Two travel trends that are sure to continue through next year are the growing demand for eco-friendly and adventure travel, holidays that leave a minimal imprint on the environment and provide challenging activities.

Ski FreshTracks and adventure ski outfitter based in the UK has launched an all inclusive ski tour to Corsica for February-March, 2010. Skiers will get to experience the real deal, mountain refuge accommodations and a visit to the glacial lakes of Melo and Capitello, (descending from the top for the most stunning views of these lakes).

The cost per person of £1,195 (about $1,895 pp), includes lodging, meals, transfers, mountain guides, avalanche transceiver hire and equipment. (This price does not include flights).

Corsica is ideal for off-piste or backcountry skiing, (skiing over unmarked slopes). This sport involves some risks though, including avalanches and fallen trees, which is why it is important to be accompanied by a guide.

Although Corsica can’t match the Alps as a ski destination, the island offers a spectacular scenery with dozens of peaks measuring more than 2,000 meters and non-existent crowds.

“As people strive to get more from their ski holiday and push the adventure boundaries, we have designed our programme to satisfy those needs” says Caroline Boileau, General Manager of Ski Freshtracks.

Ski Freshtracks concept is ideal for both group and solo skiers and like other guided adventure tours, it offers the chance to meet like minded travelers.
