Correct Encanto Names: (btw it's not Encantó!)
(I've posted about this like five times but I still want to help the poor people that don't understand Spanish spelling)
I'm going to tag the wrong names so y'all learn if you look through them
Isabela
Camilo
Luisa
Mirabel
Julieta
Pepa
Agustín
Félix
Jorge
Hernando
Antonio
Dolores
Alma
Bruno
Mariano
Listen you have no idea how I thought of whether I should write down every name, but I'm not even sure if people would mess up a perfectly obvious name (they have. This is why I have trust issues)
Now, the Incorrect Spelling I've found under the cut because I don't want fellow latinos/as to suffer
Isabela
Isabella
Isabelle
New addition: Isabel (you tried)
Mirabel (the protagonist 😭)
Maribel
Mirable
Mirabela
Maribelle
Mirabelle
New addition: Meribel. MERIBEL????
Luisa
Louisa
Lusia
Louise
New addition: Lucia 😭
Camilo
Camillo
New addition: Cammilo (whoever did this triggered the one time someone wrote my name with double Ms for no reason, how dare you)
New addition: Camilio
Little lesson: no Spanish word has double Ms. Only the letters C, R, L, and N can be doubled (think the word CaRoLiNa). HOWEVER, double L makes it sound like a J sound in Spanish. Google the word camilla in Spanish, and you'll see what you're making “Camillo” sound like.
Agustín
Augustin
Augustine
Julieta
Julietta
Hernando
Ernando
Jorge
Jorgé
Jorhe (tf?????)
Dolores
Delores
Doloris
Deloris (wow you rlly wanna use the English pronunciation for that one huh?)
Now I sure hope I never see these but knowing y'all you probably would make something awful like
Peppa (Edit: already done 😭)
Anthonio
Anthony
Allma
Marianno idk (edit??? Already done????)
Thank goodness Felix is the same in both languages except for the accent (I forgive you if you don't use it)
If I see anyone doing Cammillo I will find you 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪
HOWEVER if you're gonna use the accent don't make up where it should go! Please! Don't do like Felíx (IVE SEEN THIS WTF) or Águstin or que se yo Dolóres. Please I'm not telling you to learn the horrid accent rules just please don't use them if you're too lazy to look up where they go in a name or a word. Please. It gives me a headache.
Edit: the only accent we use is the one that rises to the right! So please don't write Fèlix or Agustìn! It's actually Félix and Agustín!
#encanto#spanish spelling#spanish spelling matters!#correct encanto name spelling#i swear i cannot believe i found someone spelling it like this#isabella madrigal#camillo madrigal#maribel madrigal#delores madrigal#julietta madrigal#lusia madrigal

How to Ski European Pistes for Less
Skiing in Europe can cost a pretty penny, especially if you stay at marquee resorts. Happily, the Alps are home to hundreds of ski-centric accommodations, many with budget-friendly price tags.
Here, experts offer up lesser known but equally charming destinations in Italy, France, Switzerland and Austria, with lodging suggestions and approximate nightly rates. Many are family-run hotels, offering “half-board” pricing that includes both breakfast and dinner. And remember, traveling midweek and during off-peak times is always the way to nab the most affordable lodging.
Switzerland
Cervinia, instead of Zermatt
In Zermatt, at the foot of the spectacular Matterhorn Mountain, you’ll find an idyllic village, fine-dining options and some of the longest runs in the Alps. You’ll also find sky-high prices. A rental chalet or a five-star hotel, like Cervo Zermatt, could easily run you $1,212 a night.
For a less pricey way to access Zermatt, Dan Sherman, chief marketing officer of ski.com, suggests staying on the Italian side of the Matterhorn in the Breuil-Cervinia ski area.
“Since Cervinia is lift-linked to Zermatt, skiers can simply travel to the top of the Plateau Rosa via the Plan Maison gondola and then transfer to the Plateau Rosa cable car and ski down to Zermatt on the same ski pass,” he said.
Chris Epskamp, European director of the ski-focused website Powderhounds, agrees that Cervinia is a cost-effective way to ski Zermatt. He added that some of Europe’s best off-piste, free-ride ski terrain is also in this region.
In town, you’ll find hotels like Hotel Edelweiss ($222) and the just-renovated Hotel Europa ($238). A few miles away, Les Neiges D’Antan ($199) is a stylish destination tucked into the pastoral forest of Valtournenche.
Italy
Val di Fassa, instead of Cortina
The land of World Cup descents and alpine eateries, Cortina d’Ampezzo is considered by many to be the jewel in the Dolomites’ crown. But you don’t need to stay in this tony enclave to tap into splendid alpine culture.
Pete Kovacevic, international director for the tour operator Alpine Adventures, favors Trentino’s Val di Fassa region, specifically the town of Canazei.
“Canazei is a great base to tackle the Sellaronda circuit, the iconic 40-kilometer circular ski route around the Sella mountain range,” he said, adding that quality lodging can be found at Hotel La Perla ($155) or Hotel Astoria ($286).
Mr. Epskamp also likes Val di Fassa, particularly for the groomed runs of the Catinaccio and Ciampac-Buffaure ski areas, and the access to off-piste ski routes that run down the side of the Sella massif into Passo Pordoi and the village of Colfosco in Alta Badia.
His lodging of choice? A farm stay. “Agriturismo is a superb way to have a cultural experience whilst skiing in Europe,” he said. For $75 a night plus breakfast, he said, “the cozy Agritur Majon Da Mont near Pozza di Fassa is a perfect example.”
France
Brides les Bains, instead of Courcheval
Skiing France’s 3 Vallees means tapping into 372 miles of interconnected ski runs that weave through eight resorts — from the glaciers in Val Thorens, through the frosted pine forests of Meribel and over to Orelle — with a single lift pass. Courchevel is where the posh perch — think $1,878 for a night at L’Apogee or $2,044 at Cheval Blanc.
Our three expects concur that Brides-les-Bains, the region’s lowest altitude resort, is a less pricey way to access this scenic terrain.
Mercure Brides Les Bains Grand Hotel des Thermes ($122) and cheap and cheery Savoy Hôtel ($99) are walking distance to local restaurants and Le Grand Spa Thermal, a wellness center with pool and massage treatments. In the morning, board the Olympe gondola (Brides les Bains housed the Olympic Village in 1992), which will deposit you in Meribel, a gateway to the larger 3 Valles area.
Austria
St. Anton or Zürs, instead of Lech
A favorite of the international glitterati and royalty (Princess Diana famously taught her sons to ski here), Lech am Arlberg wears its ritziness like a glittering tiara. Properties like Hotel Almhof Schneider ($1,1240) and Severins ($1,094) dazzle with five-star amenities.
Mr. Sherman likes St. Anton, which is also connected to Lech on the same ski pass.
The largest mountain in the Arlberg region, St. Anton combines big-mountain terrain with one of Europe’s rowdiest après-ski scenes, he said. “The party at Mooserwirt and Krazy Kanguruh can go well into the evening.”
Best lodging bets: The centrally located Hotel Ehrenreich ($125), the modern Hotel Anton ($175) or Hotel Post ($220), in the heart of the pedestrian zone
To Mr. Epskamp, old fashioned ski-in, ski-out inns like Hotel Edelweiss ($299) in Zürs — only 300 meters, or about 985 feet, above Lech — deliver excellent value.
“From Zurs, you can tackle the famous White Ring circuit [a 22-kilometer route moving from the picturesque peaks of Zug and Oberlech] and avoid the crowds that congregate in Lech.”

Was kann man von Val Thorens erwarten?
Wer auf der Suche nach idyllischer Hüttenromantik und traditionellen Alpendörfern ist, der ist in Val Thorens definitiv falsch. Hier dreht sich in erster Linie Alles ums Skifahren, ganz nach dem Motto Form follows Function.
Val Thorens ist eine reine Feriensiedlung mit mehrstöckiger Appartmentbebauung. Der Ort wurde in den 1970er Jahren auf dem Reißbrett geplant und so kann man sich vorstellen wie heute die meisten Gebäude noch aussehen. Mal von diesen Nachteilen im Ambiente abgesehen ergeben sich dafür aber auch eine Reihe von
Vorteile:
Zwei der Hauptpisten verlaufen durch den Ort und man ist innerhalb von 5 Minuten oder schneller von der Unterkunft direkt zur ersten Abfahrt gelaufen
Die komplette Infrastruktur an Geschäften, Bars, Restaurants etc. ist fußläufig schnell erreicht.
Mit einer Lage auf 2200 Metern beginnt das Skigebiet im Ort da wo in Österreich viele Skigebiete bereits ihren höchsten Punkt haben.
Keine nervigen Skibus- oder Taxifahrten nötig
Währen der Woche ist der Ort weitestgehend Autofrei
Nachteile:
Die Anfahrt aus Deutschland zieht sich, besonders die letzten 40 Kilometer ab Albertville bis man am Ende des Tals endlich den Ort erreicht.
Mautgebühren in der Schweiz und in Frankreich
Das Auto muss über die Woche im Parkhaus stehen, die Preise sind nicht gerade günstig.
Was kostet Val Thorens?
Preislich ist Val Thorens machbar, wenn man etwas auf Komfort verzichten kann. Eine kleine Ferienwohnung für Selbstversorger kostet pro Person inklusive Skipass rund 500€ die Woche. Der Skipass kostet dabei bereits 265€ inklusive Erweiterung auf “Trois Vallees”. Die Appartements sind dann aber auch sehr einfach und von der Ausstattung aufs nötigste beschränkt. Val Thorens ist höchstgelegene und eher jugendlichere Ort in den “Drei Tälern”. Günstiger kann man in den weiter unten liegenden Orte Les Menuires und St.Martin de Belleville wohnen, beide Orte sind direkt an das Skigebiet angeschlossen. Familiärer, gemütlicher und traditioneller geht es in Meribel zu und die High Society trifft sich in Courchevel. Dort gibt es hochpreisige Apartments, Hotels und sogar einen kleinen Flughafen der direkt im Skigebiet liegt. Die Pisten um Courchevel und den vielen Ortsteilen (zb. La Tania oder Le Praz) gehören auch zu den besten und schönsten in den “Trois Vallees”.
Wer es gerne ruhiger und traditioneller haben möchte, der in Saint Martin de Belleville Station machen, die Geschichte des “Postkartendorfes” reicht zurück bis in das 17. Jahrhundert.
Der Einkauf von Lebensmitteln war bei meinem ersten Besuch vor 10 Jahren noch ziemlich teuer. Es gab nur einige kleine Lebensmittelgeschäften. Mittlerweile gibt es aber einige Supermarktketten wie Spar und Carrefour direkt vor Ort und dadurch hat sich das Angebot und die Preise ziemlich entspannt.
Skifahren und Snowboarden
Das Gebiet “Trois Vallees” ist mit über 650 Pistenkilometern, der größte Gebietsverbund in den Alpen. Rechnerisch lassen sich in einer Woche täglich über 100 neue Pistenkilometer erkunden und das will auch erstmal geschafft werden. Die Pistenvielfalt ist gigantisch und man entweder man bleibt in den hochalpinen Bereichen über der Baumgrenze oder man erkundet auch die ewig langen Talabfahrten runter bis auf 800 Meter, egal ob man dabei die umliegenden, tiefergelegenen Ortsteile von Meribel oder Courchevel erkundet oder in den traditionellen Ort Saint Martin de Belleville abfährt. Hier kann man Höhenmeter ohne Ende machen und kann den ganzen Tag im Erkundungsmodus sein.
Das Panorama ist an vielen Stellen natürlich absolut grandios. Denn oft öffnet sich der Blick auf viele Drei und Viertausender und sogar den Mont Blanc kann man sehen.
Aufpassen sollte man allerdings auf die Liftzeiten und die Planung des rechtzeitigen Rückweges, denn wer nach Liftschluss in einem Nachbartal “hängen” bleibt, der zahlt horrende Taxirechnungen um wieder zur eigenen Unterkunft zurückzukommen.
Feier und Aprés Ski Szene
Das “klassische” Aprés Ski wie man es aus Österreich und Orten wie Ischgl, Obertauern oder Mayrhofen kennt sucht man in Frankreich vergeblich. Einerseits fehlt hier die “Hüttenkultur” und auch die typische “Ballermann” Aprés Ski Musik wird wenig geschätzt.
In Val Thorens gibt es einen Hotspot, die “Folie Douce” Alm, etwas oberhalb des Ortes. Dort kommen insbesondere Fans der elektronischen Musik auf Ihre Kosten. Der Sound ist eher speziell und vielleicht eher mit Clubs in Berlin oder Ibiza zu vergleichen.
Im weiteren Verlauf und in der Nacht lässt es sich in einigen Locations Vorglühen und Feiern. Sehr holländisch geprägt ist zum Beispiel das “Le Monde”. Auch gibt es einige Pubs und Steakhäuser, die auf englisches Publikum ausgerichtet sind. Die Nacht endet meistens in der einzigen großen Disco vor Ort dem Malaysia. Hier wird eine ganz interessante Mischung aus Liveband und DJ geboten, die sich jeweils nach einigen Tracks abwechseln. Die Getränkepreise sind nicht günstig aber noch OK. Erfreulicherweise wird in der Regel kein Eintritt verlangt.
