Take a multi-activity trip this winter and do more for less
Travellers are realising that snow is good for a lot more than just skiing, according to The Adventure Company. The adventure tour operator has seen its winter multi-activity trips rise in popularity this season as travellers look for more varied and unusual ways to embrace the European winter.
Igloo-building, dog-sledding, ice fishing, and sledging are just some of the options available on The Adventure Company’s trips. With reductions and early booking offers available, adventure-seekers are advised to book soon to avoid missing out.
Almost a quarter of spaces on the Finnish Dogsledding Week - a new trip for early 2010 – were booked within three weeks of the trip being launched in the new Worldwide Adventures brochure and online earlier this month (October 2009). The trip includes a five-day husky dog-sledding expedition beginning in Lapland, Finland, just south of the Arctic Circle – a once-in-a-lifetime experience for travellers.
The new trip includes a stay in the Ice Hotel in Sweden, and has already proved to be popular with all departures over 50% sold already.
Flights over Christmas and New Year are already selling fast, so The Adventure Company has reduced a number of its winter trips to encourage customers to book now. These savings can be found on selected departures of trips to Bulgaria, Slovakia and Finland including:
