Winter Holidays

Each year we add new trips to our extensive range of winter holidays to help us – and you – stay ahead of the winter games. Our specialist knowledge gained through 40 years of operating winter trips helps us provide first class adventures.

Our best selling winter holidays highlight the range of adventures we offer. From bobsledding to dogsledding; cross-country skiing to snowshoeing, our winter activity holidays are winter holidays with a difference. Our ethos is simple. It’s all about seeking out alternative ways to have fun in the snow, so you won’t find standard ski holidays here.

New to Cross-country skiing?

Many newcomers imagine that you need to be super-fit to cross-country ski. While fitness helps, a sense of balance and a reasonable amount of coordination are what really count in making the learning process a pleasure. Most people find that by day 2 or 3 they are beginning to get the hang of gliding and stopping.

Different cross-country skiing styles

The Aurora Borealis is one of nature’s most incredible sights, setting the skies of the far reaches of our planet ablaze with shapes and colours. Displays vary in intensity and duration but they still inspire poets, artists and photographers alike.

This is a brilliantly simple way to discover a winter wonderland, whatever level of challenge you’re after. 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.

Experience the magical feeling of ‘mushing’ your own team of Alaskan or Siberian huskies across a blanket of fresh snow, past snow-covered trees and frozen lakes. A truly unique experience, you will learn about these fascinating animals whilst exploring dramatic scenery, as you drive your sled.

Try a different winter activity each and every day. Don’t worry if you’re new to them, this is part of the fun, and full instruction is given. Sample gentle pursuits like snowshoeing and ice fishing or the sheer adrenaline rush of snowmobiling, driving your own husky team or cross-country skiing.

As glittering snowdrifts drape a white blanket around Europe’s shoulders, it isn’t just the landscapes that are transformed – it’s the people too. Our selection of cultural winter holidays perfectly capture this truly special time of year.

A winter event like no other! Our unique ski marathons include tuition to help you achieve this incredible sporting challenge and complete one of the famous ‘Worldloppet Series’ races. Feel the adrenaline racing along the loipes, challenge yourself to get your best time or simply enjoy being part of this exhilarating and memorable event. 

Crisp fresh air, the call of the beautiful Lapland wilderness and thrilling winter activites for all the family. Stay in the cosy wooden cabins of the edge of the Oulanka National Park, where vast forest landscapes are blanketed by snow and puncutated by frozen ice-blue lakes. Discover this Narnia-esque paradise on snowshoes, with arctic clothing included, by snowmobile or commanding your very own team of huskies.
