Episode 1/27

@ Dashing Through the Snow
Nutella and Bahama have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover:
Ski & Skate
Today's trip is on a modern train with spacious seats and large windows to enjoy the passing winter scenery. The train's first stop by a frozen lake allows the pets the opportunity to stretch their legs with a little skating! Let's hope there are no frozen paws from this adventure! The trip then proceeds to skiing grounds with steep snowy slopes, cable cars, chair lifts and an Olympic ski jump! The pets can also turn their paws to snowboarding if they wish. The pets will meet a cute little critter also trying to ski. Back on board the train at the end of an action-packed day, the pets will have the thrill of seeing the Northern Lights as they travel home in the setting sun to that night's lodging. There they will enjoy a warming milky coffee and a bowl of hot soup by the wood-burning stove in the dining room, while admiring the snowy scene outside.
Dashing Through the Snow
While an aeroplane might get you to your final destination more quickly and efficiently, nothing can surpass the romance and sightseeing opportunities of a journey by train. Just try to make sure you get a window seat to capture the breath-taking views of snowy peaks!

Episode 2/27

@ McCabe's Forest Rail Track
“Seeing these places makes me want to go to stay for a week or two, Nutella,” remarked Jasper. "It's so different!"
"Well, I guess that's the point of travel, isn't it?" said Nutella. "To broaden your horizons and so on."
McCabe's Forest Rail Track
Cold, bracing snowy weather is grand in theory. However, if your paws start to go numb and the chill creeps its way through your fur, it can start to lose its attraction. The answer is a train journey, where you can look out across sweeping white vistas or forests of trees lightly trimmed with snow, without having to get your scarf on!

Episode 3/27

@ Like a Bridge over Frozen Water
“What have you got in your tote bag, Flutterbye?” asked Tweety Pi. “It looks very full!”
“I’ve come prepared for anything snowy, Tweety Pi,” responded Flutterbye. “There’s snowshoes, snow boots, Wellington boots, a pair of grippy things, some ear muffs—you name it, I’ve got it!”
Like a Bridge over Frozen Water
Will your pet cross this ornate bridge or skate over the frozen river to the other bank? The bridge is set against a backdrop of bare trees, grey sky and far-distant mountains with a foreground of snowdrifts.

Episode 4/27

@ Frozen Lake Rink
"This is fabulous, Juniper," enthused Nutella. "I'll have this photo printed and framed and display it next to my plush reindeer that I got in the little gift shop near Snow Beach and the mother of pearl model of the Taj Mahal from Icon!"
"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Nutella!" said Juniper.
Frozen Lake Rink
Nowadays rinks of artificial ice are commonplace in all countries. In former times skating could only be enjoyed when the weather was cold enough to freeze a lake or river to thick ice, allowing skaters to enjoy a game of curling or ice hockey or just enjoy pirouetting on the chilly, frozen surface!

Episode 5/27

@ Waiting for Skating
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Nutella!” said Starlight. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my gloves?"
Nutella good-naturedly took charge of Starlight's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some shopping receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the gloves right at the bottom. These she donned and then Nutella helped her put everything back in her rucksack.

Waiting for Skating
Get your skates on! Whether you enjoy figure skating and the performance of spins, jumps and dance movements, speed skating or even ice hockey, proper skates are essential!

Episode 6/27

@ Train Pane
“Seeing these places makes me want to go to stay for a week or two, Nutella,” remarked Rowan. "It's so different!"
"Well, I guess that's the point of travel, isn't it?" said Nutella. "To broaden your horizons and so on."
Train Pane
One benefit of travelling by train as opposed to by car is the fun of being able to relax in one's seat and watch the passing towns and countryside.

Episode 7/27

@ Steep Alpine Sweep
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Nutella," said Sam, "for this experience alone?"
Nutella, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Steep Alpine Sweep
Being in the mountains has a huge benefit on both our physical and mental health. Skiers will talk about the adrenalin rush of the slopes but also the pleasure gained from being in nature and having social interaction. Beyond the physical benefits, exposure to the natural surroundings of the mountains during exercise appears to provide an additional boost to our psychological well-being and aids in recovering from stress.

Episode 8/27

@ Snowboard Colour Splash
“You know how some pets spend weekends at special old steam engine stations where they can volunteer to be a ticket collector or the guard, the firepet or even the driver? You don't get that with modern railways, do you?" said Koo.
Nutella pondered for a while. "Well, no," she conceded. "I can't say that modern trains have the same romance attached to them."
Snowboard Colour Splash
What can beat the pure thrill of snowy mountains in winter? Snowboarding through awesome mountains evokes a myriad of emotions, which are at a natural high at altitude – who better to share it all with than one’s fellow pets?

Episode 9/27

@ Ski Row
“You know how some pets spend weekends at special old steam engine stations where they can volunteer to be a ticket collector or the guard, the firepet or even the driver? You don't get that with modern railways, do you?" said Loop-de-Loop.
Nutella pondered for a while. "Well, no," she conceded. "I can't say that modern trains have the same romance attached to them."
Ski Row
After a tiring but exhilarating day on the slopes, it's time to doff our skis and enjoy the après ski evening, where we will cosily plot our next ski adventure! What plans we make! It's not necessary to have a lively party; a quiet hot milky coffee with two or three friends after a day's fun on the slopes gives us the chance to bond and get ready for the morrow's pleasures.

Episode 10/27

@ Snow Drift Ski Lift
“You have to admit, a modern train is faster and more comfortable than a steam train, Tommy," said Nutella.
"Yes, but look at all those ugly overhead wires it needs to run, Nutella!" replied Tommy. "Instead of beautiful plumes of smoke in the cold air!"

Snow Drift Ski Lift
Skiing enthusiasts love it all, from the crisp, fresh bite of the air on arrival at the resort, the contrasting warmth of chalets; the icicles hanging from roofs; twinkling fairylights in the streets and the bursts of convivial laughter and applause from restaurants and bars where pets enjoy themselves after a day on the slopes!

Episode 11/27

@ Skiing Adventure Starts
"Wasn’t it worth coming all this way, Nutella," said Mrs Wabbit, "for this experience alone?"
Nutella, admiring the scene they were now in, heartily agreed!
Skiing Adventure Starts
You and your fellow pets may prefer to mostly ski together, but perhaps sometimes the more advanced skiers will tackle a challenging route down the mountain and you then meet at the bottom of the slope. A shared love and appreciation for snow makes for the perfect, spectacular and memorable holiday on the slopes.

Episode 12/27

@ Stunning Snow Slope
“What's a typical après-ski meal?" asked Nutella.
"Icebergers!" declared Stella.
Stunning Snow Slope
What does skiing mean for you? Is it rising with the sun; having the exhilarating crisp mountain air hitting your face, making a unique wake-up call! Let's not forget the huge sense of freedom as your skis cut through freshly fallen powder, merrily zigzagging down the slopes whooping, laughing and joking, then sitting on a peaceful ski lift putting the world to rights against the stunning backdrop of Alpine views.

Episode 13/27

@ Surpassing Slope
“I always worry the ice will give way beneath me on these frozen lake rinks, Venus!" said Nutella.
"The ICE is gonna BREAK!" replied Venus in a very passable Christopher Walken accent.
"That doesn't help allay my nerves," remarked Nutella somewhat distantly.
Surpassing Slope
Don't these pristine, pure white slopes make you want to don ski suits and boots and glide down breathing in cold, fresh air? And while doing so, wondering, "What is that strange human figure on yon mountainside?"

Episode 14/27

@ Heart Thumpin' Ski Jumpin'
Nutella opened her rucksack to find her hat. Katrice could see Nutella had a beret, a balaclava, a cricket cap, a Tam o' Shanter, a woolly bobble hat, a beanie, a deerstalker hat and a Peruvian chullo!
“Did you bring a Stetson too?” Katrice asked Nutella.
Heart Thumpin' Ski Jumpin'
You have to admire the engineering that's gone into this high ski jump. Is your pet brave enough to start at the very, very top and whoosh swiftly downwards?

Episode 15/27

@ Winter Skiing Holiday
“I always worry the ice will give way beneath me on these frozen lake rinks, Summer!" said Nutella.
"The ICE is gonna BREAK!" replied Summer in a very passable Christopher Walken accent.
"That doesn't help allay my nerves," remarked Nutella somewhat distantly.
Winter Skiing Holiday
Whoo-hoo! An exhilarating skiing holiday starts with the ski lift while you gaze at the blue skies, snowy peaks and watch your fellow holiday-makers having fun in the snow!

Episode 16/27

@ Uplifting White Vista
“It's embarrassing to be staggering round the skating rink trying to get used to the boots and a young lemur sails past doing a pirouette, Rose," grumbled Nutella.
"Practice makes perfect, Nutella!" responded Rose.

Uplifting White Vista
Do you ever get that feeling of having left your stomach behind? This high ski lift offers 360° views over a snowy panorama.

Episode 17/27

@ Roaming Gnome
“What's a typical après-ski meal?" asked Nutella.
"Icebergers!" declared jimkitty.
Roaming Gnome
If you keep a careful lookout this winter you might spot this endearing gnome in his jaunty red and white cap, navigating on small wooden skis with a ski pole clutched in each hand!

Episode 18/27

@ Ski Spree
Pynelope and Nutella were chatting about the concept of hygge.
"Apparently the Dutch have a word for it, too," said Nutella. "Gezelligheid".
"I guess we could say 'cosiness', Nutella? Even if it's not quite the same?"
Ski Spree
What a thrill to race downhill, your momentum increasing as you go, and the only sounds in the clean, bracing mountain air being the swish of your skis on the crisp, pure white snow and the flurry of ice spray flung behind as you speed along.

Episode 19/27

@ Aurora Borealis in Snow Scene
Puddle Rumchuckle was distracted by the sounds of loud rustling as Nutella unfolded a very large tourist map, in the course of which she succeeded in knocking Puddle Rumchuckle’s hat off. “Put that away, do!” said Puddle Rumchuckle, exasperated. “We’re about to pose beside this amazing scene—the picture will be of your map if you don’t fold it up PDQ!”
Aurora Borealis in Snow Scene
The aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is one of the most spectacular displays in the night sky. These changing light patterns have fascinated and inspired for centuries. These swirling patterns of turquoise, with the bright moon in the background and the snowy landscape in the foreground make this an amazing picture.

Episode 20/27

@ Sunset Rail Journey
“A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Nutella?” Maybelle said.
“It certainly would, Maybelle!" said Nutella.
Sunset Rail Journey
What a journey awaits on board this train travelling through pine forests! What lies beyond that tantalising bend round the corner? Sit back and enjoy the scenery as the sun tinges the treetops with golden light.

Episode 21/27

@ Coffee with Steamed Milk Flower
“Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Nutella!” said Snowball. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my gloves?"
Nutella good-naturedly took charge of Snowball's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some shopping receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the gloves right at the bottom. These she donned and then Nutella helped her put everything back in her rucksack.

Coffee with Steamed Milk Flower
It adds to the fun of going to your town's coffee shop: when your barista puts in front of you a hot, freshly made, foam-topped cappuccino, complete with beautiful artwork! What magic! A beautiful steamed-milk decoration looks like it must be very difficult to do, but once you get the knack, it really doesn't take very long to do at all! So make that drink look extra-special!

Episode 22/27

@ Snow View Lounge
"This is fabulous, Millie," enthused Nutella. "I'll have this photo printed and framed and display it next to my plush reindeer that I got in the little gift shop near Snow Beach and the mother of pearl model of the Taj Mahal from Icon!"
"You'll have a fine collection of mementos, Nutella!" said Millie.
Snow View Lounge
This lounge/dining area, with ample seating and warm tones provides a comfortable respite from touring in the snow! Superb views are visible from the large window area. Pets will love to congregate round the wood-burning stove of an evening!

Episode 23/27

@ Spacious Family Room
“Hey, have you seen what the next stop is, Nutella?” said Sweet Pea. "It looks fantastic!"
"I'll get my camera ready," said Nutella.
Spacious Family Room
This living space is minimalist yet comfortable, providing plenty of seating for pets to sprawl out and relax, while the laminate floor offers opportunities for marble races! Plenty of light is admitted by two large windows overlooking the garden.

Episode 24/27

@ Serene Piano Room
“It's embarrassing to be staggering round the skating rink trying to get used to the boots and a young lemur sails past doing a pirouette, choco," grumbled Nutella.
"Practice makes perfect, Nutella!" responded choco.

Serene Piano Room
If you incline towards a clean, minimalist look, then white walls are the perfect base. The hallmark of this peaceful and uncluttered look is lots of white—particularly on the walls—with touches of muted brown, blue and cream on the elaborate rug also have a calming influence, while the view to the garden outside and the piano add a serene touch.

Episode 25/27

@ Cauliflower Soup with Cheese
“What have you got in your tote bag, Flutterbye?” asked Tweety Pi. “It looks very full!”
“I’ve come prepared for anything snowy, Tweety Pi,” responded Flutterbye. “There’s snowshoes, snow boots, Wellington boots, a pair of grippy things, some ear muffs—you name it, I’ve got it!”
Cauliflower Soup with Cheese
Mmmm ... just the thing for a cold winter's night, a nourishing bowl of cauliflower soup with a sprinkle of Leicestershire cheese for added deliciousness ...

Episode 26/27

@ Happy Hound
Nutella is tired out and ready to go home when Silky comes along. "Wow! You find a special prize!" says Silky. Nutella turns round and found it was just behind them!
Frosty Townhouse Facades
What is going on behind the stately facade of these town houses? Can you picture pets enjoying hot soup, trying on a new coat or scarf, playing games or just basking by the fire? Are their windows lit up with cosy glowing lights or do they have thick curtains drawn close against the wintry cold?
Happy Hound
Ah-h-h! Who wouldn't feel relaxed just looking at this blissed-out pet asleep on his favourite cushion in the light of the fire? "Contentment" just about sums it up!
