One week or short break all-inclusive press trips available until 30 November - including October half term.

For journalists with school-age children, the end of the long summer break can mean only one thing - planning how to entertain them at October half term! Meanwhile, those with babies and pre-schoolers benefit from being able to travel now, when crowds are less and warm temperatures still linger across Europe. Either way, Kinderhotels (www.kinderhotels.co.uk) has the answer...

Offering child-friendly fun and fabulous facilities in spectacular mountain and lake-side settings, Kinderhotels is a unique collection of 38 family-run properties where "children are not just tolerated, but treasured". A well-respected Austrian brand in the German-speaking market for nearly 25 years, Kinderhotels remains relatively undiscovered by UK families - who are missing out on the chance to enjoy a great value, all-inclusive break with no hidden extras from as little as £1,495 per family per week*. Add to this an array of activities - ranging from panning for gold on a pirate ship for the little ones to supervised rafting, canyoning and torchlight hikes for teens, and spa facilities for frazzled parents...plus up to 60 hours a week of free child and baby care, and easy travel arrangements  (by two-hour direct flight and pre-arranged Kinderhotels' transfer) and it's little surprise that our European neighbours have been keeping this secret to themselves!

* Price is based on a family of four staying in a four-star hotel, year-round, excluding flights.

Kinderhotels has a limited number of private press trip opportunities available for journalists able to travel to Austria before the end of November 2013. Each trip will include flights and all-inclusive accommodation for up to two adults and two children (aged up to 12) sharing a family room. Week-long trips and short break options are available. Confirmed PRINT commissions only sought at this stage (minimum circulation of 50/60,000 copies).
