Packing Essentials

When embarking on a winter holiday, packing the right items is crucial for comfort and enjoyment. Here's a checklist to help you prepare:

  • Warm Clothing: Bring insulated jackets and cosy sweaters to keep the cold at bay. Layering is key, so include items that can be easily added or removed.
  • Waterproof Outerwear: Invest in a high-quality waterproof jacket and snow pants. These are essential for snowy or rainy conditions, ensuring you stay dry and warm.
  • Thermal Layers: Pack thermal underwear and long johns. These base layers will retain body heat and are essential for extremely cold environments.
  • Sturdy Boots: Waterproof, insulated boots with good grip are a must. They'll keep your feet warm and provide stability on icy surfaces.
  • Hats, Gloves and Scarves: Don't overlook these accessories. A warm hat, a pair of gloves and a scarf can significantly increase your comfort.
  • Sunglasses and Sunscreen: The winter sun, especially when reflected off snow, can be quite harsh. Protect your eyes and skin.
  • Moisturisers and Lip Balm: Cold weather can dry out your skin and lips. Bring moisturising creams and lip balm to prevent chapping.
  • Water Bottle: Stay hydrated even in cold weather; a thermos can be useful for keeping drinks warm.
  • Personal Medications and First Aid: Include any personal medications you need and basic first aid supplies for minor injuries.

With these essentials, you’ll be well-equipped to enjoy your winter holiday adventure, no matter how cold or snowy it gets.

My travel partner and myself have just returned from our trip to Switzerland ( May 2024 ) and wanted to put in writing our utmost gratitude to Katelyn Mulgrew and the team from Entire Travel Group for the professional, prompt and extensive service provided from start to finish. Kate was there with us every step of the way and answered any question or concern we had in a patient and understandable way, which left us with reassurance and confidence. Switzerland Grand Tour was amazing with picture postcard scenery at every turn. Every aspect of the booking was flawless, from the hotels, transportation and documentation it all worked seamlessly. Hotels were comfortable, central, welcoming and contained everything a traveller could need. Train travel throughout Switzerland is the only way to go, you just get on sit down and relax while enjoying the ever changing and spectacular scenery. I have, and, will be recommending Entire Travel Group to all my friends for any of their travel needs and, will definately be using them as my go to company for any future adventures. Thank you again to Kate and the team for helping us tick this item off our bucket list.

My husband and I just returned from the most amazing trip that Zoe Condon compiled for us. Everything was perfect. From first enquiry to trip complete, Zoe was always available to answer questions big or small and offer helpful knowledgeable tips. If you are looking to visit Canada do yourself a favour and ask Zoe, her knowledge is 2nd to none. I look forward to dealing with both Zoe and Entire Travel Group for future holidays.

I recently booked a trip to the Maldives with Lisa. Apart from the trip being spectacular, it was a pleasure to deal with Lisa. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. She responded very promptly to any queries even though she was overseas at the time. I can recommend her without hesitation and I am looking forward to booking a return trip to the Maldives with her next year.
