Torino 2006 The biggest event in the winter sports calendar – the Winter Olympics – kick off in just one week’s time (10th-26th February 2006). You’re a bit late if you’re thinking of entering, but possibly not to late if you simply wish to marvel at the skiing, sledding, skating and more against the spectacular backdrop of the Italian Alps.

When Lars Petre first stumbled upon the Maldives as a young Swede on vacation in 1985, the whole trip was a happy accident.

Head for Gstaad and take a trottinette ride down the mountains! If you climb or take the cable car up the mountain at either Wispile, Rinderberg or – a little further afield – at Sparenmoos, you can ride a trottinette back down. These are scooters that allow you to race down the mountainside on marked pathways at whatever speed you feel most comfortable with.
