Family Activity Holidays

Posted on December 13, 2011 by admin

Lazy pool holidays are less and less popular whilst Activity holidays and adventure holidays are the new musts when taking a break next year.  Active holidays with the family are inexpensive and can be taken across Europe either as relaxing weekend Spa breaks or as adventure filled Activity holidays

Europe is packed full of adventures and activities from watersports to mountain activities and most Activity Holidays are perfect for beginners and allow both adults and kids to get active while bonding as a family.

Active weekend breaks in Europe have grown significantly in the last few years and now account for nearly 10% of all short breaks. Activity holidays do not need to be tiring; walking is the number one pleasure or horse riding in Tuscany, or a concert inMilan. If you want a more active holiday then try abseiling, rafting, kayaking or rock climbing. You’ll be coming home feeling refreshed and with muscles you never knew you had.

Multi Activity holidays allow families to choose from various activities and allow each member of the family to enjoy his or her active holiday in their own way and at their own pace.  So whilst Mum goes horse riding, Dad and the kids zoom down mini waterfalls in their raft together with a specialist guide.

The difference between Activity holidays and Adventure holidays is in the experience. Activity holidays are all about the activity and location, adventure holidays are about what you see, the more exotic and adventurous the better!

Activity holidays are set to continue their growth as healthy lifestyles and fun holidays come together in your very own activity break.

Skiing holidays in France offers a wide choice of resorts such as traditional village resorts to large modern linked resorts.

1. The worlds biggest ski areas: Activity Breaks offer skiing holidays to Portes du Soleil. Portes du Soleil has a vast network of a dozen ski resorts straddling both France and Switzerland. Linked by a massive 650km of pistes, the region offers adventure and relaxation in equal measure while surrounded by the picturesque landscape. The ski area of Port du Soleil (Morzine) has 66 pistes for all levels served by 52 lifts; charming high-alpine restaurants and pretty fir forests complete the scene.

2. Easy to reach by rail, air, boat or car: Many of the ski resorts are close to main ski airports in France such as Grenoble, Chambery and Geneva. Turin in Italy is also used as it is close to the French boarder. Many low cost airlines fly to these airports or airports nearby.  Ski resorts can be up to 3 hours drive from the airports but many are within an hour. France is easy to access within Europe with many transport connections.

3. Excellent snow: The French Alps offer some of the highest skiing in Europe. The resort of Chamonix, has one of the longest seasons because it is situated on a glacier. The height and vertical space of these mountains create great conditions for good, skiable snow and the least icy conditions.

 4. Laid back atmosphere: In contrast to most of their European neighbours, the French are not uptight skiers. They prefer a laid back skiing environment with a relaxed atmosphere. The hotels, chalets and apartments on offer in the French Alps are among the most beautiful ski accommodations in the world, which makes it easy to unwind.

 5. Apres ski: This French phrase can be translated as “after ski” and refers to the tradition of having a drink and relaxing in a lively atmosphere after a long day on the slopes. Many French resorts have bars, cafes and restaurants at the top of the slopes.  Apres Ski can also be the activities that don’t involve skiing such as ice skating or snow shoeing.
