Perhaps your travel aspirations for winter include warm, sunny destinations, or you may be a self-proclaimed snow bunny who loves cold-weather recreation. No matter what your preferences are, there are numerous possibilities for satisfying your winter wanderlust. Here are a few tried and true travel locations to inspire your itinerary. 

What Are Some of the Best Travel Activities for Winter?

Ski Excursions

A ski trip provides the opportunity to enjoy winter wonderland scenery while challenging yourself on assorted slopes. There are plenty of wonderful ski destinations in the U.S. and Canada, including Mont Tremblant outside of Montreal, where they offer lifts to the halfway point and top of the mountain. This destination also features a quaint ski village for enjoying hot chocolate or something stronger. 

If you prefer to stay on American soil, consider a ski trip in Colorado, such as to Vail, Aspen, or Telluride. The latter location is known for its picturesque downtown with many shops and eateries, and you can take their free lift up the mountain for more shopping—or, of course, skiing. Other ski trip destinations worth considering include South Lake Tahoe in California, where you can snap pictures of the largest alpine lake in North America; and Jackson Hole, WY, which boasts stunning scenery as well as skiing, snowshoeing, and sleigh rides. 

Golf Trips

Should you prefer to beat the cold this winter, make a golf trip part of your travel plans. Forget about the frigid air and tee off in warm weather, such as at the Streamsong Resort in Bowling Green, FL. This resort features three championship courses and convenient vacation packages. 

The American Southwest provides many golf destinations ideal for winter getaways. Arizona has such popular public courses as We-Ko-Pa in Ft. McDowell and Quintero in Peoria. The Quintero course was ranked in the Top 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses in the U.S. by Golf Digest and features both mountain and Sonoran Desert backdrops. 

If a tropical golf destination is more your speed, consider Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic. This esteemed location features courses designed by golf legend Pete Dye that let you play satisfying rounds of golf while gazing at the crystal-blue Caribbean. If you need a break, you can visit one of the marina or sports clubs or just relax in the sun on the beach.
