“It was always going to be difficult to organise a family holiday with active children but this was perfect for us. We were out and about every moment of the day exploring the mountains on foot and bike. There was so much to do in such little time we will certainly be back for longer next time.”

“We never imagined doing something so spectacular as a family and were recommended Cortina by Powder Byrne. The holiday was so well organised we didn’t have to worry about anything. The climbing was something we could all do together and our guide was so accommodating and kept us safe. Thank you to the team for a memorable experience.”
