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 Helm, situated on the edge of the small village Versciaco di Sopra close to the Austrian border. The hotel has been run by the Patzleiner family for a few generations and has retained a wonderful family atmosphere to this day. All food is sourced locally for the traditional Tirolean cuisine served each evening and the family is very involved in recycling all they can. Public buses stop directly outside the hotel so groups can easily access 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.
This small group adventure holiday company offers winter holidays with a difference. From dogsledding through remote wilderness in the Arctic to snowshoeing on an active volcano, if you are looking for a special winter holiday you need look no further. Many of their guides are local and fully trained which means they have exceptional knowledge of their destination and for all winter is a passion. With expertise in cross-country skiing, they have holidays throughout Europe and Scandinavia. So if you fancy building your own igloo, climbing an ice waterfall or simply snowshoeing through sparkling snow-laden forests then this is the company for you.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
