Ski & Winter Holidays
Ski & Winter Holidays
For many travellers, a winter holiday means heading to the mountains. Renowned ranges such as the Swiss Alps, the Italian Dolomites, Canada's Rocky Mountains and the majestic peaks of Colorado become transformed by pristine snowfall, creating world-class skiing and snowboarding conditions.
Winter holidays also offer far more than time on the slopes. Across the world, snowy landscapes provide the perfect setting for a range of memorable experiences, from husky sledding and snowmobiling to outdoor thermal spas and traditional Christmas markets. Families can enjoy magical trips to Lapland, where children can meet Santa Claus and experience scenic reindeer sleigh rides through snow-covered forests. Winter is also the best times to see the ethereal Northern Lights.
With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for a successful ski and winter holiday. Our expert travel consultants are mines of information, gathered from personal travel experience and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.

Ski & Winter Holidays Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Kelly Mills
Ski holidays require a lot of preparation, so make a kit list in advance of your trip to ensure you have all your essential items. Don’t forget sunscreen and lip balm and remember to take a pair of sunglasses with you for lunch – eating in your goggles is not a good look!
Kathryn Hodgson
Start prepping for time in the mountains a few weeks before heading out - add a few squats and stretches to your day before you leave home and your legs will thank you when you hit the slopes!
Tom Bonavia
Remember there is so much more to the mountains than just skiing and boarding - save some time for dog sledding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, tubing… the list goes on! For a real treat for sore limbs and to shake off any jet lag, be sure to book in some r 'n' r in the hot tub or even the outdoor spa's.
