-- Out-of-the-Ordinary Winter Vacation Ideas--
"Family Adventures" are high-quality escorted small-group tours that typically offer a multi-sport experience in the Great Outdoors. Though not for the faint of pocketbook, this family travel niche is well-established, with a number of tour companies offering memorable hassle-free every-day-is-a-peak-experience type of tours.
Most take place in summertime, but families can find some winter adventures too. For example:
