Mind if we don't? Bog-snorkelling, seal-hunting, sub-zero naturism - it's hard to believe some breaks are advertised at all. Gavan Naden picks 10 trips you may be better off missing Guardian Unlimited

Extreme naturism

Now, there's nothing wrong with naturism. But surely there is a time and a place for it. And frolicking naked in the Austrian mountains during the winter when all you can see is miles of fluffy snow does not fill either of these criteria. " In the winter it is the custom, for guests to go straight from the sauna outside to douse themselves in the snow," says the blurb for [naturist hotel] Gästehaus Lührmann.

The naturist hotel lies exposed at the foot of the Dachstein mountains and has sun-bathing lawns looking out towards lakes and mountains. And the price for a February in the buff? £1,200 [$2129.00 US] per week, per couple.
