De Matthias Iten isch de 11. Zuger Sportler bi Voll Ine und eine, wo im Schwizer Skisport grad richtig spannend isch. De Slalomfahrer us Unterägeri het sich über de Europacup Schritt für Schritt bis in Weltcup kämpft. Spötistens sit sim starche 10. Platz im Slalom vo Val d'Isère, wo er mit Startnummer 61 grad no als 30. in zweite Lauf cho isch, isch klar: Dä Zuger isch im Slalom definitiv ahcho.In dere Folge redemer mitem Matthias über sini Saisonvorbereitig, de lange Weg dür de Europacup, sini Verbindig zum Kanton Zug und über d'Frag, wie mer überhaupt Slalomfahrer wird, wenn mer us Unterägeri chunnt. Mier wänd wüsse, wie dä Summertraining-Alltag usgseht, was wichtiger isch: Kraft, Stabilität, Beweglichkeit oder Skitäg – und obs Trainingsblöck git, wo sogar en Profi am liebste überspringe wür.Es gaht aber au um die härtere Site vom Spitzesport. De Matthias het jahrelang mit Ruggeprobleme kämpft und öffentlich drüber gredt, dass Rücktrittsgedanke meh als einisch es Thema gsi sind. Mir redet mit ihm drüber, wie präsent dä Ruffe hüt no isch, wie mer trainiert, wenn de Körper Grenze setzt, und was ihn trotzdem immer wieder zrugg an Start bracht het.Natürlich lueged mir au uf sini letzte Saison und de Durchbruch im Weltcup. De 2. Platz im Europacup-Slalom vo Levi het früeh zeigt, dass öppis möglich isch. Kurz druf folgte in Val d'Isère de grossi Moment: Startnummer 61, schwierigi Piste, grad no qualifiziert und am Schluss Top 10. Genau über so Täg wänd mir rede: Was lauft im Chopf? Merkt mer vor em zweite Lauf, dass öppis möglich isch? Und wird de Olympia-Traum plötzlich griffbarer, wenn d'Resultat stimmed?Jedefalls isch Letschteres spötistens Tatsach gsi bim grosse Saisonhighlight: Wie fühlt sich das a, vor heimischem Publikum in Wengen mit grüener Ziitahzeig is Ziel zfahre? Was passiert im Chopf, wenn plötzlich nöd nur es Weltcup-Bestresultat (6. Rang), sondern au de Olympia-Traum ganz real wird? Und wird de Druck chli chliner, wenn d'Kriterie erfüllt sind oder erst recht grösser, will de Traum plötzlich echt isch?Es erwartet dich en Folg über Slalom, Durchhaltewille, Rückschläg, Weltcup-Momente und de realisierti Traum vo Olympia. Also en Folg für alli, wo de Schwizer Skisport nöd nur über Rangliste verfolged, sondern d'Gschichte dehinter wänd verstah. Darum, wie immer, VOLL INE lose!FOTO CREDITS Reto Müller.

l podcast di Non Stop News dedica spazio alle eccellenze nazionali, celebrando talenti e iniziative che rendono grande l'Italia. Bruno Felicetti, direttore generale delle Funivie di Madonna di Campiglio, aggiorna sulla stagione sciistica in una delle perle delle Dolomiti, con ottime presenze grazie a neve perfetta e grandi eventi di Coppa del Mondo. ​ In “Fisi News”, Giovanni Franzoni è la nuova stella azzurra: dopo i primi podi in carriera (3° a Val Gardena, 1° e 3° a Wengen), conquista la discesa libera di Kitzbuehel sulla mitica Streif, precedendo Odermatt (+0.07) e Muzaton, dedicando il trionfo all'amico Matteo Franzoso. Giorgio Rocca offre uno sguardo alle gare di ieri e oggi, con l'Italia protagonista in vista di Milano-Cortina. Per il Giorno della Memoria 2026 (81° anniversario dell'abbattimento dei cancelli di Auschwitz), il prof. Gadi Luzzato Voghera, direttore della Fondazione CDEC di Milano, presenta il suo libro “Al confine tra la vita e la morte” sul fenomeno del “musulmano” nei lager (termine per i prigionieri al limite della sopravvivenza, non legato all'Islam), riflette sull'importanza del ricordo oggi senza testimoni diretti e sull'allarme antisemitismo in aumento. Andrea Salvati riassume il calcio di Serie A: ieri le altre partite della 22ª giornata, oggi big match Juventus-Napoli alle 18 e Roma-Milan alle 20.45, decisive per lo scudetto con Inter in testa. In chiusura, Maurizio Belpietro commenta l'attualità.

Was Schelker auf seiner ersten Jogging Runde nach über 10 Jahren erlebt hat, ist gelinde gesagt verstörend. Deutlich angenehmer ist da der Gossiptalk von Mosers Aprés Ski Party mit Odermatt und co. in Wengen.

Os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de Milão‑Cortina começam em 6 de fevereiro e prometem ser uma das edições mais grandiosas da história. Com novos esportes no programa e competições espalhadas pelo norte da Itália, o evento deve atrair 2 milhões de turistas para a região. Para o Brasil, a edição de 2026 marca um momento especial: pela primeira vez, o país chega aos Jogos de Inverno com atletas em condições reais de lutar por medalhas. Júlia Valente, correspondente da RFI em Milão Faltam menos de três semanas para o início dos Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de Milão-Cortina. Pela terceira vez, a Itália recebe o evento, que terá duas sedes principais: Milão e Cortina d'Ampezzo, nas Dolomitas, a cadeia montanhosa dos Alpes italianos. As competições indoor serão realizadas em Milão, enquanto as demais provas acontecem em diferentes localidades do norte do país, como Cortina, Bormio e Livigno. A edição de 2026 contará com 16 modalidades esportivas e a participação de aproximadamente 3.500 atletas de 93 países. Neste ano, o programa olímpico traz uma novidade: a estreia do esqui de montanha, conhecido como skimo.  A expectativa é de uma grande audiência: cerca de 3 bilhões de pessoas devem acompanhar os Jogos em todo o mundo, enquanto mais de 2 milhões de turistas são esperados presencialmente ao longo das competições.  No Brasil, porém, boa parte do público ainda desconhece que os Jogos de Inverno começam em breve. Os turistas Paulo e Maria Isabel, que estão de férias em Milão, se disseram surpresos ao descobrir que a cidade será sede do evento. Para eles, falta divulgação no Brasil. “Eu, que gosto muito de esporte, não sabia que seria aqui em Milão e achei muito interessante. É um lugar muito bom para receber esse tipo de evento. Que pena que acho que não vamos conseguir assistir aos jogos”, afirmou Paulo.  Ainda há ingressos disponíveis. Os preços começam em € 30 (mais de R$ 180 na cotação atual), com opções mais acessíveis para modalidades como hóquei no gelo e curling. Já para assistir à cerimônia de abertura, marcada para 6 de fevereiro, o ingresso pode custar até € 2 mil (cerca de R$ 12 mil). O evento contará com apresentações de Laura Pausini, Mariah Carey e Andrea Bocelli. Para os que pretendem assistir presencialmente, o custo total pode ser alto. Segundo a Altroconsumo, entidade de defesa do consumidor na Itália, os preços de hospedagem chegam a quintuplicar no norte da Itália durante o período olímpico. A região da Valtellina, palco das provas de esqui acrobático e snowboard, registra os maiores aumentos, com um casal pagando em média € 1.659 (cerca de R$ 10 mil) por um fim de semana.  A expectativa é de um expressivo impacto econômico para a região. Estimativas indicam um retorno de € 5,3 bilhões (mais de R$ 32 bilhões), considerando turismo imediato e futuro, consumo, serviços e os benefícios de longo prazo associados aos investimentos em infraestrutura, segundo o banco Ifis. Somente em obras de infraestrutura, tanto esportivas como públicas, foram investidos € 3,5 bilhões (R$ 21 bilhões). Grande parte desse legado deve permanecer após os Jogos. Em Milão, a Vila Olímpica, construída para abrigar 1.700 atletas, será convertida em moradia estudantil. A arena de hóquei, com capacidade para 16 mil espectadores, será transformada em um ginásio multiuso destinado a eventos esportivos e culturais. Mas a poucos dias do início dos Jogos, nem tudo está pronto. Alguns teleféricos em pistas de esqui seguem em obras, pousadas continuam em reformas e a própria arena de hóquei ainda não foi totalmente concluída. A organização agora enfrenta uma corrida contra o tempo para entregar todas as estruturas até o dia da abertura. Brasil chega a Milão-Cortina com chances de medalhas O Brasil disputa em 2026 sua décima participação em Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno, mas nunca conquistou uma medalha. Neste ano, no entanto, a expectativa é de mudar este cenário. “A gente diz que a medalha nunca esteve tão quente. Vamos sonhar até o último segundo, porque a gente se preparou. Temos atletas que estão entregando resultados históricos", disse Emílio Strapasson, Chefe de Missão do Brasil nos Jogos de Milão-Cortina, em uma apresentação na Câmara dos Deputados. "Não é uma questão de sorte, é uma questão de que a gente consegue realmente ver uma linha de crescimento e vamos chegar na Itália com uma chance real de medalha. A gente não é mais um intruso, a gente é um participante respeitado”, ressaltou. Dois atletas se destacam como protagonistas na busca por resultados inéditos. O principal nome é o esquiador Lucas Pinheiro Braathen, uma das grandes promessas do país em Milão-Cortina. Na temporada 2025/2026, ele já subiu ao pódio três vezes, com uma vitória e dois segundos lugares. Em novembro do ano passado, ele entrou para a história ao se tornar o primeiro brasileiro a vencer uma etapa da Copa do Mundo de Esqui Alpino, em Levi, na Finlândia e neste domingo (18), conquistou a medalha de prata na prova de slalom na etapa de Wengen, Suíça. Filho de pai norueguês e mãe brasileira, Lucas competiu pela Noruega até 2023. Após divergências com a federação norueguesa e um ano afastado das pistas, decidiu retornar ao esporte vestindo as cores do Brasil. Outro nome com potencial de pódio é Nicole Silveira, destaque no skeleton, prova em que o atleta desce pistas de gelo em alta velocidade deitado sobre um trenó, chegando a até 140 km/h. No último dia 9, Nicole conquistou a medalha de bronze na etapa de Saint-Moritz da Copa do Mundo. “Essa medalha é muito importante pra mim, porque acho que mostra que todo o esforço que eu estou fazendo é o caminho certo e que está tudo valendo a pena”, afirmou. A atleta teve uma evolução significativa ao longo da temporada. Nas quatro primeiras etapas do circuito, ficou fora do Top 10, mas conseguiu saltar para o décimo lugar no ranking mundial após o bronze na Suíça. “A temporada não começou muito do jeito que eu queria. As atletas que eu estou competindo contra, muitas têm mais experiência que eu. Então, eu estou tentando achar o atalho pra chegar no topo. E é ano olímpico, então todo mundo está bem forte”, disse Nicole. Com resultados expressivos e visibilidade crescente, o Brasil chega a Milão-Cortina vivendo o momento mais promissor de sua história nos esportes de inverno.

“ Beaumier is a story that began truly 10 years ago if we go back to the beginning of the portfolio. But this story of implementing soulful luxury properties and beautiful environments, really rooted in the local culture—it's less than five years old. We're a very young brand, I would say.”We're in great company with Anna Fedou, Brand & Marketing Director of Beaumier Hotels, a curated collection of ten soulful luxury properties woven across Europe's most enchanting landscapes—from Provence and the Riviera to the Alpine peaks and Ibiza. Beaumier is built on a philosophy of "the art of living differently"—a belief that true hospitality begins not with grand gestures, but with listening—to the landscape, to the people who call it home, to the history woven into its walls. Rather than imposing a predetermined style, each property emerges as an act of discovery, honoring its surroundings while breathing new life into them with the spirit of a curious explorer and the care of a devoted steward.In this winter episode, Anna shares how her own multicultural upbringing—shaped by movement between cultures and meaningful family moments—informs Beaumier's approach to creating spaces where guests feel genuinely at home, offering us timely lessons in slowing down, belonging, and the kind of intentional living we all crave as the holidays approach.Top Takeaways[1:50] How Anna's childhood spent traveling between France, Portugal, Spain, and London—punctuated by magical family holidays discovering the world together—became the compass that would eventually guide her career in creating meaningful, connected experiences for others.[6:40] What began as a small collection of Alpine ski hotels transformed into a spirit of adventure named Beaumier—seeking out hidden architectural treasures and breathing new life into them with intention and reverence.[19:40] At Beaumier, guests reconnect with nature and themselves through thoughtfully curated spaces where design, storytelling, and “happy accidents” become conversation starters that spark joy regardless of cultural background. [24:15] Winter Properties: L'Alpaga in Megève, Les 3 Vallées in Courchevel, Le Val Thorens and Le Fitz Roy in Val Thorens—all provide distinctive perspectives and experiences of the French Alps—while the Grand Hotel Belvedere in Wengen is a historic hideaway in the Swiss Alps.[26:00] Summer Properties: Capelongue, Le Moulin and Le Galinier  show different sides of Provence—while Les Roches Rouges sits peacefully overlooking the Côte d'Azur, and Petunia dispels the myth of Ibiza.[30:55] What ties together ten distinct properties across Europe isn't a playbook—it's a commitment to locally sourced cuisine, genuine human connection, and a deeply personal approach to wellbeing that honors what each guest truly needs to feel whole.[35:50] A first glimpse into Wengen's revival through Grand Hotel Belvedere—a revitalized property breathing new life into a sleeping beauty destination that's been beautifully unchanged for decades, inspiring the entire community to awaken alongside it.Visit For YourselfBeaumier Website | @beaumierhotels Bon Voyage by Beaumier

Kim and her daughter Mia just got back from a mother-daughter trip to Switzerland. They celebrated her high school graduation with a grad trip and since Mia loves mountains and she was already going to be in France with a school trip, Switzerland was her top choice! They visited Geneva, Zermatt and the Jungfrau Region because they really wanted to focus on the mountains. Altogether they spent eight nights in Switzerland and they moved around a lot. The itinerary included: 1 night in Geneva 2 nights in Zermatt to see the Matterhorn 2 nights in Grindelwald 2 nights in Wengen 2 nights in Lucerne If you are going to Switzerland and you really want to spend time in the mountains, skip Geneva and Lucerne and focus more on the smaller towns, not the cities. Their favorite town was Zermatt for hiking and also wine tasting. Grindelwald was the other favorite because of the hotel and the view of Eiger. Some of the activities included: Visit the old town in the cities (e.g. Geneva) Hiking (which are harder than you might expect even on trails described as easy, use Google Maps to see elevation, buy or bring hiking poles if you can and are checking a bag) Cable cars (which are pricey) Matterhorn Glacier (you can also ski even in the summer) Alpine slides / mountain coaster / ziplines The train is a great way to get around the country and if you use a Swiss Rail Pass you also get transportation on some of the cable cars (but not all). It makes it very easy because you don't need to worry about buying tickets. First class will give you more seating options and it is less crowded so it is quieter. It is hard to use the trains if you have large luggage as some of the trains are more for locals/commuters. Try to pack light if you can or use a luggage forwarding service. It is better to stay longer in each destination as you spend a lot of time transiting up and down the mountains via train/cable car. Basing yourself in Murren or other smaller towns ends up with a lot of time waiting for transportation. It makes more sense to stay in Grindelwald, Interlaken, or Lauterbrunnen. When planning a trip, be sure to plan at least six to nine months in advance if you want to stay in town and at the better hotels. Also, when considering different hotels, the hospitality is wonderful but look closely at the amenities that are offered. Most don't have air conditioning but it wasn't needed in the mountains. Some hotels have screens on the windows but not all and there are a lot of flies and some mosquitoes. Keep in mind that shops close early (6-7 pm) and that busses also stop running by 7:00 pm in small towns. Hotels and meals are very expensive in Switzerland, especially now that the dollar is weak against the CHF and Euro. Main entrees are 30-50 CHF per person, salads 12-19 CHF, and beer was cheap but wine was expensive. To save money, you can buy wine or beer at the grocery store to enjoy before you go out. Drink sizes are also very small. The food is a lot of fondue, cheese, pasta, raclette, and chocolate. Other regions might have more regional specialties. Otherwise there are a lot of burgers and international cuisine. If you do have allergies, there are a lot of peanuts and other nuts being served as a snack or included in dishes. Credit cards can be used almost everywhere. In all the tourist areas, everyone spoke English. They were less accommodating in the city or non-tourist establishment. Be sure to pack and wear sunscreen. It is hard to find places to refill a water bottle so you may want to carry your own snacks and drinks.

In today's episode Iain speaks with Fiona Easdale, managing director and co-founder of the Val d'Isere chalet specialist YSE Ski.  She was racing downhill in the Winter Olympics at just 16 years old, then worked in sports management with World Cup winning footballers, before her return to the ski industry with Bladon Lines.  There, she rose through the ranks to become managing director, before going off on her own to set up YSE Ski with John Yates-Smith – a company that's now been in business for over 30 years.  This episode is the latest in a series of podcasts I've been publishing focussing on women in the snowsports industry. Previous episodes have included BBC Ski Sunday presenter Chemmy Alcott, GB Snowsport CEO, Vicky Gosling and former-Erna Low MD, Joanna Yellowlees-Bound.

Pflicht oder Freiwilligkeit? Die Bevölkerung des Kantons Bern setzt auf Letzteres und lehnt die Solarinitiative der Grünen mit 72 Prozent deutlich ab. Der Gegenvorschlag wird mit 66.6 Prozent jedoch angenommen. Die Reaktionen. Weiter in der Sendung: · Freiburg erhält ein neues Lager für Millionen-Schätze. · Für 107 Millionen Franken: Im Berner Weyerli wird ein neues Hallenbad sowie eine Eishalle mit Aussenfeld gebaut. · Wengen und Lauterbrunnen erhalten neue Dorfplätze. · Der Berner Oberlander Franjo von Allmen holt Abfahrts-Gold an der Ski-WM in Saalbach. Seine Reaktion auf den Exploit.

«Einstein» ist hautnah dabei bei der Lauberhornabfahrt. Wie macht das Forschungs-Team von Swiss-Ski die Rennfahrer schneller? Wie mixt es exklusiv für die Schweizer das Skiwachs? Und wie macht es den Rennsport mit KI sicherer? Der exklusive Blick hinter die Kulissen. In der Kommandozentrale Schnell Skifahren wie Marco Odermatt ist alles eine Frage des Talents? Nicht nur! Hinter den Erfolgen von Odermatt und Co. steht neben vielen Betreuern auch ein Team von Forschern. Bei jedem Weltcuprennen betreiben diese ein «Command Center», ein Kommandozentrum. Da wird bei den Trainings und sogar zwischen den Läufen jeder Schwung analysiert, jede Gleitstrecke in Zahlen gefasst. Über eine Bildschirmwand flimmern Videos und Zahlen, die das Forschungsteam zusammenfasst und innert wenigen Minuten an Fahrer und Trainer weitergibt. «Einstein» sitzt in Wengen im Command Center. In der Wachsküche Es wird bereits gemunkelt, die Schweizer hätten ein neues Wunderwachs. Noch bevor sich das Starttor eines Rennens öffnet, hat Udo Rauniak bereits einen wichtigen Beitrag zu Topresultaten geleistet. Auf die Ski der Schweizer kommt nicht Wachs einer grossen Wachsfirma, sondern das von Rauniak exklusiv für Swiss Ski gemixte. Auslöser war das Verbot des krebserregenden Fluors im Wachs. Rauniak verrät: «Silikon ist das neue Fluor». In der künstlichen Realität Es ist eine Premiere am Lauberhorn. Forscher der Fachhochschule Yverdon vermessen für Swiss-Ski die Lauberhornstrecke zentimetergenau. Über das digitalisierte Streckenmodell lässt dann ein Mathematiker eine künstliche Intelligenz über eine Million Mal fahren. Die schnellste Linie können sich die Athleten in Zukunft mit der VR-Brille ansehen, also in der virtuellen Realität. Das soll nicht nur ein Beitrag zu schnelleren, sondern auch sichereren Fahrten liefern. «Einstein»-Moderator Tobias Müller darf die Jungfernfahrt machen. Im Schmerzkeller Pain Cave, Schmerzkeller, so nennen Athletinnen und Athleten den Kraftraum auch. Hier werden Grundlagen für Erfolge erarbeitet, aber auch für die Gesundheit der Fahrer. Der Forschungskoordinator von Swiss-Ski, Björn Bruhin, hat derart viele Daten gesammelt, dass er sagen kann, ob Athleten genug fit sind für eine Strecke oder ob körperliche Defizite die Fahrt zu gefährlich machen. Wie schlägt sich Tobias Müller im Vergleich zu Odermatt und Co.? Am Hundschopf Tobias Müller wagt sich auf die Lauberhornstrecke. «Alles viel enger als auf den TV-Bildern», ist sein erster Eindruck. Und dann kommen die Eispassagen. Müller kann kaum noch steuern. Im Haneggschuss ist es griffiger, er lässt es laufen. 107 km/h zeigt seine GPS-Messung. Respektabel, aber noch immer 55 km/h langsamer als die schnellsten Rennfahrer.

Mon invité d'aujourd'hui a travaillé pour le Club Med de 1991 à 2006. Sa première saison s'est déroulée au Club Med de Wengen en Suisse en tant que moniteur de ski. Sa mère était professeur de danse au Club Med et il a visité le Club Med pour la première fois à l'âge de dix ans, alors que sa mère enseignait au Club Med de Cadaques en Espangne. J'ai eu le plaisir de rencontrer mon invité lors de l'étape du Chef du Sport à Opio en France en février 1999, où nous étions une vingtaine sur cette scène. Installé à Anne-cy, je souhaite la bienvenue à Fred Bardot! Fred a raconté l'une des histoires les plus captivantes de sa première saison, mais je n'en révélerai pas les détails ici pour ne pas la gâcher. Il vous faudra écouter pour la découvrir par vous-même! Au fil des ans, Fred a travaillé sous la direction de chefs de village de renom, tels que Max Mailhot, Jonathan Bismuth, Arlette Gilles, Moises Aykanat, Benoit Cousin et Patrizia Moretti, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns. Dans cet épisode, il nous raconte des anecdotes inoubliables de ses nombreuses saisons et nous nous souvenons avec émotion de notre passage ensemble sur le plateau du Chef des Sports en 1999. Fred réfléchit également aux leçons inestimables qu'il a apprises au Club Med et à la manière dont il les applique dans sa carrière actuelle.

Claudia Behih lebt mit ihrer Familie in der kleinen Ortschaft Misserghin in der Provinz Oran in Algerien. Die Gegend ist sehr fruchtbar und ist bekannt für seine Vielfalt an Früchten. Vor allem bekannt, ist die süsse «Clementine». Eine Mandarine, die ein Pater einst mit einer Orange kreuzte. Claudia Lauener Behih wuchs in Wengen im Berner Oberland auf. Als junge Frau wollte sie die Welt erobern: «Ich hatte die pubertäre Idee Köchin zu werden, damit ich die Welt entdecken kann.» Während der Ausbildung in Bern lernte sie damals ihren algerischen Mann Mohamed kennen. Heute leben die beiden mit ihren zwei Kindern in Misserghin, einem kleinen Dorf ausserhalb der Küstenstadt Oran. Mohamed und Claudia sind Obstbauern. Auf ihrem Grundstück wächst praktisch alles, sagt Claudia Behih: «Wir verkaufen Orangen, Oliven und eben die berühmte «Clementine». Eine Mandarine die einst ein Pater mit einer Orange kreuzte. Bis heute ist die Frucht weltweit beliebt. Das Leben in Algerien sei viel entspannter sagt die 41-Jährige: «Hier kann man entschleunigen. Auch wenn man immer wieder Kompromisse eingehen muss.» Zum Beispiel, wenn das Wasser knapp wird oder immer wieder der Strom ausfällt: «Aber irgendwie finden wir immer eine Lösung!», weiss Claudia Lauener Behih. Den Zoo direkt vor der Haustüre Das Leben inmitten der algerischen Natur ist atemberaubend sagt Claudia Lauener Behih: «Wir haben den Zoo, quasi vor der Haustüre!» So tummeln sich Rebhühner, Wildgänse oder Störche rund ums Haus: «Es gibt auch viele giftige Schlangen und Skorpione. Mit Flip-Flops Schuhen durchs Gebüsch zu wandern, würde ich nicht empfehlen. »

My Guest today I and met during my first season in Turks in summer of 1994, but his first season was in Club Med Cancun in July of 1988 as Aide Gestion. Everyone, please help me welcome, Steve Cohn! Before Club Med, Steve attended Georgetown University and obtained a degree in International Finance. After his graduation, Steve went backpacking in Europe and met a few G.O.s on vacation that told him about Club Med. He applied to Club Med (by first calling 1-800 Club Med!) when he got home from his trip and asked to be an Excursions G.O. in his interview. His first season in Cancun was cut short due to Hurricane Gilbert, but he went on to work in many amazing villages from 1988 to 2006. In fact, we only covered a small fraction of the villages he worked in during this interview. We talked about his time in Sandpiper, Arziv, Wengen, Bali, and Itaparica, to name but a few. Steve also met his fair share of famous people as well: 90's model Ashley Richardson, French Open champion Yannick Noah, former world No. 1 tennis player Monica Seles and eleven-time F1 Grand Prix winner, Rubens Barrichello. As you can imagine, Steve has a lot of stories to tell, but my favorite would have to be when he exchanged English lessons for Lambada lessons with his future wife in Itaparica (before you flip out, it was her idea!). Steve is also the longest-serving American G.O. in his position (Gestionnaire) in the history of Club Med. I hope you all enjoy this trip down memory lane like we did. **My First Season podcast has always been free to listen to and is available on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Samsung Podcasts, Podbean App, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, TuneIn + Alexa, iHeartRadio, PlayerFM, Pandora, Podchaser and Listen Notes.
