Hibernating in winter? Not us.
There’s a certain kind of magic about a winter vacation. The crunchy snow, the smell of baked cinnamon and mulled wine, the cozy nights by candlelight. Or maybe it's the lucky moments on an Iceland trip when you look up and see the Northern Lights.
Whether it's a delicious grilled sausage at a Christmas market in Munich, snowboarding down fresh powder in New Zealand or trekking across Morocco's snow-dusted Atlas Mountains, winter travel has some pretty epic advantages. Plus, there are way fewer tourists, queues are tiny and your holiday selfies will feature just you and the view. We think a winter trip might be on the cards…

Why travel in winter
By travelling in an off-peak season, you’ll encounter shorter queues at major attractions and have more chances to mix with the locals. You’ll also alleviate some of the impact of high-season tourism on popular destinations and infuse some off-season support into the local community.
Travelling in winter has many benefits, like cute puffer coats and big mugs of hot chocolate. But the benefits to your travel budget also shouldn’t be overlooked. Flights and travel experiences are often cheaper in off-peak seasons, meaning you can use your money to maximise your extras on the trip.
Real life experiences are those moments when you know something special is happening. It could be whizzing across the snowfields of Finnish Lapland on the back of a dog sled, or floating through Venice's misty and (unusually) quiet canals. These unexpected moments are what travelling with us is all about.
Highlights
Join our expert leaders on an adventurous winter trek through Morocco's High Atlas Mountains to the summit of Mount Toubkal – the highest peak in North Africa. With snow-capped peaks, clean mountain air, delicious home-cooked food and unforgettable views with less traffic to share them with, this winter hiking trip is one for the highlight reel.
Fancy hitting the slopes in New Zealand's best ski fields? Whether you're a skiing novice or an experienced snowhound, join us on an exhilarating, powder-packed week in the Southern Alps. With all the logistics taken care of for you and an expert local crew ready to help you polish your skills, you'll be whooshing down these epic mountains in no time.
Iceland doesn't mess around when it comes to jaw-dropping beauty. Spend your days exploring vast lava fields in Skaftafell National Park, taking in the majesty of Gullfoss waterfall, soaking in hot springs and watching the eerily calm waters of the Glacier Lagoon. When the sun goes down, rug up and go searching for the spectacular northern lights in all their colourful glory.
Discover Italy's most iconic places in winter without the constant chit-chat of tourists and scuffling through long queues. Explore the crumbling ruins of Rome's famous Colosseum in solitude, wander through the peaceful streets of Vatican City, tuck into traditional Italian holiday dishes and cruise through the quiet, mist-shrouded canals of Venice – a sight you don't see in the summer
