Winter Wonderland Within Easy Reach
Winter sports and a strong dose of culture are on the cards for passengers heading for a winter break from Humberside Airport. With a diverse range of destinations within easy reach, holidaymakers have the option to pack their ski’s and head to one of Austria’s oldest cities or grab their board and indulge in Bulgaria’s slopes.
Innsbruck in Austria and Plovdiv in Bulgaria are both unique destinations, the first having
a reputation that goes before it, the latter providing a low cost ski-holiday option.
Travellers flying out of Humberside Airport will be able to fly direct to Innsbruck in Austria from December 2007. Innsbruck, the Capital of the Alps, is renowned for the quality of its slopes and is the perfect haven for skiers, free riders and snowboarders. Superb ski resorts are in abundance in the region. And when the skiing stops the sightseeing can start, with a wealth of culture waiting to be explored, everything from Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture to modern art, opera and the traditional music of the Tirol.
Picturesque Plovdiv is older than Rome or Athens, is the second largest city in Bulgaria and has 200 known archaeological sites, including a Roman theatre and stadium dating back to the 2nd century. Nestled between seven hills, Plovdiv is ideally situated for access to Bulgaria’s three major ski resorts - Bansko, Borovets, and Pamporovo.
