Winter Activity Holidays
Welcome to winter holidays with a difference! Cover a pretty landscape with some white stuff and your panorama is transformed into a beautiful winter playground. Relish every backdrop this winter with a difference and either glide through on skis, make your own tracks with snowshoes or mush your own dog team for a truly memorable experience.
Our winter activity holiday programme is simple. It’s all about seeking out alternative ways to have fun in unspoilt holiday locations, so you won’t find standard skiing holidays or snowboarding breaks here. We escape the crowds rather than join them.

If you really are looking for something different then you have just found it!
What the experts say about our Winter Activity Holidays...
"The peace and tranquillity of being in the back-country during winter is second to none and if you are like me, you will be looking for a new adventure away from the crowds. There are plenty of ways of accessing it: cross-country skiing or snowshoeing will get you fi t along the way, and there is dogsledding or snowmobiling if you want beast or machine to take the strain. If you are really energetic, maybe try ice climbing or a ski marathon. Whatever you choose, Exodus gives you the chance to challenge your spirit of adventure.”
Graham Bell, presenter of BBC TV’s ‘Ski Sunday’ and the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics’.
In the video clip (below), Graham shares his 'Feel More Alive' moment!
