2011 Summer Holidays. | New Adventures In Backpacking

With the school holidays in sight, why not take holidays in Britain or just a short flight away.

Alpine activity, France

Coastal Europe hikes up its prices for July and August, but head for the mountains and you can bag yourself some great deals in the ski resorts, where summer is classed as low-season. Esprit Holidays has expanded its range of Family Alpine Summer Adventures, offering accommodation in family-friendly chalet hotels with the option of childcare and multi-activity packages. The Chalet Hotel Mariandre is an Alpine-style property in the French resort of Alpe d?Huez, a short walk from the town?s swimming pools, ice rink and Palais du Sport leisure centre. Adults and older children can choose from daily activities such as zip-wiring, rafting, mountain biking, hiking, glacier safaris and pony trekking, while younger children are looked after in the on-site nursery and Alpies Club.

Toddler tour, Turkey

Explore?s new tour of Turkey aims to make adventure holidays suitable for toddlers. Slow-paced and avoiding hot mid-summer months, it includes a boat trip to the islands, bays and remarkable ?sunken city? of Kekova off the south coast, lunch with local families, a visit to the ruins of Kayakoy, and time to build sandcastles on Patara beach.


Alpine action, Austria

Families looking for full-on thrills will love the Adventure Company?s trip to the village of Kaprun. Cycle through pine forests and dramatic gorges, and take a cable car up the mountain for an exhilarating downhill ride. There?s also whitewater rafting, summer skiing and llama trekking. Minimum age eight.

Bushcraft, Paris, France

Paris might seem an unlikely place to learn survival skills, but head to Eurocamp?s La Croix du Vieux Pont site near Compi?gne and you can do just that. Eurocamp has teamed up with the Woodcraft School to offer bushcraft activities, where families with children eight and over can learn to track animals, forage for food and create fire by friction. The site itself has a climbing wall, zip wire, abseiling and archery.

When you choose your next Holiday Lanzarote is a fantastic option. The Canary Islands are scenic, exotic and offer much variety.
