If you’re dying to hit the slopes, sip hot chocolate by fire, and take in scenic landscapes, then you have come to the right place. There are many beautiful places to ski around the world; however, we compiled a few of our favorites to make the research easier for you. Keep reading for a few of our favorite destinations for the ultimate Skiing Retreat.

Whistler Backcomb – Canada

This place stands alone as being the largest ski resort in North America. For that reason, the resort attracts travelers from around the world and is held as a beacon for skiing enthusiasts. The slopes offer diverse terrain that are accessible to all skiing levels, making it one of our top choices for families and skiing professionals.

Zermatt and Verbier – Swiss Alps

The Swiss Alps is a widely popular destination for skiing enthusiasts as it boasts some of the most scenic landscapes in Europe, access to extensive slopes-both beginner-friendly and challenging- as well as charming neighboring villages.

Aspen, Colorado

Aspen remains a favorite for people in the US, combining world-class skiing offering travelers miles of unmatched terrain, cozy resort towns, and sweeping views.

Looking to do something different on your next vacation? The Glacier Express takes you on an alpine rail journey through the soaring peaks of the Alps and charming villages along the way. It’s a journey you’ll never forget.

It’s The Best Way To View The Alps

The Glacier Express connects the mountain resorts of Zermatt and St. Mortiz. It passes through the central Swiss Alps, making it one of the best ways to soak in the stunning views of the snowy mountain range.

You’ll Feel Like You’re In Harry Potter

The route takes you across the Solis and Landwasser viaducts. You may recognize this shot from the Harry Potter movies but no, this is not the Hogwarts Express. It will certainly feel like it though.

Panoramic Views

The carriages on the Glacier Express boast panoramic views, so you can soak up the stunning scenery from all different angles.

First-Class Treatment

There are a range of options available for riders of the Glacier Express. All seats are comfortable and food and beverages are made available. This means you can enjoy the first-class views while receiving first-class treatment.

It’s All About The Journey

The Glacier Express is the slowest “express train” in the world, and if you are in a rush, you’d be better off flying across Switzerland. The whole idea of the Glacier Express is to enjoy the journey, soak up the scenery, and enjoy mealtimes while surrounded by panoramic views of the Alps.

Do you remember the magical story about the girl who fell in love with the Swiss mountainside? Yes, we’re talking about little Heidi, who had a heart as pure as the milk her goats gave her every morning! 

If your childhood fantasies came to life while reading this, we are here to tell you that now you can visit the village Heidi grew up in!  

The city of Maienfeld in Switzerland created a memorial house in the village Ober Rofels, completely dedicated to the memory of Heidi, Peter and their families.

The village is not as glamorous as Disneyland, but instead it is one of the most charming little places you’ll ever see. Heidi’s house today is a refurbished museum and everything inside is made out of wood in order to reflect how rural life looked 120 years ago.  

There are tiny windows to keep the snow out during the winter, small chairs and tables, and a cellar full of wine, cheese and bread. Next to the house you can find a mini country road to take you high up in the Alps. And what’s sweetest of all, you can spot Clara’s wheelchair in the yard!  

Childhood memories are the best memories, so let yourself be a child once again by living like the little heroine Heidi for a day!

High up in the Bernese Alps lies a village called Grindelwald in Switzerland. This winter wonderland is a great place for snow sports, including skiing and snowboarding.

The Swiss Alps are a majestic place with picturesque trails and ice crested mountain peaks. For people who love the thrill of hiking – then this heaven is for you.

Visit Jungfraujoch

The travel to Jungfraujoch will make you feel like you’re on the set of a Christopher Nolan movie. The railway was built in 1912, and it still functions at its prime today. To witness an amazing view of “The Top of Europe,” make sure to book a train ride in this region.

Check Out Bachalpsee

This mountain is about 2,265 meters tall and gives you clear views of crystal clear blue waters of an Alpine lake. It’s home to grassy mountain sides and makes for the perfect picture to take back home to your family. You’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time to when cows grazed the pastures and life was simple and untouched.

Marvel’s latest smash hit Spider-Man: Far From Home saw the titular character exploring some of Europe’s top destinations during his adventure-filled summer field trip. If you’re thinking of copying Peter Parker’s travel itinerary, here are all the cities you should visit.

Venice, Italy

Venice is probably already on your bucket list, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it more than Peter and his school buddies.

Prague, The Czech Republic

Prague’s most popular landmark, the Charles Bridge, served as a location for one of the movie’s biggest twists.

The Swiss Alps

To be fair, Peter and the gang only saw parts of Austria and Switzerland from the bus, but these countries still took their breath away.

Berlin, Germany

Spider-Man’s stop in Berlin was extremely brief, which was pretty disappointing since this city has so much to offer.

Broek op Langedijk, The Netherlands

You’ve probably never heard of this charming town in the Netherlands before, but Far From Home really put it on the map.

London, Britain

Spider-Man’s visit to London led to total chaos, but that shouldn’t stop you from visiting the capital of the United Kingdom at least once.
