Germany - Bavarian Activity Week - Family adventure Trip
1 week: UK to The Bavarian Alps (GBAW)
With fast flowing rivers and towering mountain scenery you can’t fail to be impressed by Bavaria’s alpine beauty. Our activity leader Thomas is amongst the best in Europe and has run training, activity and team building camps for the British Army since 1993. Our accommodation is family owned and offers a warm welcome and traditional evening entertainment. Wonderful landscapes, thrilling activities and a friendly Bavarian atmosphere all combine to make this a fun-filled and memorable family holiday.Accommodation
Our accommodation is atthe Gasthof im Wiesengrund in Bad Hindelang. The guesthouse comprises en-suite doubles, twins and family apartments sleeping up to 6 people. The bedrooms are 200m from the main building providing a quiet and tranquil setting. The hotel provides traditional Bavarian entertainment (lederhosen and all) in the evenings and there is a large open air public swimming pool next to the main building. Additionally, in 2005, the Gasthof added a small solarium with a Finnish sauna and a tanning bed.
Itineraries
SundayFlights, Arrivals and welcome
On arrival at Friedrichshafen Airport we transfer to your accommodation in Bad Hindelang. After settling in, there will be an introductory meeting with your guide for the week followed by a welcome meal.
Team Treasure Hunt
A treasure hunt with a real difference is the best possible way to start your activity week and get acquainted with the other families on the holiday. You will have to negotiate all sorts of tasks in order to find the treasure including: a spider’s web, building a rope bridge, tree climbing, archery, a flying fox zip wire over a deep gorge, a team skiing competition and Sumo wrestling! Quite simply it’s fun and laughter from start to finish. Barbecue lunch included.
Tubing
It’s wet but not wild on the River Iller, which makes it ideal for tubing.
We spend the day twisting and turning on the beautiful stretch between Oberstdorf and Sonthofen. An hilarious experience!
Canyoning
Today we take you to a family friendly canyon for an exhilarating river descent. Enjoy natural rock slides, abseiling or jumping into pools as you descend the course of the canyon.
Free Day
Free day to relax, swim at the public pool opposite your accommodation or explore the area by visiting Neuschwanstein Castle or try additional activites.
High Ropes Adventure Course
Our high ropes course is set in the forest above the village of Sonthofen.
You will work your way through a number of rope tasks, each creating a unique problem and requiring a different technique.
Mini-Rafting
Crossing the border into Austria we head for the Lech River. Mini-Rafting is rather like white water rafting but, as the name suggests, in smaller inflatables and with less people. This gives you far more control over your raft and a far greater sense of individuality. A fabulous way to explore any river. There will be a farewell dinner this evening.
Depart or Extend Your Stay
Today we transfer you back to the airport for your return flight or you may choose to extend your stay either in the Allgau Region, Austria or down by the Bodensee close to the Swiss/German border - the choice is yours!
