But I am here to let you know that winter is also one of the best times of year to travel. Forgo a trip home to another place in the world. Find the calm, quiet goodness of a foreign town to sightsee and liven up a time of year we often watch pass by from behind a window. Opt for a sleepy visit to Europe this winter and avoid those summer crowds. Savor old-world glamour and rich history in Côte d’Azur or walk through quiet streets and stand along blustery cliffs in Cinque Terre. | | | SNOWBIRD SKI RESORT, WASATCH RANGE, UTAH | Snow lovers shouldn’t miss a chance to dive headfirst into this state's primo powder. Shredding on diamond slopes, reveling in apres-ski culture around a crackling fireplace or strapping on the snowshoes is a daily occurrence. | | | Photography by: Angelo Ferraris/500px, Jack Soloman for Lonely Planet, Nutmegoo7/Shutterstock, Cocosss/Shutterstock, Daniela Constantinescu/Shutterstock, SCQBJ-JZ/Getty Images | | | | THIS EMAIL WAS SENT TO YOU BY: LONELY PLANET PUBLICATIONS LTD. | 1101 RED VENTURES DRIVE, FORT MILL, SC 29707 | | | |
