Why Not Book a Winter Family Holiday?

Many of you like to travel during the winter and below we've looked at why this is such a wonderful time to holiday with your family. We've also picked a few of our favourite small group holidays which depart during the cooler European months.

During the long days of summer, we all want to make the most of the warmth and the sunshine by heading off somewhere hot for a holiday - it’s the done thing. But, by the same token, how about embracing the cold during the winter holidays by going somewhere to enjoy the snow and winter weather? After all, in many parts of Europe - particularly in the Nordic countries and those places with high mountains where snow is guaranteed - it’s a magical time of year when the scenery is at its absolute best.

Christmas is a time for creating cherished memories, and what better way to do so than by exploring new places with your family? When else can you learn to ski, go snowshoeing, try ice-fishing, build an igloo, experience dog-sledding with huskies, or get to know reindeer. They’re all great family activities that you can only do in winter - so, why not stop dreaming of a white Christmas and just do it: enjoy a holiday season like no other by booking your winter holiday in the snow!

Most of our family trips are deliberately designed to fit into the school winter holiday period, while others fit neatly into the weeklong half-term break, making them perfect getaways that offer a complete change of focus and activity. Just what you need to get you through the grey days and long dark nights in winter!

In addition to our Christmas and February half-term holidays, if you're still longing for a snow-fix in Easter, our Finland Family Snow School trip offers departures in March and April. Get one last skiing holiday in before spring really gets underway!

Our winter family holidays have proven so popular that we've introduced two new destinations. Our Winter Montenegro trip visits the country's top ski resorts and includes other snow activities such as snowshoeing, snow tubing and igloo building, whilst our Austria Family Snowshoeing Holiday enjoys hikes in the beautiful region of Salzkammergut.

If that wasn't enough, our popular favourites such as Winter Slovakia, Iceland Explorer and our three trips to Finland continue to bring smiles to the whole family.

So give your family the gift of adventure and explore a world of snow together.
