PostHeaderIcon Andorra Offers New Mountain High Golf

There’s a new golf course in Andorra, nestled high in the mountains. Grandvalira Golf Soldeu is situated in Pla d’ Espiolets. Reachable by an eight-passenger cable car, it is Europe’s highest elevated golf course at 2,590 metres (2,850 yards) high. The nine-hole course is surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains, creating a unique setting.

The Pyrenees Mountains make a beautiful backdrop for this golf course. The scenic area has flowing waterfalls, interesting semicircle cliffs, wooded areas, great elevation, metallic ores, stratified rock, wildlife, mineral springs and hot springs. Though it makes a great place for a ski resort, it is also a peaceful place to be when the sun is shining and a warm breeze is in the air. Now holidaymakers can experience a resort setting that focuses on golf rather than skiing.

The Planning of Grandvalira Golf Soldeu

Planning the location of the new golf course wasn’t easy. It took four years and 3 million euros to plan. The idea was to carefully embed the golf course in the natural environment of the Pyrenees Mountains without disturbing its surroundings. British expert Jeremy Pern led the project. He is famous for his work in designing golf courses.

Building the highest elevated golf course became a labour of love. It is a unique experience for golfers, since it is the only golf course that requires a ride in a cable car to access it. Aside from planning how to get tourists to and from the golf course, a lot of time was devoted to the project. Other time consuming details included construction, greens, planting trees, sodding grass, figuring out how to keep the grass lush, shaping the course and figuring out how to carefully weave the holes among the mountains without disrupting the balance of nature.

Boosting Tourism in Andorra

Andorra is mainly dependent on tourism for its economy to survive. The area brings in more than 9 million visitors per year, mainly from its ski resorts, but there is more to Andorra than the snow-capped mountains. Did you know that Andorra also offers things to do in the summer months? Aside from skiing and snowboarding, holidaymakers enjoy the hiking trails, mountain biking, helicopter rides, para-gliding, trout fishing, bird watching and horseback riding to name a few. The ski Andorra industry isn’t the only tourist attraction in town.

PostHeaderIcon How To Plan A Safe Flight

A flight plan is more than just a schedule and an itinerary. It is a map of your point of origin and destination indicating the different factors that will affect how safely and efficiently you will take off and arrive. For that reason, you need to have a flight plan that’s not only safe and extensive but also legal. Here are some tips for flight planning that you might find useful:

After knowing where you are, know where you’re going. Use standard flight plan forms. Completing these forms is important because there are many factors that go into play when you’re flight planning such as fuel consumption, air temperature, tail winds and other aircraft and weather-related information. There are also certain routes that are specified depending on the type of flight, along with set arrival and departure procedures that you have to be aware of.

Carry your documents. Always check necessary documents pre-flight: certificates, registrations, licenses, authorizations, information about weights and balances and operating limitations. If your aircraft has certain modifications done, make sure you have the required FAA forms. You must be mindful of these documents at all times, especially during international flights.

Always provide a margin. The scariest thing you can do when flight planning is to underestimate. When calculating for fuel reserves, for example, it’s important that you have at least an hour of fuel left on the aircraft when you land, even if fuel stops are included in yourflight plan. That should give you enough reserves in case you get delayed or experience problems during your flight.
