Winter Travel Itineraries by Weather

Winter travel divides into two camps: those chasing snow and cold, and those escaping it. These itineraries cover both. Ski routes in the Alps and Dolomites sit alongside warm-weather escapes to Southeast Asia, the Canary Islands, and Southern Africa — all planned around the months when conditions are genuinely in your favour.

Winter also opens up destinations that are simply too hot or too crowded in summer. Rajasthan is best visited November through February. Machu Picchu's dry season runs June through August — which is winter in the southern hemisphere. Every itinerary includes the climate context you need to understand why that timing works.
