10 Reasons to bring your family on an Upland Escape
Choose to depart and return on any days of the week that suit you, and stay as long as you like (min 3 nights),
thereby taking full advantage of lowest cost budget airline deals. Alternatively travel across mainland
Europe by train in your own family couchette cabin, which can be fascinating, fun, and good for the planet too!
Car hire is included (carbon-neutral of course!) – so you have no struggling with children and cases on crowded public transport, and complete flexibility throughout your holiday to go where you choose, when you choose.
Settle in to a single-centre base in a traditional village: safe for the children to explore, and with no repeated packing/unpacking.
There is no fixed itinerary: you are free each day to do exactly as you please, depending on how your family is feeling: walk, picnic, swim, explore, laze in the sun…
Receive a lavish packed-lunch prepared for you daily, so there is no need for you to rush out each morning to buy provisions for your family.
Choose from a range of easy-to-follow self-guided walks – from ½ hour strolls to full day hikes – to suit the various ages, enthusiasms and fitness levels of your family. Discover caves, streams and waterfalls, canyons and gorges, fields of flowers, lazy picnic spots, and spot wildlife galore.
Take your kids to the top of the world! Join a challenging organised walk (3 days a week) to the summit of a local peak or other less-accessible area. These walks are included in your holiday cost.
Check out the Upland Handbook for other interesting things to see and do, child-friendly activities such as white-water rafting or mountain-biking, where to eat in the evening and more… A complete list of exciting activities for each destination is available on request.
Your children will each get an Upland Explorer activity pack containing lots of things to find, see and experience, encouraging them to really get the most from their holiday.
Relax in the knowledge that if you or your family have a problem, you will receive the full support and help of our Upland Manager who will be based in your village.
