Departures: June - September Duration: 14 nights Price: from £878

Snow-capped mountains, frozen glaciers and a variety of winter activities are combined to make this a true winter experience - and what better way to end a crisp clear day in the snow than with a glass of locally produced pinot noir in front of a roaring log fire?!

Introduction

The South Island is simply stunning at the best of times, and can be even more spectacular in the crisp winter months. July and August are potentially the best months to visit – when the weather is cold but clear. Winter sport in New Zealand is in abundance, and there are a range of amazing activities to enjoy – both indoors and outdoors. The Southern Alps of the South Island in particular, often allows better viewing of its magnificent glaciers, lakes and mountains, which are a photographer’s dream.

Snowshoeing, curling and snow-tubing are included in this unique itinerary – try your hand at something new before enjoying spectacular views of the snow-capped Southern Alps from the comfort of your accommodation.
