How this holiday makes a difference

UK office
It all starts at home so we have first worked to reduce our carbon footprint in our UK offices. Through energy conservation measures and recycling policies in place, we are proud to be actively reducing the waste produced and our impact on the environment. We support various projects all over the world to try and give something back to the places we visit.

Leaders & local suppliers
Our base for the week is Hotel Tschurtschenthaler, a small family run hotel perfectly located in the centre of Dobbiaco. We have worked with this hotel for many years so all our groups receive a warm welcome from the family. Thanks to the excellent location of the hotel, our groups are able to use public transport every day to take them to the start of cross-country skiing trails. All our leaders are committed to Responsible Tourism and have received training and get additional refresher training on a regular basis so they can help you reduce you impact and maximise the benefits to the local communities from your visit.

Activity
Our selection of alternative winter activities seeks to make the most of the natural environment in its pristine state, rather than changing it. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and dogsledding are best suited to remote wilderness areas and the development of these alternatives is key to the long-term survival of many mountain communities.

Reviewed 28 Feb 2011 by Mary Ryan5 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Skiing cross the lake, making tracks in the snow & trying to take in the fantastic scenery. (Dog sledding was wonderful, too!)

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Make sure you are as fit as you can be so you get the most from the holiday.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes - this was a low-impact holiday. To minimize impact even further, use the train to travel from Oslo to Rondablikk.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


FANTASTIC! Ingrid made sure that everyone in the group made progress, was included and was enjoying themselves, a real "knack" considering the diversity of the group.
