Winter Adventures in Europe holidays

We might be biased - thanks to our love of all things adventure, skiing and Europe - but we think winter adventures in Europe are some of the best holidays out there for families, couples and solo travellers alike. Swap cold, dark evenings in Blighty for the promise of a snowy adventure wonderland fuelled by adrenaline-filled-fun; or, if you prefer a laid-back style of winter adventure holidays, Europe has something to tempt any and every lover of the Great Outdoors. Venture into the cold on a guided snowshoe trek through enchanting winter landscapes, where you can immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Europe's frozen wilderness or traverse snow-covered hills, valleys and forests, taking in the trees with frosted tips and iced up lakes along the way. If adrenaline-fuelled activities are more your thing on a winter adventure in Europe, then dog-sledding is for you. Lead a team of huskies across frozen lakes and through white-capped forests, before settling down for the evening with some good food and a hot chocolate or two.

Winter Adventures in Europe Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

If you are desperate to hit the slopes the moment you see snow dusting the mountain tops, then let's get skiing. Take your pick from Europe's many ski resorts, including the Alps and Italy's Dolomites. Let us take care of everything from sorting the best luxury resort to your lift passes, so that you can focus on enjoying the pistes. You might fancy heading to the traditional alpine village of Meribel, complete with postcard-perfect wooden and stone chalets and a 'ski-in, ski-out' mantra. The slopes of the Dolomites are great for all snow bunnies, from first-time skiers to seasoned-ski-pros; Cortina is a favourite ski-spot here - ski all day and refuel with delicious food come evening time. Or, if staying on the snow doesn't sound adventurous enough, we can always organise a heli-skiing trip in Sweden to take your ski adventure to new heights.

If you are looking for an epic winter adventure to rival all others, turn your gaze north to the winter wonderlands of Sweden and Norway. Here the options are endless. Join a team of eager huskies ready for dog-sledging through snow-dusted forests in Northern Norway; or go snow-shoeing, ice-driving and snowmobiling around the Luleå archipelago in Swedish Lapland, where there are endless activities fit for both adrenaline junkies and the less daring among us. We can arrange culture-focussed meetings with the indigenous Sami people for lessons in their traditional way of life - all the while be sure to be searching the skies for a glimpse of the Northern Lights, which dance across the night sky. Our fab team of Europe experts are ready and waiting to create your dream adventure itinerary, whether you are looking for an adventurous skiing trip or a snowy Arctic adventure.
