Off-Season Travel Guide
Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Beat the crowds on an off-season travel adventure to Corsica, where the coast is wild and peaceful and the cities are free of their usual summer crowds. Snowshoe around the Val d’Ese resort and set off into the mountains on a culinary tour to sample Corsica’s hearty cuisine (ideal in winter). Or, if you’d prefer to take advantage of the quieter season with something more octane, head to California on a nine-day ski and surf adventure. Learn to ride waves like locals off Venice Beach before making your way to Mammoth Mountain for a run down its snowy pistes.
It’d be equally difficult to say no to an alpine escape to northern Italy’s Lake Garda. Swap its scorching summer temperatures for snow-capped peaks, scenic hikes and off-the-tourist-trail celebrations such as Natale tra gli Olivi. Promoting and selling local crafts, festive produce and seasonal dishes, it is the perfect example of our key sustainability concept, Kintsugi Travel, and one of its positive impact innovations, Community-Based Tourism. Concerned with keeping money in communities through authentic experiences and their own locally run accommodation, off-season travel gives you the opportunity to really experience it – especially if you choose a ‘green season’ safari adventure to Kenya’s Maasai Mara, where it’s just you, the verdant African bush and unparalleled game viewing.
