Winter discovery holidays –

winter holidays for non-skiers

A winter holiday needn’t involve any skiing. Our ‘winter discovery’ holidays are about enjoying your surroundings at a relaxed pace. Spend your days exploring picturesque towns or castles, strolling along scenic footpaths, watching the world go by from a boat or a horse-drawn sleigh, trying your hand at curling, or simply sitting on a café terrace with a mug of steaming coffee and taking in the view. It's entirely up to you…

Where to enjoy winter without skiing

We offer winter discovery holidays in a range of destinations. Take your pick of a lakeside hotel east of Salzburg in Austria; two holidays in Bavaria in southern Germany, one in the beautiful Berchtesgaden National Park and the other near King Ludwig's fairy-tale castles, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau; a holiday amid the mountains of Switzerland's Bernese Oberland; and a boutique hotel within easy reach of Slovenia’s famous Lake Bled.

Why choose Inntravel for your non-skiing winter holiday

Our winter discovery weeks share three ingredients which are common to all Inntravel holidays: idyllic scenery; charming accommodation offering a friendly welcome; and delicious local cuisine.

Information you can trust

We take great pride in providing comprehensive information about each village and its activities, and we update it constantly. As well as practicalities such as the best hire shop and the ice rink’s opening hours, it includes information about places of interest and local culture, so that you have a rich holiday experience – however you enjoy the snow.
Flexible arrangements

An Inntravel holiday allows you considerable flexibility. We can book flights from your preferred airport, or rail travel all the way from London to the Alps. We can also arrange a room upgrade, ski hire and lessons, or add on a city break to start or end your snow holiday in style. It’s up to you…
Friendly, expert knowledge

If you want a snow holiday with a difference, talk to the friendly experts. Having explored the quiet side of the mountain since 1985, we are well set to help you plan your ultimate holiday away from the crowds. When you call or email us, your questions will be answered by people who have stayed at our hand-picked hotels.
