Inghams is offering an online discount of £300 per family (based on 2 adults and 2 children) for departures in July and August, by customers book by the 31st May, providing great savings on their summer holidays.

Whilst on their holiday, families can choose from an extensive range of activities such as horseriding through stunning alpine scenery, learning to bake bread at the local farm or kayaking and rafting in fresh water lakes. Each individually selected hotel offers children’s clubs and supervised activities for the kids, spa and health facilities for parents who need some pampering, as well as tennis and fishing for sporty mums and dads.

Litsa Constantinou, Inghams CEO says “Europe’s lakes and mountains are home to some fantastic family-friendly resorts, ideal for those seeking to spend some quality time together in the great outdoors. We are delighted to be able to offer family fun-filled holidays at an excellent price even during the summer season with each one offering a wealth of activities, such as horse-riding  and mountain biking and a number of our packages including meals and added extras such as free ice cream and theme park entry.

“This year we’ve seen a 25% year on year rise in bookings with many more families choosing a lakes and mountains holiday, so we are delighted that we can offer them a tailored break that appeals to the whole family.”

Kids get active in the mountains!

Inghams family holidays are the perfect way to get kids off the sofa, away from the telly and out into the fresh mountain air. With a range of resorts offering an endless choice of action packed activities, such as windsurfing, canoeing, mini golf, tennis, white water rafting and mountain biking, even the mostly lively children will be happily exhausted at the end of each day. Parents can indulge in a lifestyle change too by taking long mountain walks in the fresh mountain air or morning swims in sparkling freshwater lakes.

Added value and Inghams Plus

It is often the little extras that can transform a family holiday. Inghams Plus takes care of those added extras, whether it’s a daily packed lunch, unlimited ice cream, a game of mini golf, a glass of wine to wash down the evening meal or use of mountain bikes.  In addition each family break resort is offering a free FREE activity, excursion or travel card.
