Sample highlights from Intrepid Travel’s Winter Active range include:
Hit the slopes from Christchurch to Queenstown at New Zealand’s best ski fields on Ski New Zealand: 7 Day South Island Snow Safari from AUD$2,160.
“With an increasing demand for experience-rich, active and adventure-based travel, we are excited to launch our new range of Winter Active trips,” says Sarah Clark, Managing Director ANZ at Intrepid Travel. Highlights include sampling four epic mountains considered by locals as NZ’s best-kept-secrets: Porters, Broken River, Mt Olympus/Temple Basin and Craigieburn, and staying ‘on the mountain’ in the tiny ski hamlet of Craigieburn with the ski fields literally outside your front door. As with all Intrepid Travel trips, the local range is 100% carbon offset and designed to have a low environmental footprint while positively impacting local communities. In true Intrepid style, the tours also provide access to iconic ski fields and local ‘untamed’ ski areas very few people get to see.
Intermediate to advanced skiers or snowboarders can enjoy an off-piste adventure in New Zealand’s famed Southern Alps on Ski New Zealand: 5 Day South Island Snow Explorer from AUD$2,110. The range features four new Skiing and Snowboarding trips on the incomparable slopes of New Zealand’s South Island for both beginners and experts alike.
Intrepid Travel, ANZ’s largest adventure tour company, has dropped their first ever Winter Active trips in New Zealand. The guided trips with expert locals will help travellers find the best skiing and snowboarding options to suit their skills and tastes. Highlights include experiencing New Zealand’s finest snow fields at Mt Hutt, Ohau, Treble Cone, The Remarkables, Cardrona and Coronet Peak, and spending a night under a carpet of stars in the world’s largest International Dark Sky Reserve.
“There is a Winter Active trip that suits everyone, and now travellers will be able to experience a variety of diverse destinations and experiences in New Zealand.” Australia is New Zealand’s largest market, contributing an average of 1.5M (40%) arrivals annually and spending $2.7b in the past year. As part of the continuing evolution and growth of their active range, Intrepid is heading to the snow for Skiing and Snowboarding. All Intrepid trips operate under Safe Travel protocols developed and endorsed by the World Travel & Tourism Council. The trips are operated by Intrepid’s latest operating company. despite the impact of COVID-19, Australia’s demand for New Zealand getaways remains strong.
