Madonna di Campiglio is located in northern Italy, surrounded by the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites and the Presanella Dolomites. The town is known as the place of rest for princess Sissi herself, and today it is adored by winter sports enthusiasts. Every year, a team of alpine skiers and snowboarders meet here at the World Cup. Due to its location - 1,550 m above sea level - and gondola lifts open all year round, Madonna di Campiglio is the starting point for mountain climbing. You can drive here on scenic routes, most of which are easy to medium difficult. The exception is 3 Tre, the slalom world cup race track and the fast Amazzonia on the slopes of Spinale. Skiing is also possible in the evening - the illuminated ski run Miramonti is waiting for those willing.

It is good if the decision to buy a camping car is not made hastily. Buying a camper shouldn't be the first thing you start your caravanning adventure with. You should already know in advance whether this method of traveling is suitable for you. So you can try to go camping with friends or, better yet, rent a camping vehicle yourself to verify your ideas about this type of holiday. Only when you learn not only the advantages, but also the difficulties related to e.g. limited parking options and even access to selected places, or related to vehicle maintenance (e.g. getting rid of waste), will you find out whether caravanig is really attractive to you proposal.

2-in-1 products such as shampoos with conditioner are praised in advertisements, and 3-in-1 products, such as tonics or face lotions, are not uncommon.

Near the Vanoise National Park, in the French region of Savoie, lies a complex of four ski resorts. At different altitudes, but linked like sisters, there are ski stations: Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950 and Arc 2000, which together form Les Arcs.

The Brevio T600 model was based on the Fiat Ducato. Certainly, it cannot be considered a luxury model, but it probably has everything you would expect from a motorhome, which costs less than 45,000 at the basic price. euro. The car is available with three different engines. The cheapest will be a motorhome with a 2.3 Mjet engine with 96 HP. There is also an engine with the same displacement, but with a power of 109 HP. The most expensive version has a 3-liter engine with 130 HP. What sets the Brevio apart, however, are not the engines. The construction of the camping part will be more interesting in this case. The completely flat walls are made of three-layer insulation boards, which should ensure both good ventilation in summer and high temperature in winter. Of course, the appropriate devices will help, although the cabin air conditioning (manual) is available only at an additional cost. The Truma 4 Combi heating is available as standard.

At the foot of the Mont Blanc peak lies the Chamonix valley - a place that will delight everyone. It is a small mountain town in the Haute-Savoie department (Rhone-Alpes region), which was practically unknown until the 19th century. It was then - in 1786 - that two daredevils first climbed "mont audit" ("the cursed place"). When the highest peak in Europe was conquered and its bad reputation was overcome, mountaineering enthusiasts, artists and scientists began to come to Chamonix. Today, the resort is one of the most famous ski resorts in France. In addition to the mountain itself, which impresses visitors, there are 400 other peaks, over 70 glaciers and 7 valleys, among which Chamonix is located. The first Winter Olympic Games were organized in the resort, and the first mountain guide association was founded here. Snow, conquering peaks and the winter element - Chamonix is irresistibly associated with it. The world's longest cable car is also located here, running from the resort to the peak of Aiguille du Midi. It was established in 1920.

The law provides for two solutions. The first allows you to drive a set in which a trailer weighing up to 750 kg was attached to a passenger car of any weight (i.e. up to 3.5 tons). However, this does not mean that you cannot drive a heavier trailer. However, if you decide on the latter solution, then the entire set must weigh no more than 3.5 tons, and the weight of the trailer must not exceed the weight of the car that pulls it. Take into account not only the regulations, but also the fact that the car must have sufficient power to have the power to pull the trailer not only on flat terrain, but also uphill. So if you have a car with a power of 50-60 HP or less, try to get a trailer that is as light as possible.

The Burstner Grand Panorama model is probably the biggest hit of the camping fair at the end of the year. Although this is a model for 2013, it is already available for purchase. However, it is hard to say that the price of the vehicle based on Fiat Ducato elements is a bargain. The i920 G model, equipped with a 3-liter 177hp engine, costs nearly 124,000 in Germany. euro. This is the price you might as well buy an apartment in a big city. The comparison with the apartment is not accidental. From the outside, the Grand Panorama does not resemble the Fiat Ducato at all. Rather, it evokes associations with a futuristic bus. But its real advantages can only be seen inside. The interior design and the quality of the materials used simply delight. It cannot be said here that the Grand Panorama is "like an apartment". It is an apartment in the full sense of the word - comfortable, spacious and luxurious.

Currently, most of the new motorhomes are based on the Fiat Ducato design. The German Hymer is an exception here as it benefits from the expertise of Mercedes-Benz. The basis for the Starlight series is a Mercedes Sprinter 316 CDI equipped with a 2.2 liter engine. It allows you to reach the power of 163 HP. You can also order a 190 HP version with an automatic transmission. Each version of the Stralight can be driven with a category B driving license.
