SWAP THE BEACH FOR SOMETHING COOLER: 3 IDEAL COLD WEATHER DESTINATIONS

When somebody says holiday, most of us automatically think of sand, sea and sun. Here at IDEAL we love hot sun, sandy beaches and relaxing by the pool, but we think change is good. Why limit yourself to the same old beach holiday every year when there are so many other exciting destinations. Enter the world of cold weather getaways.

We know you’re probably thinking that you’re trying to get away from bad weather when you go on holiday, but sometimes it’s worth the sacrifice. Embracing a winter holiday in an even colder country can be a wonderful thing.

If you fancy a bit of a change from your normal getaway, why not try some of these ideal cold weather destinations?

Finland

Finland is known for its low temperatures and if you are going to visit you need to make sure that you’re wrapped up warm. This country is great for families because it’s home to the magical winter wonderland of Lapland that the kids are sure to love. Meeting Santa Claus is every kid’s dream and you’ll be very popular if you make it happen.

Finland is also a great place for anybody else because it is home to one of the greatest natural wonders in the entire world, the Northern Lights. There is nothing better than being able to see this incredible spectacle up close. When you get home, you can warm up in one of the relaxing saunas that are in most of the houses and hotels over there.

Canada

Canada is a brilliant country that has something to offer for everybody. If you want a city break then Toronto is perfect. It’s often described as a more modern and nicer version of New York so if that’s your kind of thing, Canada is great for you. For something that’s a bit more active, why not think about a skiing holiday. There are plenty of ski instructor courses that can teach you all of the basics if you are new to the sport. There are also lots of great natural features to see in Canada. Along the border between Canada and the USA, you’ll find Niagara Falls, one of the best sights to see in the whole country.

India

3 IDEAL COLD WEATHER DESTINATIONSwikipedia

Most people don’t usually think of India as a place to go for cold weather and, for the most part, it isn’t. However, there are certain places that you can go if you want to escape the heat. Ladakh on the northern border is a brilliant place to go camping. The area borders with the Tibetan mountains and it is a wonderfully secluded place to get away from it all. You’ll find beautiful views and for any budding astronomers, it’s the perfect place to see the stars. If camping isn’t really your thing, don’t worry too much. There are some luxury glamping sites in the area that provide nice heated tents with hot showers and proper beds. It’s so luxury that you’ll hardly even notice that you’re camping.

Don’t spend another year in the same old beach holiday destination, get some warm clothes on and head out to one of our favorite cold weather holiday destinations.
