About Happy Time Tours

Welcome to Happy Time Tours, a company specializing in soft adventure tours, ski/boarding and sightseeing trips. We also give particular attention to our non-skiing trip participants to assure they have an outstanding sightseeing trip.

Happy Time Tours has organized trips since 1979. In the early years most of our trips were to Quebec, Canada. However, in the past 30 years we have organized two trips per year to such exciting destinations as: Bormio, Cortina, Courmayeur, (Italy) - Chamonix, Vald'isere, Val Thornes, Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires, Tignes (France) - Zurs, Lech, St Anton, St Christoph, Innsbruck, (Austria) - St Moritz, Verbier, (Switzerland) - Sierra Nevada, (Spain) - Andorra, Whistler/Blackcomb, British Columbia, (Canada) - Norquay, Lake Louise, Sunshine, Alberta, (Canada) and Garmish (Germany). Extended cities have included Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Vienna, Prague, Venice and Amsterdam.

Our last trip to St. Anton, Austria with an extended side trip to Vienna was a huge success. The snow in St. Anton could not possibly have been any better and was enjoyed by skiers and boarders alike. The meals at the Hotel Kertess and Mooserkreuz were delicious and truly outstanding as one would expect from four star hotels. We kept happily busy skiing and boarding all the trails the Austrian Alps have to offer. We took a day trip to Italy for a unique lunch served just eleven days out of the year and a wine-tasting. It was special. That same day we continued on to Innsbruck, Austria to view the Golden Roof of Harpsburg fame, toured the local cathedral and the Swarovski outlet. We returned to our hotels in time for dinner that evening. Adding to our enjoyment was our favorite guide, Angelica and Peter, our bus driver, who stayed with us the entire week. What a wonderful busy day we had!

Traveling via private motor coach, to our extended city, Vienna, we spent an afternoon in the city of Saltzburg. In Vienna, our hotel Lasalle, was perfectly located on the Danube River. Some of the sites we visited were the State Opera House, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Parliament, City Hall, Mozart’s house, the Leopold Museum and the Schoenbrunn Imperial Palace. In the evening we enjoyed a concert featuring Strauss and Mozart in an historic 400 year old schoolhouse. We attended Easter Sunday Mass in St. Stephen’s Cathedral with the Vienna Boy’s Choir. Awesome describes the whole Vienna experience.

This year's trips to Interlaken, Switzerland with the option of the extended city of Budapest promises another great experience. Click on the Interlaken link on our Home Page for a description of this exciting trip. For those interested in the Big Sky, Montana trip, click on our Big Sky link.

We keep our group sizes low to help keep the cost down and still take advantage of group pricing. We try to have one escort per 20 participants. When you have made your decision to travel, don’t delay in booking – the particular trip you want could fill up and you may be disappointed.

We act as the booking agent for the group making sure everyone receives all the tour features listed in their trip literature. We strongly recommend trip insurance and give all participants the necessary insurance application.

Please review Term and Conditions before registering for any trip to avoid any misunderstandings.

Come join us on our Happy Time Tours dream vacations with nothing but sunny days and picture perfect moments, with wonderful people to share your adventures of a lifetime.

Sincerely,
Joe and Shirley Parent
