Enjoy a white winter this February half term
Families wishing for a white Christmas can still enjoy a winter wonderland holiday with The Adventure Company.
February half term is a great time for a snow trip, with cross-country skiing, dog sledding and snowshoeing.
Bulgaria, Slovakia and Andorra are all alpine destinations with thick blankets of snow guaranteed – making them perfect winter playgrounds.
The following trips still have availability for February 2010 but, as with all school holidays, families are advised to book early for the best deals on flights.
