Best Winter Vacations: Top 10 Winter Getaways
by Cassandra Stinchcombe
Summer is typically the season that everyone thinks of when planning
their vacations. But why not dare to be different and take a winter
vacation getaway instead? If you are a skier, snowboarder, or just
someone who enjoys the winter months, a winter vacation may be just what
you have been looking for. There are plenty of spots around the world
that make spectacular winter getaways.
Hershey. If you are traveling before or during the Christmas season,
consider Hershey, Pennsylvania as your vacation destination. The home of
Hershey's candy, Hershey Park becomes home to Christmas Candyland, where
over one million Christmas lights are put on display. Christmas
Candyland typically runs for a month prior to Christmas.
Sweden. Located in the small riverside village of Jukkasjarvi, Sweden,
Sweden's Ice Hotel is famous worldwide for great winter vacations. The
hotel is created each winter out of 10,000 tons of ice from the nearby
river and 30,000 tons of snow. The hotel features the famous Absolut Ice
Bar, a winter favorite for the 21+ crowd.
Yellowstone. During the winter the Yellowstone National Park, a popular
summer destination in the United States, offers Lodging and Learning
programs where guests of all ages can stay at Yellowstone and
participate in educational lessons during the winter. These programs
offer a great way for visitors of all ages to learn about the beautiful
and fascinating Yellowstone Park.
Wisconsin Dells. This small Wisconsin town offers a great winter
vacation at the Great Wolf Lodge, home of huge indoor water parks. Great
Wolf Lodge is a popular destination for families. Visitors of Wisconsin
Dells get the best of both worlds with summertime perpetually recreated
indoors and snow falling outdoors. Wisconsin Dells is located near both
Milwaukee and Madison, Wisconsin.
New England. One of the most historical areas in the United States, New
England is where the country was founded. In addition to the number of
historical sites throughout the six states that make up the region
(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and
Vermont), you will also find plenty to do in the winter months. Maine
offers one of the nicest ski resorts in the country in Sugarloaf USA, or
you can try the beautiful White Mountain area of New Hampshire where you
will find a plethora of ski resorts and the historical Mount Washington,
the highest peak in the Northeastern United States.
Orlando. If skiing is not really your thing and you are looking to get
away from the snow for a few weeks then travel to Florida, one of the
most frequented states in the US by vacationers each year. Walt Disney
World offers discounted rates during specific periods of the winter
months, considered the theme park's off-season. Not only will the parks
and restaurants be less crowded than during summer or a school vacation
week, but you will be able to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather during
your stay.
Caribbean. Why not take a cruise during the winter months? Like Florida,
a Caribbean cruise offers a change of pace from the snowy, cold winter
months that you may be used to. Winter is typically a perfect time for a
cruise because the weather in the Caribbean has calmed down. Summer is
hurricane season, spelling trouble for cruises but winter is perfect for
calm seas and a relaxing cruise.
Mont Tremblant. Located in the spectacular Laurentian Mountains of the
Canadian province of Quebec, Mont Tremblant offers its visitors over 600
acres of land for skiing and snowboarding. Perhaps the best choice if
you are looking to take to the slopes, keep in mind that the US dollar
is worth more in Canada and can go further than it would on a vacation
in the United States.
Alaska. If you are traveling with children, Alaska may be the perfect
vacation choice for you. Offering everything from dog sledding, one of
Alaska's most popular sports, to viewing the Northern lights, Alaska is
one of the best winter vacation destinations. Although it is notorious
for its cold, wintry weather, Alaska also holds a number of
entertainment options that are likely to keep the whole family busy.
Lake Tahoe. For decades Lake Tahoe has been one of the top winter
vacation destinations in the world. Located on the border of Nevada and
California just west of Carson City, Nevada, you will find that Lake
Tahoe has plenty of activities for everyone in the family. Lake Tahoe
averages 360 inches of snow each year, making for a winter wonderland of
fun on your winter vacation. There are a number of high quality resorts
around picturesque Lake Tahoe and the Rocky Mountains make a fabulous
backdrop for the perfect getaway.
