New Orleans

The food, the history, the culture, we dare you to find something that New Orleans doesn’t have to offer. From soulful jazz and world-renowned cuisine, to deep historical roots and unique experiences, adding New Orleans to your travel itinerary brings a whole new level of adventure and charm to your USA ski trip. 

Start your morning like a true local with a NOLA-style coffee and a smorgasbord of beignets at the iconic Café du Monde. Known for its famous chicory-infused coffee, Café du Monde is a cherished spot for locals and visitors alike.

Follow with a day full of culture, history, and maybe even a ‘gator sighting!

History:
Louisiana’s deep and colourful history is some of the oldest in the United States.  From the French Colony of 1723 to legal enslavement of Africans for sugar and cotton plantations, the careful preservation and restoration of these sites and artifacts has created opportunities for visitors to experience Louisiana’s history and gain insights into the diverse cultures that continue to influence the state today. 

Dine:

It’s a well known fact that the deep south of the USA has food worth travelling for and New Orleans has some of the best culinary experiences around. Louisiana has been ranked one of the happiest states and locals are pretty sure the cuisine plays a role in that! Start your day with a classic or flavoured beignet and NOLA style coffee, indulge in fresh seafood like crab or crawfish for lunch and finish the day with a warm gumbo for dinner.

See & Do:

New Orleans has something to offer everyone, history buffs and party animals alike.   Take an airboat tour through the swamps, spotting gators in their natural habitat, stroll through the National World War II Museum and spend your evenings on a steamboat dinner cruise complete with a jazz music show.   For the brave-hearted, a ghost tour offers a look at the city’s more haunted past.

Sign up for a walking food tour to taste local flavors or head out on an excursion to explore the historic plantations along the Mississippi River.
