Head North for Winter
For us, a winter escape is not all about seeking out the slopes or the sun. Instead, it is the snow dusted wonderlands of northern Europe, the breath-taking landscapes of the Arctic Circle, the endless adventure offering of Scandinavia and the luxurious boltholes of Iceland that tick all our travel boxes for a snowy sojourn.
Of course, a huge draw to this corner of Europe is the spectacle of the Northern Lights; a dazzling curtain of greens, blues and purples that graces the skies of the most remote corners of the planet. Cozy up in an igloo watching the lights dance overhead, hop on board a snowmobile and chase them into the night or dine under the stars for a front row seat at Mother Nature’s finest light display.
