Inspiration - Learn New Skills

Take the chance to learn something new or develop existing skills on your next adventure!

Holidays to Learn Something New or Improve Your Skills

Why not make your next holiday a learning experience? Would you like to learn to cross-country ski, discover the adventure of hut to hut ski touring, or develop your confidence and technique in sea kayaking? We offer a range of experiences in summer and winter combining activity and adventure with the chance to come home with a new skill or having developed an existing skill.

In addition to the ideas for holidays to learn a new skill given below, note that many of our experiences will offer an instructional element in connection with the activity:

  • Joining one of our guided kayaking, cross country skiing and ski touring or natural ice skating experiences will offer very good opportunities to improve your paddling, skiing or skating skills during the trip, with tips and advice from your guide along the way.
  • Many of our self-guided kayak tours have the option to add an instruction course before your tour begins - ideal for those wishing to refresh their knowledge or for novices who would like greater confidence before beginning the tour. See under "Optional extras" on each experience page for details.

  • Our wide range of dogsled tours will always include instruction on handling the sled and working with your husky team, and of course you'll learn more and gain confidence as the tour progresses!
  • Some of our other guided experiences such as our more challenging hiking trips or backcountry skiing tours are also an excellent opportunity to improve your outdoor knowledge, including in the areas of navigation, wild camping and general mountaincraft.
