Alpine Summer

Title – Alpine Summer
Date – August 2006
Location - Grindlewald - Switzerland

Choosing the right time of year to visit a new country is the first matter you should address when planning a trip. Summer in the Alps is as rewarding as winter; the landscapes are so different it can feel like two different countries. Activities are not limited to the obvious and while you can’t ski in the middle of summer you can hike, paraglide and mountain bike. The Alps are truly one of the primary adventure sport destinations of the world.

Leap of Faith

Title – Leap of Faith
Date – March 1990
Location – Villars - Switzerland

Skiing is a sport that grows in popularity year on year and for good reason. In recent years with developments in equipment, learning has become easier and a whole new lifestyle has developed alongside. Many people literally jump at the chance to take it to the next level and push themselves beyond their own comfort zones. But you should always check that there is a soft landing whenever you take off.

At Beyond The Blue we run Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop for those embarking on trips anywhere in the world. Amongst many other subjects we look at making sure that you have the appropriate insurance for your trip and the activities you intend to partake in are covered. Many a traveller has come unstuck for the simplest of reasons and the cheapest is, in the case of insurance, certainly not always the best.
