An Australia-based travel company (with a London office) has launched a new month-long ski 'holiday' to Antarctica. Scheduled to set off from southern Argentina in just over a year's time on 19th November 2017, prices for the trip start at £20,495
Chimu Adventures are an experienced Antarctic operator and are offering those who can afford it the chance to sail to Antarctic and along the coast, hiking up to earn turns on the unspoilt continent. Only five people will be able to book on to the company's purpose-built yacht, meaning that the exact itinerary can potentially be flexible.
"Join us to ski pristine slopes, seek virgin terrain and, if conditions allow, attempt to climb unique peaks, revelling in an extreme ski experience on this incredible continent," the operator's website enthuses, adding, "This is not an adventure of a lifetime for just anyone. Only real Adventurers need apply!"
Those real adventurers must be good skiers and agree to undertake some prior training in roped glacier travel and crevasse rescue offered as a three day add on package based in the southern Argentinian city of in Ushuaia.
"Team members must also be equipped with an 'expedition mentality'. This is no package cruise this is a true travel adventure!" Chiumu adventures warn.
The price includes pretty much everything on the trip, even ski rentals and a limited amount of apres ski beers, but does not include travel to Argentina.
