Skiing & much, much more....

For active holidays in the snow, or a short break in spectacular winter scenery, our Skiing & Much More brochure contains a host of holiday ideas, from winter walking and snow-shoeing to cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and even dog-sledding, in some of Europe's best winter destinations.

Stop press

The season's first snow has been reported in the Alps this week. Early signs are that we are in for a good covering this coming season...

Winter activities

October's here and now's the time to start thinking about how to have some fun in the snow this winter. Our award-winning holidays give you a huge choice of destinations and a whole range of exciting snow-based activities to indulge in. Whether you prefer the quieter side of life or are looking for something a little bit different, we are sure we have the perfect holiday for you. When it comes to skiing, you'll find something for everyone. We seek out villages whose slopes and facilities are excellent but remain relatively unknown leaving you to enjoy the exhilaration of downhill or cross-country skiing without the crowds of many modern resorts.

Leave the crowds behind

If skiing is not for you - or you simply want to try something different - try winter walking, snow-shoeing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, dog-sledding in Norway, ice-fishing, curling or ice-skating instead. On an Inntravel winter holiday, you can be as active or as 'inactive' as you like. We provide the perfect setting for your holiday - welcoming hotels in traditional mountain villages offering a range of winter activities amid spectacular scenery - you choose how to enjoy the snow. At several of our villages we offer Try It Out Weeks so that you can have a go at something new in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Try skiing, snow-shoeing or even have a go at handling a dog sled.

Hand-picked hotels in unspoiled villages

The tranquillity of the villages will come as a pleasant surprise, too. Some are tiny, secluded places, others are larger, with various shops and cafes, but all remain charmingly unspoiled, so different from the hectic whirl of a modern ski resort. Whatever you choose - a cosy hotel with a special intimacy or a stylish 4-star hotel with a spa and swimming pool - you can expect high standards of comfort, delicious regional cuisine and first-rate hospitality - we have worked with most hotels for many years and our strong relationship with the owners means you are looked after very well. For a hotel with a spa, try the Hotel Weisenhof in Pertisau, or the Inntalerhof in Mösern.

Family fun in the snow

If you are looking to have a family winter holiday this year, we have a whole range of family friendly hotels and family activities for you to choose from. The Ylläshumina Hotel in Finland has an unrivalled range of activities to try and boasts the largest and best cross-country network, for all levels, in Finland. At the Hotel Edelweiss in Engelberg Switzerland, owners Peter and Susanne Kuhn extend a genuine welcome to you and cater for families with children of all ages, offering a weekly programme of events plus a playroom with free supervision daily from 5pm to 9pm.

Great winter journeys

If you prefer to admire wintry landscapes from the comfort of a train or boat, we also offer a unique range of winter journeys. You can make a memorable journey from Toulouse through the narrow gorges and high plateau of the Pyrenees on your way to Barcelona, the vibrant capital of Catalonia; take the unforgettable Glacier Express through the incomparable grandeur of the heart of the Alps from Chur to Berne; experience the special atmosphere of Austria's three greatest cities, Innsbruck, Salzberg and Vienna; journey by boat on a great coastal voyage deep in the Arctic Circle or discover the spectacular Tyrolean Alps on your way from Innsbruck to the enchantment and charm of Venice in winter.

We want you to experience your perfect winter holiday, and we attach great importance to helping you choose the place that is right for you.
