1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Location was wonderful and we really enjoyed exploring the valley. The staff at all three accommodation places really made an effort to look after us and took time to answer questions both before and during our trip. Really quite exceptional.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Certainly contributed to the livelihood of hotel owners and workers some of whom had grown up in the area. however there is no escaping the fact that importing food to the area, energy use and travel have adverse environmental impacts.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The ice canyoning was a wonderful experience. And I also really enjoyed what I did every day.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
It's a mix of guided and independent activities. I really liked that. Total beginners at cross country skiing would need to be prepared to practice on their own and maybe sometimes take their skis off and walk if a section was too challenging. But advice and routes are available.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes in arrangements. Quite a few of the workers were.local. Some young people from other countries getting experience. Plus I think the more we all meet people from different countries and cultures the better. Emphasis on local food. Hotel working on environmental things inc towels,cleaning etc4.
