Husky sledding, skiing and walking with wolves: 10 winter adventures to try around Britain

Icy dips, snow shoeing and the northern lights are also among our pick of fabulously frosty experiences

The Malvern Hills might not be the most obvious place for a dog-sledding adventure, but Arctic Quest, situated just outside Tewkesbury, offers thrilling rides and a chance to get fully involved with the pack. With only four people per session, visitors get plenty of hands-on time with the dogs, before learning how to “mush”, and embarking on a first brief ride. Once you’re feeling confident, the trails get longer and the dogs move faster, until you’re “mushing” at considerable speed. Afterwards, there’s a chance to swap stories over warming drinks around the campfire.
The two-hour Full Mushing Experience costs £120pp; arcticquest.co.uk
