you snooze, YOU WIN

No matter if you’re exhausted, pooped out, spent, running on empty, knackered, or just plain tired, the weekend is finally here and, for once, if you snooze you might win — you can still enter White Line Hotels’ Alpine Edit Contest to win 4 nights of Alpine summer bliss until August 15th!

Thinking of the currently-running Copenhagen Fashion Week and tonight’s Fashion Night Out, as anyone in fashion will tell you, a new twist on a classic is always a chic move. Like we said when we first introduced the contest, when you’re talking about photos to illustrate being tired, sleepy babies and animals are among the classics. To give some inspiration for thinking outside the box of “tired”, here are sleepy animals that aren’t your mega-classic “Sleepy Kitty”. Let Bobo the Yawning Guinea Pig, a sleepy mouse, and Diana the Very Tired Rat show you the equivalent of pairing that classic perfect trench coat with sweatpants…

Calling All Suffering From Pooped-out-itis

“Life doesn’t hold much in store for anyone when you’re tired all the time.” We hear ya, Jack LaLanne! If anyone has some tips regarding pep and vitality, it would probably be the guy who, at the age of 54, badly beat then 21-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger at an informal bodybuilding contest.

Click here for some of Jack’s tips for combating what he calls Pooped-out-itis. If you think you’re a sufferer, what could help more than 4 nights in the lush alpine summer? Get some exercise, eat good food, and watch that nervous tension melt away with the help of White Line Hotels’ new contest.

“I Am So Tired, I Could…

…believe I hear John Lennon’s voice telling me Paul is dead when playing the song I’m So Tired backwards.”

Just a reminder: catching up on some sleep this weekend is a perfect time to get creative, and White Line Hotels’ new contest is going until August 15th!

Are you tired? REALLY tired?

What you see above are the top image hits that came back from typing “tired” into google today. Yeah, falling asleep on top of the computer with a cup of coffee in hand is a classic, and sleeping babies and pets can be pretty cute, but we think you’re more creative than that, and just to prove it, we have a new contest for you!

Show us just how tired you really are and you could be enjoying 4 nights for 2 people this summer at one of White Line Hotels Alpine Edits: Aenea Hotel, Arthotel Blaue Gans, the Cervo, Hotel Greulich, Haus Hirt, Lagacio Mountain Residence, Hotel Miramonte, Piz Tschütta or Vivere Suites and Rooms.

And to make it just a little sweeter, breakfast is included…if you can wake up in time, that is. Have we got your attention? Check out more details here.

THE HOME OF ÖTZI – the alpine edit

image001-cut

Despite spending an eternity frozen in time, the mysterious caveman Ötzi, looked, all things considered, relatively fit for a man of his age – this got us all abuzz, were there magical powers hidden in the depths of the Alps. As such, probably not, but there is something to be said for the quality of life of our mountainous friends, besides it is a good lead into our piece on the region and WHY, yes why it is one of the best hidden secrets for a healthier, stress free summer bolt hole, Avant Ski.

Think here of green lush meadows, wild flora, cooling glacial springs, scented herbs and the rich smell of those fertile lands (that’s essentially a mix of cow dung & the droppings of all those cute little fury friends– yes its true, we have it on excellent sources). Still, it certainly beats the polluted city air, or your air-conditioned office.

Prepare yourself for dramatic, jaw dropping scenic routes, whereby gargantuan landscapes are candidly revealed during the long summer & autumn days, before winter returns coating the scapes with virginal white snow.

For you keen nomads out there who wanna follow in the footsteps of Ötzi, White Line Hotels have got small hidden gems atop mountains, spa retreats that ooze body ‘n soul as well as bases for setting off on your trip to our friends – all privately owned and each with a very distinctive local touch of their very own…precious.
