Family Winter
Adventure Holidays 2009

People lured to stay in the UK by talk of a ‘barbeque summer’ this year may now be rueing their decision and considering a winter holiday instead. The Adventure Company has some fantastic winter trip ideas to suit all budgets and requirements.

Best For Snow Lovers

For families wanting an active winter adventure, how about going on a Bulgarian Winter Experience, to enjoy cross country skiing, snowshoeing, animal tracking and star gazing. This snow-filled week of adventure is based in the spectacular limestone gorges and peaks of the Rhodope Mountains. The village of Chepelare boasts the country’s longest ski run but its impressive range of downhill and cross-country trails are altogether quieter than in neighbouring resorts.

Best For Sun Seekers

Egypt is one of the closest destinations to the UK for winter sun, also offering great value on the ground. A two-day Felucca cruise along the Nile is one of the highlights of the 10 day Felucca Adventure in Egypt, with train, horse-drawn carriage and donkeys being amongst the other forms of transport that you can experience, all helping immerse travellers in to the Egyptian way of life. The trip also includes all of Egypt’s iconic sights, including the pyramids, the Sphinx, Aswan, the Valley of the Kings, the temples at Luxor, plus Cairo, where there is free time to explore and test haggling skills at the bazaars.

Best For Culture Vultures

Latin America meets the Caribbean if you choose to join the Viva Cuba! trip, which combines fascinating culture and history with stunning scenery and tropical beaches. With warm temperatures on hand to cheer up your winter blues, Cuba is the perfect destination if you wish to escape the winter weather in the UK. The adventure starts in Havana with it's classic American cars, echoes of Hemingway and the sound of salsa beats drifting in the streets. Elsewhere on the 12-day trip, you will walk through the tobacco fields of Viñales, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Trinidad, visit colonial towns and relax on the beaches at Baracoa.

Family Holidays In Bulgaria
Bulgaria offers long, sun-drenched sandy beaches and wonderful mountain scenery as well as great skiing. It is still relativly affordable compared with many other European destinations, so a holiday in Bulgaria offers great value to travellers from the UK.

Off The Wall Family Holidays
Although a sand, sea and sun package might be just what you're after for this year's holiday, don't let having a family in tow deter you from going on a holiday with a difference. Here Responsible Travel, specialists in holidays which respect the environment and give something back to the places and people that you visit, give us just a few ideas from their wide selection of extraordinary and unconventional holidays for families.

Trunki Towgo
The Trunki Ride-On Suitcase has been one of the big success stories of the BBC’s ‘Dragon’s Den’. The suitcase, designed especially for children, has a double purpose; not only can children pack their own toys and belongings for a holiday in their own easy-to-use case (which is hand luggage approved), but if they are bored waiting in an airport lounge the suitcase becomes a fun ride on toy that they can whizz around on, or just use as the perfect child-sized seat to rest their weary legs in a long queue.
