Few cities blend culture and countryside as effortlessly as Vienna.

On 26 & 27 September 2026, the Vienna W**e Hike Weekend opens four curated routes through the city’s vineyards – from the classic Neustift–Grinzing–Nussdorf hillsides to the family‑friendly Bisamberg slopes and the shorter Ottakring and Mauer loops. Along the way, you’ll pause at traditional Heuriger taverns and boutique w**eries for tastings of Vienna’s signature Gemischter Satz and seasonal dishes – turning a simple walk into an indulgent, deeply local experience.

Pair your w**e weekend with luxury living in the 1st District: an elegant 3‑bedroom apartment near Parliament and the Rathaus, with spacious open‑plan living, two king-size bedrooms and a queen bedroom with en‑suite and walk‑in shower – right in the historic heart of the city.

When summer fades into autumn next month, Vienna’s vines, taverns and grand boulevards will come into their own.

Tired of the same pistes in the Alps year after year?

For skiers who’ve “done” the classics and are ready for something rarer, we’ve just published a new article on the Rocksure website exploring unusual ski season destinations – where the stories are as memorable as the snow.

From:
Japan – legendary “Japow”, onsen rituals and exquisite cuisine
Morocco – skiing the High Atlas by day, Marrakech medina by night
Iceland & Greenland – heli-skiing from mountain to sea in otherworldly Arctic light
Chile, Argentina & New Zealand – chasing winter during the European summer

These are journeys where culture, landscape and adventure meet – and where very few people you know will have clicked into their skis.

At Rocksure, we design bespoke, luxury ski itineraries to these destinations and more, tailored entirely around how you like to travel.

Imagine a summer’s day that suddenly turns to twilight.

On 12th August, a solar eclipse will briefly transform the sky as the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, casting a moving shadow across the planet. Within the “path of totality”, daylight fades, temperatures drop and the world takes on an otherworldly glow – for just a few unforgettable minutes.

For this eclipse, some of the most compelling viewing will be from carefully chosen spots in Spain and Iceland, where dramatic landscapes and wide, open skies create a spectacular natural stage.

Where will you be for this dramatic celestial event?

Looking for space to truly switch off this summer?

Tucked away on a secluded five‑acre headland in north-east Corfu, the Kassiopia Estate is one of the island’s most coveted luxury retreats – where sea, sky and scented Mediterranean gardens meet in perfect harmony.

For those still considering a late summer escape, we have a final few dates at Cassiopeia House in the last week of August and first week of September, and at Atolikos House in late September, when the island is quieter yet still beautifully warm.

Just a short stroll from the harbour village of Kassiopi, this privately owned estate is home to two exceptional villas, both designed by a Norman Foster–trained architect and finished to the highest specification, blending traditional Corfiot and Venetian influences with contemporary comfort.

✨Cassiopeia House
A superb seven-bedroom villa with expansive indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, bar and dining for 20. Tiered gardens lead to a family-friendly pool, a main saltwater infinity pool and a pebble beach. Inside, a cinema room, gym, sauna and steam room offer every possibility for relaxation.

✨Atolikos House
An intimate three-bedroom hideaway, each bedroom with its own en-suite. A stunning open‑plan sitting room with traditional Corfiot fireplace opens to a wrap‑around terrace of daybeds and loungers, overlooking Kaparelli Island and the Albanian mountains, with manicured gardens and a sea‑facing infinity pool completing the setting.

The villas can be reserved together for larger celebrations or taken separately for complete tranquillity. Cleverly positioned, they are close enough to share moments, yet private enough for each party to feel entirely secluded. Each has its own sea access and pool area, with a shared jetty as the focal point for days on the water.

To explore a stay at Kassiopia Estate with Rocksure, contact our team directly to start planning your time in Corfu.

The Olympic flame may have gone out during the Closing Ceremony back in 2024, but Paris has found a beautiful way to keep the magic burning.

Each summer evening from 21 June to 14 September, the iconic Olympic cauldron returns to the Paris skyline. Designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, the Paris 2024 Olympic Cauldron takes centre stage in the Tuileries Garden, where it rises more than 60 metres into the night sky at sunset, creating a spectacular reminder of the spirit and excitement of the Games.

But here's the clever part...

Rather than using a real flame, the cauldron is entirely electric and fuel-free, creating the illusion of a glowing fire using nothing more than water mist and LED lights. The result is every bit as mesmerising as the original.

Planning a visit?

✨ View the cauldron up close whilst it is grounded in the Tuileries Garden from 10:00am each day.
✨ Watch it rise at sunset (approximately 10:30pm in July, 9:30pm in August, and 8:30pm in September).
✨ Best of all? It's completely free, with no tickets or reservations required.

Whether you're planning a romantic city break, extending a European tour, or simply looking for a unique reason to revisit the French capital, this is one event worth timing your trip around.

Get in touch with the Rocksure team to plan a summer sojourn in Paris and experience this extraordinary moment for yourself.

London in summer is a city transformed – long, golden evenings, leafy avenues and the soft hum of the city drifting across its parks and gardens. This season, why not slow down, savour the moment and experience London at its most magical?

🌳 London parks in their prime
Stroll by the lakes and galleries of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, pause in St James’s Park for postcard‑perfect views of Buckingham Palace, or head to Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill for rose gardens and sweeping sunset panoramas over the city.

🎭 Cultural highlights for a summer stay
Pair time outdoors with standout cultural moments:

Explore the opulent State Rooms during Buckingham Palace’s seasonal opening (9 July–27 Sept)
Enjoy world‑class music at the BBC Proms, Royal Albert Hall (17 July–12 Sept)
Experience the creativity of the Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (21 Aug–6 Sept), where free open‑air performances and installations transform riverside neighbourhoods into a vibrant stage

🍹 A taste of London summer: Classic Pimm’s
Pimm’s No.1, fizzy lemonade or ginger ale, plenty of ice and fresh garnishes – orange, strawberry, lemon, cucumber and crushed mint – for the perfect park‑side serve, whether you’re pouring a single glass or a sharing pitcher.

If you’d like to craft your own London summer – from Pimm’s in the park to Royal palaces– get in touch and we’ll create a bespoke itinerary just for you.

As temperatures have soared and heatwaves have swept across much of the world, the thought of crisp mountain air, fresh powder and snowy scenery feels more tempting than ever. Swapping sweltering streets for snow‑dusted peaks? Bliss.

From spacious chalets perfect for groups of adults to family‑friendly homes in resorts with excellent ski schools and mixed‑ability terrain, we have properties to suit every party. Our most sought‑after chalets and luxury apartments – with ski‑in/ski‑out access, private wellness areas and dedicated concierge – are always the first to go, and prime dates are already under serious consideration.

A few favourites:

❄ Méribel, France – Often considered the prettiest resort in Les Trois Vallées, Méribel offers easy access to Courchevel and Val Thorens, a wide choice of bars and restaurants, and plenty of off‑slope activities. Authentic Alpine charm, breath‑taking scenery and vast, world‑class skiing keep guests returning year after year.

❄ Verbier, Switzerland – A sun‑drenched, south‑west‑facing resort with legendary runs and a celebrated après‑ski scene. Verbier’s vibrant village blends sophisticated restaurants, chic bars and designer boutiques with an authentic mountain atmosphere.

❄ Zermatt, Switzerland – Nestled at the foot of the iconic Matterhorn, this car‑free, chocolate‑box village offers high alpine terrain, long scenic pistes and some of the finest mountain restaurants anywhere. Equally appealing for non‑skiers and devoted snow lovers.

Whether you’re envisioning a glamorous New Year in the Alps with friends, a cosy family half‑term escape, or a long weekend of grown‑up après‑ski and Michelin‑starred dining, our team will curate a fully bespoke experience around you and the way you like to travel.
