Everyone who tries it enjoys having fun in the snow! For many, it's the peaceful charm of cross country skiing, away from the crowds, and along beautifully groomed flat trails affording stunning valley views. For some, it's the chance to get close to nature and try out gentle activities like snow-shoeing through the total silence of a virgin snowscape. For others, it's the exhilarating thrills from winter activities such as dog sledding, snow mobiling, sleigh riding or joining a floodlit reindeer safari for the first time. For 2011/12 we're also offering winter walking holidays, with the option to book both cross country skiing and winter walking at the same hotel - ideal if one of you enjoys skiing, but the other doesn't!
Our snow holidays take you to incredibly pretty mountain villages in Austria and Italy where life has hardly changed over the centuries: tiny hamlets in Norway and Finland where reindeer wander freely across the country tracks; picture-postcard villages in Switzerland where farmers ride the snowy roads on sleighs, doffing their felt hats as they go, passing wooden houses decorated with fir boughs and bright ribbons; snow-sure Tyrolean mountain retreats where elegant C16 mansions reflect the history of a bygone era.
The hotels we use are all different in style, and range from great value family-run inns to sophisticated **** hotels with swimming pools, wellness centres and gastronomic cuisine.
To help you find the holiday that best suits your requirements, why not try out our new and improved interactive holiday finder? Simply tell it the type of snow activities you're looking for, the standard of accommodation you'd prefer, and what features are important factors in your holiday choice. It will instantly show you which of our winter snow holidays are for you! And, of course, if you need any further advice our sales team are just a phone call away.
