Winter Activity Holidays

Waymark: Best Ski Company Award 2007

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.

Amanda Ceraolo, Exodus' Winter Activities Programme Manager“Falling into snow is my idea of heaven and no matter what activity I try, I always end up turning into a child and throwing myself into the white stuff. I’ve always been a passionate skier but until I tried Exodus winter holidays, I never understood the feeling of snowshoeing through Dolomite scenery, cross-country skiing in the Alps or dogsledding through Lapland. With each Exodus winter holiday, I have come back a bigger child than before I left!”.

What the experts say about our Winter Activity Holidays...

Graham Bell, BBC Ski Sunday Presenter"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’

 



Our selection on the snow

Why not try a fresh winter activity this year? Most require no prior experience, are great fun and based in crowd-free resorts.

You can choose from four different winter holiday categories.

Snowmobiling in Swedish LaplandMIXED ACTIVITY WEEKS

The best introduction to an alternative winter holiday as you can try a different activity every day. Full instruction is given and all equipment is usually included so it’s perfect if this is your first winter experience. Not ready for a full week of snowshoeing, dogsledding or cross-country skiing? Then try each out for size along with a few other treats (downhill skiing and snowmobiling) to make the most of your holiday.

HuskiesDOGSLEDDING

A truly magical experience is ‘mushing’ your own team of Alaskan or Siberian huskies across a blanket of fresh snow, past snow-covered trees and frozenl akes. The traditional way to cover large distances without any experience needed. Just be prepared to fall in love with your team of huskies and the surrounding dramatic scenery on our selection of short and long itineraries. For a real adventure, try an expedition through Greenland.

Taking in the scenery whilst snowshoeingSNOWSHOEING & WINTER WALKING

If you simply want to discover a winter wonderland, then whatever level of challenge you’re after this is the ideal way to get straight into the snowy landscape. Far less technical than skiing, you will master it in minutes and then the opportunity for winter exploration is endless. We provide the snowshoes, walking poles and, on the tougher treks, avalanche transceivers, the only specialist equipment you will need.

SkatingCROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

One of the most rewarding winter activities which creates little impact on the environment. Use long, thin, light skis and glide through snow-dusted pine forests or remote mountain scenery whilst keeping fit. Popular group courses range from beginner to advanced with special weeks to improve your skills with expert tuition. Try a little on a Taster week or a lot with a ski race - the ultimate challenge.
