V&J bundelt de krachten met duurzaam flessenbedrijf. Met kleine acties kunnen we een enorme impact creëren. Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - De Numinous - Ocean Bottle Ocean Bottle en Voyages & Journeys Augustus-2022 Helaas vervuilt plastic onze wereldwijde oceanen in een ongelooflijk tempo, het behouden en beschermen van onze wereldwijde ecosystemen vormt de kern van ons ethos. Zoals je weet, verken je met Voyages & Journeys doelbewust, en door onze unieke avonturen kunnen we natuurbeschermingsprojecten over de hele wereld ondersteunen. Omdat iedereen recht heeft op een schoon en gezond milieu. We zijn zo verheugd om onze samenwerking met Ocean Bottle aan te kondigen, een bedrijf dat een van de eerste echte oceaan impact oplossingen aanbiedt die direct beschikbaar is. Elke fles financiert de inzameling van 11,4 kg plastic of 1000 plastic flessen en voorkomt dat ze ooit onze blauwe wereld binnenkomen. Zoals jullie van V&J gewend zijn, zijn wij altijd op zoek naar nieuwe manieren om meer bewustzijn te creëren voor behoud en conservatie van onze ecosystemen. Vanwege de wederzijdse zorg en begrip die we met Ocean bottle hebben over de cruciale impact die plastic heeft op al het leven in onze oceanen. Hebben we besloten om samen te werken met Ocean bottle om hun circulaire oplossing op lange termijn voor de plasticcrisis te ondersteunen. Dit betekent dat elke reiziger die met V&J reist een op maat gemaakte V&J Ocean Bottle ontvangt, dus voordat je aan je volgende avontuur begint, maak je al een cruciale impact. De fles zelf is deels roestvrij staal en deels oceaan gebonden gerecycled plastic, het is gemaakt om een leven lang mee te gaan, het is gemakkelijk recyclebaar en maakt direct een positieve impact op het behoud van onze natuur. Hoe werkt het? Plasticverzamelaars (lokale bewoners over de hele wereld) verzamelen plastic uit riviersystemen en langs de kustlijnen voordat het in de oceaan terechtkomt. Met het ingezamelde plastic gaan ze naar inzamelpunten waar ze de mogelijkheid hebben om hun plastic in te ruilen voor financiële steun, deze inzamelpunten ondersteunen hen om toegang te krijgen tot sociale voorzieningen zoals gezondheidszorg, collegegeld of financieel advies. Het ingezamelde plastic wordt op een duurzame manier ge-upcycled of mede verwerkt tot nieuwe producten, zoals de Ocean Bottle. Het is altijd zo special om onze V&J Ocean Bottles te zien tijdens jullie reizen en avonturen. Zorg ervoor dat je een foto van je fles deelt en vergeet niet #TheOceanBottle of @oceanbottle en ons natuurlijk te taggen op je sociale media en help ons om zoveel mogelijk bewustzijn te creëren. < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel >

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Travelling Responsible Travelling Responsible January-2020 We put together 10 important guidelines for being a responsible experiential travel and making attentive choices in every aspect of your own adventure. Responsible travel can be achieved by being responsible and making the correct choices. Learning to travel mindful and more responsibly will reduce our direct impact on the environment and ecological diversities. We truly believe that, as travel specialists, we have an increased responsibility to communicate to our consumers how to implement responsible practices. Our vacations, adventures and expeditions are hand-crafted by us taking in consideration good practices and giving great opportunities to learn, develop and thrust frontiers of responsible travel experiences. In Jasper Sigon’s own words when it comes to his adventures, “For me personal, my journey starts with the goal of integrate myself into new cultures and traditions or learning a new skill set.” It should not be crossing a checklist, but instead focus on the experience, strive to educate yourself and become well informed and create a responsibility for wildlife, ecological conservations and cultures of our beautiful planet and at the end pass it to the others - that’s the ultimate goal. Therefore, we have put together the following guidelines to see how we create a positive impact on responsible travel as new or experienced adventures. Research travel organizations that pursue responsible travel as a core value We try to implement responsible practices to our journeys and adventures, considering the emissions caused by flights, vehicles, marine voyages and accommodation stays. We try to reduce and optimize at the source, calculating our footprint and supporting habitat conservation and restoration projects around the world. Plan Responsible Journeys Avoid mass tourism destinations that are highly frequently visited. This is the first purposeful decision to make in your journeys towards a responsible travel. We always research destinations that most of the times are “below the radar”, and maybe even closure to home than you can possibly think, enabling us to travel to remote parts of the planet with a reduced impact on ecological diversities. Extend your travelling Extending your journey provides the opportunity to involve yourself in a destination’s culture and traditions. This creates a connection with the place you are visiting, rather spending your time in short periods in multiple destinations. Create a feeling that you belong somewhere just as home. Travel a bit slower A concept we indulge is an elegant and tender journey through a country or a region that allows you to interact with its culture and lets you understand your surroundings. The increase for environmentally friendly transport makes it easier than ever to travel a bit slower, for example by train or boat by an extraordinary network of historical tracks and rivers, specially through Europe. Smart packing Reducing the consumption of plastic goods is already a huge step, but by packing your luggage with only your necessary for your journey you are able to reduce your waste, try to use reusables such as the reusable water bottles that you can refill throughout your journey. Eco-valuable accommodations When we are planning a journey, we perform an extensive research to the properties and accommodations we provide, we pay attention to their location and how they contribute to their local communities. Another part we do in supporting the local community, is introducing our clients to the local chefs that transform their local products in culinary highlights. Unique Excursions that support the local economy We strive to make sure we work together with local specialists and companies that contribute to the local economy. From our experience this is also the best way to provide an understanding and appreciation of the region and landscapes you are visiting, alongside those that know their surroundings the best. Support local charities Combining our journeys with the support to local charities is the ultimate way to learn about the challenges faced by the local populations. By helping them to overcome these challenges is one of the most impactful things we can do during a journey. By dedicating a bit of our time and expertise together with local organisations we can put the focus even more on conservation and environmental protection, teaching and discussing awareness about its wildlife can result in such a deep impact to protect the natural world for the next generation to come. Think about interaction with wildlife outside their natural surroundings The most impactful choice you can make as a traveller is to be aware of how you interact with wildlife and do not support organisations that use wildlife for human entertainment. We do not support sanctuaries and zoos that cause harm and trauma to animals. We highly advise against support of any type to organisation that promote riding elephants, taking pictures or walking with tigers and lions in cages, swimming with captive dolphins, or keeping wildlife for human entertainment. We have an obligation to be the voice for those that cannot talk our language and to stand for the welfare of any animal. It is our responsibility to do our background research in supporting any organisation that cares about the health, welfare and future of our wildlife and ecological diversities around the globe. < Previous Article Next Article >

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - V&J na Imprensa - Tempus Magazine Tempus Magazine January-2023 The passion of travel curators Vanessa and Jasper from Voyages & Journeys surpasses the norm. - Gemma Harris - A journey into Portugal's Alentejo All in the details; a chic stay at the rural Malhadinha Nova with unique travel curators, Voyages & Journeys. The passion of travel curators Vanessa and Jasper from Voyages & Journeys surpasses the norm. Even before meeting them face to face, I could tell they were in it because they genuinely wanted to improve travel experiences. The faultless and compassionate service from the outset reflected their personalities. They accompanied me on my transfer to our destination. The two-hour travel time from Lisbon allowed us to chat about their aim with Voyages and Journeys. The different paths they are taking from others and the values they hold close to help them find their edge in unique and once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences for clients. And for this journey? They were taking me to experience one of their favourites and Portugal's best-kept secret, Alentejo. Driving through Alentejo at sunset made the evocative natural scenery even more so, with pink glistening in between the rolling vineyards and cork farms which seemed to stretch for miles. Sporadically we would encounter a small village where things moved leisurely, and they undoubtedly embraced the slower pace of life. The kind of villages where locals always leave their doors open and unlocked explained Vanessa. A warm welcome Arriving at Herdade da Malhadinha Nova in the evening created even more intrigue that this wild region exuded. The bumpy transfer in one of the estate's characterful jeep defenders did not disappoint. On route through the estate, Jasper explained that it spread over 450 hectares with various houses complete with rooms and suites. Over time the ruins throughout this area have been transformed into luxury accommodations. I was welcomed into one of the estate's 30 rooms within the 'Home of the terracotta.' Artisanal design Waking up to the far-reaching view surrounded by vineyards held promise for the next two days spent on the estate. Finishing up a cappuccino in none other than Vista Alegre crockery and the in-house chef's speciality eggs on the terrace overlooking the pool, I was ready. The tour around the estate highlighted how Malhadinha uses architecture that perfectly complements the area's rurality with modernity. Each house has its own take on the Alentejo culture, filled with various pieces from local artisans. I even had the opportunity to try my hand at a craft while here, taking a bulrush workshop with a local artisan - safe to say my creations won't make it into a room, however insightful and fun all the same. Each interior has its personalised touches, from the handcrafted marble details, and locally crafted furniture to the creative lights made from recycled plastic. Family details Owned by the Soares family, Rita Soares, the CEO, was there pointing out her favourite spots, with even a glimpse into the new under-construction spa area, building yet more for the future on what is already an estate based upon strong family foundations. It is truly all in the details throughout, and you can see this family passion project is authentic, with Rita perfecting every design touch herself, even down to each room's scent. Like all good stories, the Soares family story began with wine, with their project starting with the plantation of the first 20 hectares of vineyards. The tour around Malhadina's wine-making facilities and cellars showed every bottle label drawn by the family's children; the cow by Matilde was my favourite! This charm continued throughout and into the wine-tasting experience. Tasting their complex yet elegant - which today are award-winning - wines confirmed that they had resulted in their dedication to their respectful and sustainable processes. Gastronomic secrets The wines were paired with one of the many farm to table experiences I had here. From the olive groves, orchards, and farms to the vegetable gardens, Malhadinha is rich in quality, organic produce grown using regenerative farming methods. The food truly put the cherry on top, especially the Alentejo black pork on decadent risotto. Or maybe it was the incredible apple tart that almost looked too good to eat. The chefs throughout the estate are true to traditions while putting their gastronomic twists and tweaks on each dish. One of the local Portuguese chefs has been in the family for the past 25 years, adding the best-loved family dishes to the estate's menu. If you fancy getting in the kitchen, you can take lessons at Malhadinha and learn from the best. Anything is possible As well as being introduced to various friendly and welcoming staff members and local artisans in my time here, I also got to meet the other equine family members. They weren't just any horses; these were pure-blood Lusitano horses you can ride throughout the vineyards. Aside from wine tasting and horseback riding, there is plenty to do here. On my stay, I met with Luisa, the guest experience manager and was reassured that pretty much everything and anything was possible at Malhadinha, purely restricted by the guest's imaginations and desires. Some popular experiences are hot air balloon rides over the Alentejo plains, romantic picnics within the vineyards, quad biking around the estate or even your own beekeeper experience. More than luxury In Alentejo, nothing is rushed, slowly but surely providing for future generations. These sustainability-minded values continue to be a focus throughout Malhadinha, staying honest to the region. It is more than a luxury retreat. Malhadinha provides a carefully designed, unique and authentic space where traditions are kept alive and experiences are second to none while balancing the needs and respect for nature. Everything here, like in the hands of Voyages & Journeys, feels right and is a profound step for luxury travel. »»» For the original publication click here ««« < Previous Article Next Article >

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Explore - Mundo Subaquático Explore Our Magical Underwater World The most exceptional diving spots It is no secret that our founders, Vanessa and Jasper, are great lovers of discovering the underwater world, and they are experienced divers with logged dives across the oceans. V&J plans diving expeditions to the shores of the Azores; the clear waters of the Caribbean Sea; the glowing plankton-rich depths surrounding Hawaiian Islands; the coral triangle in the western Pacific Ocean; or a mere encounter with whales in the Tasman Sea. “Diving shows you a complete different world, so beautiful that is difficult to express in words.”- Vanessa Mestre. In Jacques Cousteau own words “the sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever”. More than 70% of the planet is made of our oceans and more than 80% of our oceans is unmapped, unobserved, and unexplored – there is still so much to learn from the mysteries of the deep. From past experience working offshore and from their diving adventures, Vanessa and Jasper bring their luggage to the table, and we will provide the most exceptional diving vacations and expeditions. Together with world renown underwater photographers, marine biologists, and researchers we create unparalleled diving expeditions to the most remote and beautiful paradises around the world. We have put together some of our favourite diving spots, for anyone that travels the globe in search of that one, unforgettable, diving day. Shipwrecks, vibrant reefs, or dancing with whales, each spot is a unique portal into the mysterious, beautiful world beneath the ocean's surface that awaits us. V&J only works with private dive instructors and dive centres that prioritise environmental conservation and educational tourism, protecting the unspoiled beauty that attracts scuba divers from all over the world. Azores (Portugal) Consisting of 9 beautiful islands, the Azores Archipelago boasts a variety of geographical diversity filled with high-octane activities. Each island features unique sceneries, cuisine, and cultural charm. Located in the volcanic Atlantic between Europe and North America, this Portuguese island group has developed its own special identity throughout its dynamic history, and today boasts natural beauty. The underwater realm of the Azores present divers with intriguing topography and diversity of dive sites. A subtropical oceanic climate combines with the rich waters of the Gulf Stream, creating a healthy ecosystem that is rich with marine life. The Azores serve as a veritable beacon for whales. Resident sperm whales are joined by migratory blue, fin, humpback, minke, and sei whales plus orcas and several species of dolphins. The peak of whale spotting season is early spring. The Azores is also an up-and-coming destination for shark diving especially with the beautiful blue and mako shark in these deep blue waters. Manta rays are also prevalent in these outstanding depths, along with occasional whale sharks, hammerheads, and a wide array of large fish. Have a look at our Unique Adventure to the Azores for more information. Cocos Island (Costa Rica) [Photograph by Flip Nicklin] When the topic is diving, Cocos Island will absolutely be mentioned in that conservation. Known as one of the most extraordinary places to dive, it is also a highly protected UNESCO world heritage site. The uninhabited Island, 550 km (340 miles) west of the Pacific shore of Costa Rica, and halfway to the Galapagos Islands, offers divers exceptional marine splendour. With a rich history of pirates, whalers, Tongan captives and German adventurers, scuba diving at Cocos Island truly earned the spot on the world map as a top diving destination, with supreme shark experiences in a Pacific playground for schooling hammerheads, manta rays, whale sharks, endangered sea turtles, humpback whales and many more. With the correct weather conditions, it promises diving schedules as many as 3 or 4 dives per day, to explore these ocean waters that are exploding with sea life and ready to unlock unforgettable experiences. Coral Triangle The only region where all together, new and unimaginable forms of life, may perhaps be found. Coral reefs account for less than 1% of ocean floor yet they are home to more than twenty 25% of marine life. In a time when much of world’s reefs are dying due to ocean acidification and rising of sea temperature, less than 1% of the world’s reefs are in a pristine state. The world’s finest reefs can be found within the Coral Triangle of Indonesia, where the Pacific and Indian Oceans converge. Marine scientists recorded over 76% of all known hard coral species and 52% of identified Indo-Pacific reef fish species within this region. When combining both land and sea-based species, Indonesia ranks number one in the world. The diversity goes beyond the kaleidoscopic coral reefs and reef fish. The larger pelagic species can be seen constantly on the move to hunt prey. This includes oceanic manta rays, the great hammerhead shark, the giant sun fish, and the thresher shark as well as the world’s largest living animal, the blue whale and the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. Have a look at our Raja Ampat voyage , step aboard a wooden schooner build by the Konjo Tribesman with 21st century engineering and sail the Coral Triangle on an exceptional sea safari that is created to your inspiration and requirements. Ningaloo Reef (Australia) Located 1.200 km north of Perth, sits a hidden magical place where words simply cannot do justice. Ningaloo Reef, the world’s largest fringing coral reef, awaits. This 260 km long spectacle is just a few salt-watery steps from the exceptional eco-luxe safari tents of Sal Salis. This place is magical because it is truly the rarest of places, where outback, reef and ranges meet and merge; amidst a spectrum of colour for which, only nature has the palette. Between May to October, migrating humpbacks are drawn through Ningaloo Marine Park. Whale sharks, blue whales, southern right whales, orcas, turtles, mantas, and a range of dolphin species are also part of the reef’s oceanic menagerie. A natural symphony that only happens here. A reminder that this world can still astonish. A world even greater and more beautiful exists. The moment you submerge into the realm of whale sharks and humpback whale, your life changes. The whale shark season runs from mid-March to July. Revillagigedo Islands This is the place for high octane diving. Exciting, demanding and, for the experienced diver, very rewarding. The Revillagigedo Islands are located south-west of Cabo San Lucas, at the tip of Baja California. There are few other destinations in the world where we can encounter such an impressive array of “big beasts” – humpback whales, giant manta rays, hammerhead sharks, dolphins, tuna, pelagic fish, and many other shark species. At Guadalupe Island you can get an encounter with great white sharks in superb visibility. The “closest’ island to the mainland is San Benedicto, 390 km offshore, which has become famous among divers around the world for the dive known as El Boiler – a pinnacle covered in corals and patrolled by manta rays and sharks. Nearly 50 km to the south of San Benedicto lies Socorro Island. Also known as the aquarium, Socorro has manta ray cleaning stations as well as several pinnacles where schools of hammerhead sharks are often seen and bottlenose dolphins visit sites, such as Cabo Pearce, almost daily and long encounters are a frequent occurrence. Around 315 km to the west of Socorro is the infrequently visited Clarion Island. Not much is known about Clarion other than it is still relatively unexplored. Tonga The friendly Islands, also known as Tonga, are called the Friendly Islands because of its friendly reception toward Captain Cook during his first visit in 1773. The Islands exist out of 169 islands located in the Southern Pacific Ocean. Stretching over 800 kilometres and with a total surface area of 750 km2, only 96 of these islands are inhabited. Tonga lies South of Samoa, about a third of the way between New Zealand and Hawaii. Tonga is known as one of the few places in the world where you can swim on a safe distance with humpback whales. These magnificent creatures pass through the islands between the months of July and October to mate and give birth. They then leave for their Arctic feeding grounds. In addition to humpback whales, divers can encounter manta rays, eagle rays, many shark species, and other diverse marine life in the area. The underwater geography is just as diverse as its marine life; with dive sites containing everything from coral gardens to caverns and vertical walls, Tonga truly has something for everyone. Tubbataha Reefs (Palawan) The tubbataha Reefs is an UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Sulu Sea to the east of Palawan, Philippines. The region's remote location along with challenging access make it one of the healthiest and least exploited areas of reef in the world, exciting out of 100.000 hectares of the spectacular reef system. Diving these reefs is very limited and controlled because they are so protected for very good reasons, when you can explore these magical waters, you will discover a wide array of pristine coral gardens mixed with steep walls dropping down into the deep blue. Tubbataha park area is an important fish spawning and breeding site and is significant in terms of global marine life species diversity and richness. Tubbataha is the best diving spot in the Philippines, and one of the most biodiverse diving spots on earth. Tubbataha is home to no less than 600 species of fish, 360 species of corals (about 50% of the coral species in the world), 11 species of sharks (including tiger sharks, whale sharks, and whitetips), 13 species of dolphins, and whales, nesting hawksbill and green sea turtles. You can also see manta rays, schools of barracuda and tuna, and smaller marine life like nudibranchs, ornate ghost pipefish, seahorses, and frogfish. Amos Rock is often cited as the best dive site in Tubbataha, boasting colourful soft corals, massive schools of fish, large reef sharks and a gorgonian-covered wall. Washing Machine in the North Atoll is known for some of the best visibility within the marine park and is home to grey reef sharks and plenty of tropical reef fish. You might even see a whale shark or two if you're lucky! Black Rock in the South Atoll is a popular dive spot for whitetip sharks, rays and schools of grouper and giant trevally.

Hawksbill sits at the centre of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, put your diving gear on and swim with rays and sharks, luckily shark fishing is banned in the Bahamas, so these beautiful creatures swim freely, and are often spotted in Malabar Cay. Kayak through Pirates Cut or wander through the abandoned village on Ruins Bay. Making sure not to be misled whilst on your “mission”. Hunt for clues along the route to make sure we can stop this organisation funding. Dive to the depths at Rum Cay to explore the wreck of the HMS conqueror, which sank in 1861 and is allegedly used as a drop off & pick up point by this organisation. Set sail to Crooked Island located in splendid isolation, find the beacon that is hidden on this island and stop the transmission with a code you will have to find.

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.

Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Marsel van Oosten Marsel van Oosten – A true adventurer April-2021 We all try to preserve some of our great memories through photography. It is no secret to the world that Marsel van Oosten is one of the greatest photographers in the world and recently we had the outstanding opportunity to ask him some questions about his work. Find more about the man behind the lens and get inspired for your next shots. After graduating from the Academy of Arts with a BA in Art Direction and Graphic Design, Dutch-born Marsel van Oosten started a career in advertising. As an Art Director at various renowned agencies, he won numerous awards for his work, amongst which are one silver and two gold Lions at the prestigious International Advertising Festival in Cannes. The acclaimed television commercial for a Dutch nature conservation organization is an excellent representation of both his creative and emotional approach to communication, as well as for his love for the natural world and his concerns in relation to the environment. Marsel’s images are famed for his mastery of composition, lighting, colour, and perspective. In his work he tries to simplify and to get rid of the extraneous – simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. In addition to winning the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Travel Photographer of the Year, and International Nature Photographer of the Year (twice), his awards include a First Prize in the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, a First Prize in Nature’s Best International Photography Awards, twice the First Prize in the Travel Photographer of the Year, and several awards in Wildlife Photographer of the Year. His images are featured in galleries and museums, used worldwide in advertising and design, and he is a regular contributor to National Geographic. Where does your passion for photography comes from? I've always been a lover of nature. When I was a kid, I frequently went with my parents into the woods for long walks. At home we often watched films and documentaries about animals. Yet it took a long time before I started taking photography seriously. I didn't like it at art school, so then I ignored the subject. After graduating in graphic design and art direction, I got a job as an art director at a large advertising agency. In the fifteen years that followed, I collaborated extensively with selected photographers to shoot my campaigns. As a result, I was regularly on photo shoots and I learned a lot from that. I also learned to appreciate photography a lot more, and in the end, I bought a camera to take pictures during vacations. I soon found out that my photos weren't very good and I decided to look into it in more detail. Then it became a serious hobby that eventually got completely out of hand. The last three years of my career in advertising I had my own advertising agency which was quite stressful. Nature photography became the way to escape that stress for me. At one point I wondered if I couldn't be a better photographer because it seemed to make me a lot happier. When did you start combining photography with adventure? When my wife and I went on our honeymoon, we opted for a safari in Tanzania. For me that was the first time that I set foot in Africa, and the first time that I photographed wildlife. It made an undeniable impression on me, and from that moment on I was sure that I wanted to make it my job. I knew that would not be easy because fifteen years ago there was not much money to be made in my photography genre. During a brainstorming session with my wife, Daniella, we decided to organize special wildlife photography trips all over the world. At that time, this only happened on a very small scale, so we saw many opportunities there. It turned out to be the right choice because business has been going very well from the beginning of our company. Our starting point has always been that we only do things that make us happy. That has turned out to be a good strategy. When we no longer like a trip, we throw it out, even if it is financially unwise to do so. We both love photography, animals and nature, and travel, so this is the perfect combination for us. What is the most spectacular expedition / travel experience that you ever had? It is difficult to compare journeys because they are all very special in their own way. Our expedition in the Sahara through Algeria, Libya and Chad was really spectacular. I would like to do that again when peace has returned to the region. My most recent expedition to Socotra, Yemen, was also a special experience. Although there is a civil war raging the journey was by no means harmful. What is your dream voyage? In the end I would like to drive an overland truck around the world again, in search of unknown pieces of wilderness. (Now a question everyone wants to know ) What is your perfect camera setup to photograph wildlife? There is no perfect setup because the animals and the circumstances always differ. If animals are very shy, then I need long telephoto lenses, but if they are relaxed, I can sometimes even use a wide-angle lens. In principle, I love to show animals in their natural habitat, with a lot of attention to the beauty that surrounds them. My ideal nature photo is actually a beautiful landscape photo with an animal in it. That means that I prefer to shoot with shorter lenses because then I can show more of the landscape. A 24-70 / 2.8 or a 70-200 / 2.8 are ideal lenses for this. But in practice I mostly use my 180-400 / 4.0 with built-in 1.4x teleconverter for my animal photography. Usually, it is not possible to get close enough to wild animals to use short lenses. Is there anything exciting in the calendar for the future? Absolutely. I am currently working on a new book: MOTHER (a Tribute to Mother Earth). It will be a visual ode to nature and an overview of my best work of the past 15 years. No fewer than 394 pages and 244 photos, so a really bulky book. I've been working on it for over 10 months now, and I'm very happy with the result. It will be available worldwide on April 22. In addition, we had to postpone all our photo trips from 2020 to 2021 and 2022, while those years were almost full. For us, the upcoming two years will be all about non-stop travel and photography with a number of new destinations that we are very much looking forward to. I also have some personal projects in the waiting room, but they will have to stay there for the time being. < Previous Article Next Article >
