Classic Northern Hemisphere winter in Hokkaido.
Four winter destinations. Four completely different mountain worlds: Japanese powder, the scale of the French Alps, Southern Hemisphere skiing above Queenstown and the glacier-shaped valleys of the Canadian Rockies.
EXPLORE THE MOUNTAINS ↓A mountain trip can mean storm skiing through Japanese trees, standing beneath Mont Blanc or skiing in August above a New Zealand lake.
This collection focuses on destinations with a strong sense of place. The snow matters, but so do the landscape, culture, season and the experience beyond the lifts.
Deep powder, birch forests, four resort areas and hot springs beneath Mount Yotei.
EXPLORE NISEKO →Glaciers, cable cars, multiple ski areas and the enormous presence of the Mont Blanc massif.
EXPLORE CHAMONIX →Ski the alpine bowls of The Remarkables, then return to Queenstown for Lake Wakatipu, the town and the wider Southern Lakes.
EXPLORE THE REMARKABLES →Turquoise alpine lakes, glacier-shaped valleys, mountain roads and the high peaks of the Canadian Rockies.
EXPLORE BANFF →These destinations are intentionally different. Pick the experience first, then choose the mountain.
Choose Niseko when snowfall, tree skiing, Japanese winter culture and onsen are the priority.
CHAMONIX Go for scale.Choose Chamonix for glaciers, high-altitude viewpoints and the atmosphere of a true Alpine town.
THE REMARKABLES Go for contrast.Choose Queenstown for Southern winter, skiing by day and lakefront town life after the mountain.
BANFF Go for the Rockies.Choose Banff for alpine lakes, glacier valleys, mountain roads and the scale of Canada's oldest national park.
Classic Northern Hemisphere winter in Hokkaido.
European Alpine season, with conditions changing strongly by altitude.
Southern Hemisphere skiing when Europe and Japan are in summer.
Canadian Rockies winter, with snow season varying by elevation and mountain area.
The best mountain destinations are not interchangeable. Explore them for what makes each one distinct.
Continue by season, by a very different kind of mountain landscape, or by returning to the wider destination collection.
Niseko, Chamonix and Banff peak in Northern Hemisphere winter; The Remarkables opens the same idea six months later in New Zealand.
COMPARE THE SEASONS → WORTH COMPARING Wadi RumMountain terrain without alpine snow: sandstone and granite massifs rise from an arid desert instead of a glaciated winter landscape.
