The travel-quest winter walking section is intended for hiking and walking holidays during the winter months and involving walking in snow and ice, or for courses teaching the skills required for walking and hiking in these conditions (such as the use of crampons, ice axes, winter navigation and survival). If you offer mixed activity holidays then these activities must be a significant component. See the walking / trekking / hiking index for separate sections covering other types of walking holiday.
