ITALY
The Alpine region of Italy is blessed with dramatic scenery. The Aosta
Valley in the western Italian Alps is home to such famous ski resorts as
Courmayeur and Breuil-Cervinia, close to the Italian slopes of the
legendary mountains Monte Bianco/Mont Blanc, Cervino/Matterhorn and Monte
Rosa.
Two years from now, from February 10-26, 2006, the Winter Olympics will
draw sports enthusiasts to Piedmont, with much of the action taking place
in the ski resort of Sestriere, southwest of Turin. Sestriere will host an
Olympic village and most of the Alpine skiing competitions. It is situated
in the Susa Valley, which is also famous for the ski slopes in Sauze
d'Oulx, Cesana Torinese and Claviere. These resorts have excellent
facilities, including modern lifts, aprs-ski and Italian Alpine ambience.
From tracks for the beginner to the advanced skier, from snowboarding to
carving and telemark, winter sports enthusiasts will find everything they
are looking for. As the capital city of Piedmont, Turin has a fascinating
history, which dates back two thousand years. It was originally a Celtic
settlement. Today, Turin is a metropolis with fine hotels, restaurants and
boutiques. It is home to an important Egyptian Museum. The mystery of the
Holy Shroud is associated with Turin and can be seen in the same museum
block as the Egyptian Museum. "Underground" Turin makes the city even more
magical: the tunnels, 50 feet under the citadel, can be toured. The
mountains of the Piedmont Alps can easily be reached from Turin, they are
jewels waiting to be discovered. www.italiantourism.com
The Dolomites in the eastern Italian Alps are a fantastic backdrop for
winter vacations in the lovely valleys, where Italian, German and Ladino (a
dialect derived from Latin) are spoken.
Cortina d'Ampezzo, a BEST OF THE ALPS resort in the province of Belluno
(Veneto region), is probably best known to skiers from North America as a
Dolomite skiing paradise. The longest descent is 6 km / 3.7 miles. 51 lifts
serve area. The major mountains of Tofana, Faloria and Cristallo. Venice
Airport is only 2 hours from Cortina and there is a bus connection.
www.cortina.dolomiti.org
Another delightful resort is ALTA BADIA (130 km of open slopes, 53 lifts)
in the province of a Suedtirol/Alto Adige. It is still an insider tip and
deserves to be more widely recognized as a wonderful Alpine resort linked
with the Sellaronda, a ski circuit, which can be skied by experienced
skiers in one day.
Prominent among the ski villages in Alto Adige/Suedtirol are also VAL
GARDENA and ALPE DI SUISI.
There are 12 ski areas and a total of 16 ski tours in this region.
Cross-country skiers will find 200 km / 119 miles of trails. Horse-sled
races, torch-lit descents, and ski shows are regular features
For details please access www.dolomitisuperski.com.

under 8s" or "Ski Special for Kids" at the season's end as well as many
reductions and privileges are among the Dolomiti Superski's offerings for
families. Kids under 8 (born after 29.11.1995) do not pay for accommodation

SWISS
Swiss International Air Lines has experienced its fair share of change
recently. The global network has been reduced, employee redundancies have
been settled and the fleet is smaller than it once was. The challenges
facing the airline industry in general are difficult, at best, to overcome.
In order to survive within the current global climate, carriers must be
swift to implement change and must have the foresight to recognize when
change is necessary.
All the news, however, is not bad. SWISS recently introduced a brand new
product to the United States in the form of an Airbus A340 long-haul
aircraft. What makes this such an important change is that it brings the
carrier to the forefront of intercontinental air travel with the
introduction of lie-flat beds in Business Class, more room in Economy Class
and an in-flight entertainment system that offers some of the best features
in the sky.
AMERICAN AIRLINES
American Airlines is the world's largest carrier. American, American Eagle
and the AmericanConnection regional carriers serve more than 250 cities in
over 40 countries with more than 3,900 daily flights. The combined
network fleet numbers more than 1,000 aircraft. American's award-winning
Web site, AA.com, provides users with easy access to check and book fares,
plus personalized news, information and travel offers. American Airlines
is a founding member of the oneworld Alliance.
