The annual travel guide for sports lovers
Great expectations #8: A travel series

Do you love travelling and immersing yourself in new activities? Finding the right season for your favourite sport can make all the difference. Whether it’s gliding down snowy slopes, practising your swing, exploring scenic trails or cycling through breathtaking landscapes — there’s a perfect time and place for your next adventure.
Experiences at your leisure
Travelling during quieter periods can offer a more relaxed and intimate experience. With fewer tourists, you are able to take in the beauty of your surroundings without the usual hustle and bustle. From peaceful mountain trails to empty beaches, visiting during less crowded months grants you a more personal and tranquil holiday.
Have fun on a budget
One of the best reasons to travel off-season is cost savings. Accommodations, flights, and activities often come at lower prices, making it easier to stretch your budget. Booking flights during off-peak times can save travelers up to 30% compared to peak season rates. This means more opportunities to experience unique activities, extend your stay, or simply enjoy premium comforts without breaking the bank.
With fewer crowds and a more flexible itinerary, travelling during low-demand periods gives you the freedom to explore hidden gems. Local attractions, charming cafes, and scenic spots often shine in the quieter months.
The adventure of your choosing
While some destinations may have unpredictable weather or seasonal limitations, a little planning and adaptability can go a long way. Whether you're skiing, surfing, cycling, or simply exploring during the less busy months — it opens up new possibilities for adventure and relaxation.
