Reality Check

This tour is operated in partnership with our sister company The Adventure Company (TAC), as such the group may be a mixture of Exodus and TAC clients. This trip is booked through Exodus and you will receive the same award winning customer service that you are used to. TAC operate with the same core principles used by Exodus and champion the benefits of small group travel.

This is an active week with time spent outdoors in the mountains. No previous winter sport experience is necessary as instruction will be provided. A number of the activities can be tailored to the abilities and kids' ages in the group. A moderate level of fitness is required as skiing and snowshoeing are aerobic activities. Warm winter/ski clothing is essential.

In the event of some activities not being possible due to weather conditions e.g. lack of snow, we reserve the right to substitute other activities and/or change the location of the trip in order to try and provide those activities. Depending on numbers, on some departures it may also be necessary to change the order of activities, or divide into smaller groups, so that different activities can take place simultaneously. Your leader will co-ordinate this. Minimum age: 6 years old.

Your Safety All active winter holidays involve some element of risk; from something as normal as slipping on icy pavements, to the possibility of injuries sustained as a result of the activities themselves. While we do all we can to minimize any dangers, participants must be prepared to accept some risk as part of the holiday.

Please refer to the 'risk of injury' section at the back of the Winter Activities brochure, or the online FAQs for this trip for further information.

Normal group size and age

Normally 4 to 16 plus leader and appropriate local staff. Minimum age 5.

Winter Activities: It's about seeking out alternative ways to have fun in unspoilt locations, you won't find standard skiing or snowboarding breaks here.

Mixed Activities: Activities may range from the ordinary (for example walking, cycling or whitewater rafting) to the damn right extraordinary (including caving, camel riding or canyoning).

Family Activity Centre: These will generally be based in small or moderately sized mid-range hotels for the entire trip. The hotels have been selected for their ideal location so you can try out a range of exciting, fun and educational activities from one central base. You are free to choose the activities and who in the family wants to join in, giving you full flexibility. The minimum age on these trips is generally three.
