FINLAND’S SNOWY WILDERNESS For those who want to


literally leave the beaten track behind, KE Adventure Travel’s Finland Snowshoe Holiday goes off-trail in Hossa National Park, staying in remote candlelit cabins and combining time spent crunching through fresh powder with stops for lakeside saunas and ice swimming. A landscape of snow-blanketed boreal forest and frozen lakes is home to far more reindeer than people, plus elk, lynx, hare, wolves and bears. The package, from £1,225,


includes accommodation, meals, activities, equipment, flights and the services of a tour leader. keadventure.com

MOROCCO’S LESSER-KNOWN CITIES


Although On The Go Tours’ seven-day Northern Morocco Explorer tour starts in Marrakech, which can hardly be described as off the beaten track, it quickly moves to less obvious places, including the old medina in Casablanca, the imperial city of Meknes, the Roman settlement of


Volubilis and the holy city of Moulay Idriss, which was only opened to non-Muslims in 2005. Then it’s on to atmospheric, well-preserved Fes; Chefchaouen, the Rif mountains city known for its blue-washed buildings; and the port of Tangier. Prices start from £645, excluding flights.

ALICANTE’S SECRET MOUNTAINS


Just 15 miles from the bustle of Alicante, clients will find unspoilt mountains where they can take long,


peaceful walks from historic villages through fertile valleys dotted with almond and olive groves, and up craggy limestone peaks to Moorish watchtowers and caves housing 8,000-year- old Neolithic paintings. Inntravel’s five-day Alicante’s Secret Mountains itinerary, from £615, includes four nights in hotels and inns with meals included, and self-guided walking with luggage transport, but excludes flights. Overnights are in the tiny, traditional Spanish villages of Tàrbena and Castell de Castells. inntravel.co.uk
