Getaways: Top 10 Places
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.
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
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.
9.
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.
10.
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.
