Here are four fitness vacation ideas for exercise-loving families.

Snowboarding or Skiing Vacation

One of the most popular fitness vacations is a snowboarding or skiing vacation. Both of these holidays take place in breath-taking mountains, so every day you will see beautiful trees, stunning slopes, and clear skies – PLUS you will also do a lot of exercise! In fact, both skiing and snowboarding offer a full-body workout, so if you haven’t tried them before you may want to do some training before you book the vacation. I highly suggest Skiing at the many resorts in Switzerland as they have the most amazing of slopes and views and will ensure an amazing ski trip like non other. You can enjoy skiing from the likes of Geneva To Verbier, both of which are in the beautiful country of Switzerland. Verbier is on my bucket list for sure as it is perched high above the Val de Bagnes on a dramatic south-facing plateau and skiers have been flocking to Verbier for generations.

With all of the skiing adventures that will be had, you will also need to hire or buy equipment for your snow sports trip. You can find the best snowboard bindings online, and you can also buy a board online (although you may want to find one in store to check it fits your bindings).

Hiking Vacation

Hiking vacations are more popular than ever before, so if you settle on this type of vacation, you will have lots of locations to choose from. Hiking vacations are well-suited to families with little fitness experience, as you don’t need to practice or spend hundreds on equipment before you go. All that needs to be done is to find a mountain with lots of beginner trails and maybe even a good tour guide to show you where you’re going. This is why organised adventure vacations can be particularly fun, as much of the guidance and exploration will be mapped out for you. However you will need to pack proper hiking boots, and we suggest breaking these in before you go on vacation; if not, it is likely there will be lots of complaints about blisters!

Surfing Vacation

Do you want to go on a fitness vacation with lots of sun and sea? If so, a surfing vacation could be the best option for your family. There are lots of surf camps in the USA and abroad, and they are normally suited to beginners and experienced surfers. Normally these camps also come with equipment, so you don’t need to buy anything before you go; you just need to turn up and get started! It is also possible to try paddle boarding, kayaking, and snorkeling at most surf camps, so there are fun options for all of the family.

Yoga Vacation

If you prefer the idea of a more peaceful, relaxing fitness vacation, a yoga trip could be a good choice. Yoga is very popular in the USA; in fact, around 36 million Americans practice yoga. This means there are lots of yoga retreats across the US, with some designed for only adults and some designed for families. If you want to bring young children on a yoga retreat we suggest ringing the venue first and seeing if they have classes that are specifically designed for children; if not, your child will probably be reasonably bored for most of the trip!
