space balloon the size of a football stadium. You will enjoy this sensational experience from the latest comfort and the best reclining seats to soak in the 450-mile, 360-degree view. A six-hour journey of constant changing of dazzling views - an open call on dress, champagne and cocktails with epic onboard entertainment organised by the King of Miami, David Grutman. And, believe or not, there is also a bathroom onboard. Become a Space Explorer and be part of history. Ascend from the launch pad at the iconic Kennedy Space Centre in Florida to soar above 99% of Earth's atmosphere in an awe- inspiring, two-hour journey of our planet's biosphere, from inside the comfortable capsule of Spaceship Neptune, with its vast viewing windows. Unlike the physically gruelling and eye wateringly expensive space rockets, there’s minimal preparation and no physical demands for guests. Spaceship Neptune rewrites the engineering playbook, as it doesn’t use rocket propulsion nor engender g-force acceleration. Experience a profoundly different perspective that is the most visceral reminder of how interconnected we are, not just with each other, but with all living organisms - boundaries and differences disappear. It’s a powerful, moving, and expansive perspective that enlightens the human consciousness, the quintessential astronaut experience. Our atmosphere stretches for hundreds of miles into space. The perspective of looking down through atmospheric layers, framed by the thin blue line is - according to most astronauts who have experienced it - profoundly life-changing. This unique approach to space travel is also mindful of the environment, including zero-emission spaceflights that addresses the increased demand for more sustainable travel and experiences for both the affluent and those seeking to invest in a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Ocean Bottle Ocean Bottle and Voyages & Journeys August-2022 Sadly, plastic is polluting our global oceans at an incredible pace. Conservation and preservation of our global ecosystems stands at the core of our ethos and with Voyages & Journeys you explore with purpose - through our unique adventures we are able to support conservation projects around the globe. Everyone, every being, deserves a clean and healthy environment. We are super excited to announce our partnership with Ocean Bottle, a company that makes a real impact on the state of our oceans. Each bottle funds the collection of 11.4kg of plastic, the equivalent to 1000 plastic bottles, and stops them from ever entering our blue world. We are always looking for new ways to create more awareness for conservation and preservation. Once that we are so aligned with the mission to save the oceans, and concern about the critical impact that plastic is having on every form of life, we have decided to partner-up with the Ocean Bottle to support their long-term solution to the plastic crisis. Every traveller that travels with V&J will receive a customised V&J Ocean Bottle, so before you even kick off your next adventure you are already making a crucial impact. The bottle itself is part stainless steel and part ocean-bound recycled plastic, it has been created to last a lifetime, it is easily recyclable and never compromises on impact. How does it work? Plastic Collectors (locals around the globe) collect plastic from river systems and along the coastlines before it enters the ocean. The collected plastic goes to collection points where it can be exchanged by financial support. These collection points support the Collectors to get access to social recourses, such as health care, tuition, or financial advice. The collected plastic will be upcycled or co-processed sustainably into new products, such as the Ocean Bottle. It is such a privilege to see our V&J Ocean Bottles during your journeys and adventures. Thank you and make sure that you share a picture of your bottle – do not forget to tag #TheOceanBottle or @oceanbottle and us on your social media to raise as much awareness as possible. < Previous Article Next Article > RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008
