Snow-Filled Escape
A winter getaway can be even more rewarding than a vacation in the summer months. Festive markets, fairy lights, white-capped mountains, and frosty mornings all make bundling up worthwhile for a number of health reasons. It’s been proven that exercising in colder weather kick-starts the body’s system making it easier to burn calories in a shorter period of time. Studies also reveal that cold weather improves endurance—meaning the heart doesn’t have to work as hard. Best of all, winter workouts help ward off seasonal affective disorder, particularly on the days when the sun shines.
Snowy Adventures
Winter sports enthusiasts know that the fun keeps going when the snow falls and the temperature drops. Downhill skiing may be the big draw but cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and tubing are high up on the powder agenda. For those who crave adventures that get the adrenaline going, try snowmobiling, heli-shiking or ice climbing. If off-piste activities are more your speed, downshift and enjoy some yoga and group fitness classes or unwind in a pool at the spa. Ready to hit the slopes yet?
Winter Bucket List
There are some bucket-list-worthy adventures that you can only do when temperatures dip to winter status. The famous Aurora Borealis season is a favorite winter activity and well worth planning a vacation around. The northern lights are spotted in northern polar latitudes (Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Siberia) during winter months when the skies are darkest. Other winter bucket list items include ice fishing, dogsledding, or experiencing a polar plunge—all experiences worth planning a winter vacation around.
