Introduction
The ideal time when one decides to empty out the vacation funds is during summer but that scenario is starting to pass just like time. More and more people are now opting for a nice chilly winter vacation, travelling the globe to some of the coldest city of the world for skiing, snowboarding, snow surfing and snow shoeing or just enjoying the view of a scenery covered in ice. So if you’re a fan of snow and ice then here’s a list of the favorite spots for a winter vacation around the globe.
History
Hershey , Pennsylvania is an excellent first choice. Yes, this place is quite famous for any snow sports but it is most famous for being the home of Hershey’s chocolates and almost everyone loves chocolate. They also have Hershey park which is taken over by the chocolate company for nearly a month for celebrating Christmas with over one million Christmas lights. My second option which is somewhat considered to be in tie with the first choice would be Sweden. The village of Jukkasjarvi every year builds an ice hotel. In fact they were the first to think of the concept. The entire hotel is build out of snow and ice. The bars, rooms, restaurants and the building all a combination of tons of ice and snow from the nearby river. Even the glasses at the bar are made of ice. The hotel hosts a number ice culture and art exhibitions. It’s a wonder, it still is and will be. A true work of art and beauty, you won’t find a better place to spend your snowy vacation. Of course it’s not just the one village, Sweden is a popular snow sport spot for experts and beginners and a very romantic place to be during the winter.
Features
Next in the list is the Killington ski resort in Killington, Vermont. It’s a great place for a family ski vacation. It’s the largest in East United States and largest vertical in New England. With nearly seven peaks to choose from Killington’s resort offers experiences for all ages from young to old. The resort stretches a whole lot and lodgings go as far as the downtown Rutland so you don’t have to worry about rent. Last but not the least, one of the favorite snow spots to recommend would be Wisconsin Dells. The small town offers great family vacations. Here you can experience both a warm summer and snowy winter. The destination has a lot of indoor water parks and other water activities all heated and indoors along with snow and ice covering the whole area. So you get two experiences in one vacation.
Tips and comments
You can also visit other good places like Yellowstone National Park and Orlando, which are more popular for summer vacation but are equally thrilling during the winters. These are the top favorite winter vacation spots you should visit if you’re looking for something different other than just snow sports. Winter has a lot more to offer as is portrayed in Hershey town’s Christmas spirit and Sweden’s ice sculpture and snow works.
