👉 Great sailing ships return to the Baltic Sea  ===================> One month from now, on 27 June 2024, the next edition of the regatta involving the largest sailing ships in the world - The Tall Ships Races - will begin. After 7 years, the "Birds of the Ocean" are returning to the Baltic to sail across almost our entire sea. ⚓ The route leads from #Klaipeda to #Helsinki, from there to #Tallinn, then #Turku, #Mariehamn in the #Åland Islands and the longest leg with the grand finale in #Szczecin, which will take place on 2-5 August 2024. ⚓ Although the full list of entered vessels has not yet been announced, it is difficult to expect that the two great Russian sailing ships - "Kruzenshtern" and "Sedov" - which have always been the highlight of this regatta, to take part in this year's event. ⚓ This will be the 5-th time that The Tall Ships Races finale has taken place in Szczecin. Previously, we hosted the event's finale in 2007, 2013, 2015 and 2017. The next final was due to fall in 2021, but was moved to this year due to Covid. ⚓ It is noteworthy that all finals in Szczecin had the highest attendance of all ports at the same time - the last final, in 2017, was attended by around 2 million visitors! The harbour in Szczecin is almost made for such events - the picturesque Wały Chrobrego and Łasztownia Island create a unique, nautical atmosphere.  #TallShipsRaces #BalticSea #Poland #Scandinavia https://lnkd.in/e9fu6qG6 👇 The Tall Ships Races 2013 - final in Szczecin

Orsa Grönklitt invests SEK 50 million This coming Spring, Orsa Grönklitt will begin the single largest investment in alpine skiing in the company's history. - The decision to realize this creates incredible joy and optimism for everyone in Grönklitt, says Johan Sares, CEO Orsa Grönklitt. SEK 50 million. This is how much Orsa Grönklitt will invest in the area where the former Orsa Rovdjurspark was located in Orsa Kommun. It is the single largest investment in alpine skiing in the company's history. The idea is that the area will have new slopes, a new Funpark, additional so-called "Funslopes", and play areas for smaller children. A new ski lift on the south side may also be built. - We see an extremely large potential in Orsa Grönklitt, but we need to improve the alpine product. Now that we have access to the land of the former Orsa Rovdjurspark, this investment feels right in our ambition to continue developing Grönklitt. There remains a lot of planning and work, but it is inspiring for everyone that the decision is made, says Göran Bronner, owner and group CEO Orsa Grönklitt, in a press release. This project will begin in the spring/summer of 2024 and continue for two years. The hope and plan is that skiing will be made possible in the area as soon as the winter season 2024/2025. #investindalarna #visitdalarna https://bit.ly/4cxQtto

INCOMING STEREOTYPE! Apologies in advance to anyone I offend. River boating through Europe is for very old people. Floating through Central Europe and soaking up all the history, castles, cobblestone streets, and multiple cultures over the course of 7-10 days is for very old people. I'm not exactly sure how this came to be, but river boating is, indeed, a stereotype associated with grandparents, those long since retired, and the like. UNLESS...you privately charter a 150-person river boat, anchor the theme with fitness, and put whoever you choose on it! You see, that breaks the mold. At #Race2Adventure, we did that in 2021 on the Danube, are about to do it again in June 2024 on the Rhine, and in 2026, we're cruising through France via Burgundy, Provence, and down into the French Riviera on the Rhone. If you want to see what happens when we take over a Uniworld River Boat...just click on the video here. You'll see it's incredibly atypical of what you might normally expect on one of these amazing vessels in Europe. https://lnkd.in/ggNRPSGF

- HOT ALERT - French Cour des comptes Report on French ski resorts facing climate change - 🎿 🗻   In France, only a few ski resorts could hope to continue operating by 2050. Deteriorating snow conditions has a direct impact on ski resort attendance levels. In the country, public spending accounts for around 25% of many ski resort's revenue. Most investments are made in heavy infrastructures (39%) -ski lifts principally-.   To date, the adaptation policies implemented by mountain stakeholders have focused on the ski economy, relying essentially on the production of artificial snow, which is particularly water and energy-intensive and unsustainable in the long run.    An interesting way forward would be to redirect public spending to support ski resorts in transforming their economic model to adapt to the realities of climate change. In concrete terms, this would mean providing more funding for diversification initiatives - soft sports tourism and heritage enhancement - and for the deconstruction of infrastructures that are no longer in use due to climate change.
