#2. Mt Buller, Australia

One doesn’t immediately associate Australia with

snow. Indeed, Mt Buller is one of the few places that
actually see frequent snowfall. As one would expect,
this beautiful snow-capped mountain region is popular
with skiers, snowboarders, and hikers.

#3. El Chaltén, Argentina

This deserted winter town is a haven for experienced

hikers wanting to get away from it all. In the summer,
El Chaltén is just another popular hiking spot.

#4. Queenstown, New Zealand

Queenstown is the archetypal magical winter town,

complete with the cold, crystal blue Lake Wakatipu,
and stunning surrounding mountains.

#5. Naarden, Netherlands

Naarden is a town from a child’s imagination. Built

within a star fort, it comes complete with fortified walls
and a moat. During the winter, these defences
transform into a beautiful icy landscape.

#6. Bled, Slovenia

Over-towered by formidable yet picturesque
mountains, Bled was founded in 1004 and considered
so beautiful by the Holy Roman Emperor that it was
gifted to the Bishop of Brixen. Bled castle sits in the
center of the town’s enchanting lake that borders the
town. While visiting make sure to check out the health
spas — renowned for being the most beautiful in the
area.

#7. Grise Fjord, Canada

A misanthrope’s paradise, Grise Fjord is the

northernmost community in Canada. During winter
they experience 104 consecutive days of darkness
and the nearest village is more than 200 miles away.
No, you won’t be getting a broadband connection
here.

#8. Štramberk, Czech Republic

Jancehlarik.

Štramberk lies on the slope of a forested hill

dominated by a magnificent medieval tower that
overlooks the town. The beautiful timbered houses
keep the lucky residents toasty warm during the
cold months.

#9. Shirakawa-go, Japan

Shirakawa-go is a small, traditional Japanese village

known for its incredibly steep roofs that were made to
withstand some of the heaviest snowfall in the world.

#10. Damüls, Austria

Damüls is the snowiest place in Europe — receiving

30 feet of snowfall every year. Unsurprisingly, this
small town of 300 is a popular getaway for winter
sports junkies.

#11. Serfaus, Austria

The oldest findings of civilisation in the region of

Serfaus are from the Bronze Age. These days the
town acts as a stopping point on the road to to the
popular ski-area of Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis.

#12. Marlow, England

Marlow is a sleepy parish on the River Thames.

Despite being only 30 miles from busy, hectic London,
it feels like an entirely different world —
particularly during the winter months.

#13. Vyborg, Russia

Vyborg lies on the border between Russia and

Finland and is surrounded by the Saimaa Canal,
which freezes over in winter. From the castle tower,
the entire town is visible in its pristine snow-capped
beauty.

#14. Bamberg, Germany

The historic city center of this Bavarian town is a
listed UNESCO world heritage site, with the
settlement dating back to 902 AD. This
magnificent, well-preserved medieval town and its
cobble streets are a treat to stroll around during the
winter months.

#15. Hallstatt, Austria

Nestled between the edge of Hallstätter See and the
towering Dachstein mountains, Austria’s oldest and
possibly most photographed village is something like
a mirage in the Salzkammergut Lake Region.

#16. Siglufjörður, Iceland

Siglufjörður is the perfect fishing town. Located along
a narrow fjord on the one side and mammoth
mountains on the other, this quaint village was
inaccessible by land until the 1940s, when a long
tunnel was constructed through the rock.

#17. Loket, Czech Republic

Photo by ewitsoe

Loket means “elbow” in English, the town is named

this because the town centre and castle are
surrounded on three sides by the fierce Ohře
River, and the shape the river takes is similar to that
of an elbow. Loket plays host to an annual
opera festival, which takes place in an open-air
amphitheatre with the castle as a backdrop.

#18. Funes, Italy

Simply magical — surrounded by the Italian Alps,

Funes is blanketed by a layer of crystal white snow
every winter.

#19. Reine, Norway

Reine is a quaint fishing village that can be found on

the beautiful arctic island of Moskenesøya. The port
has a population of only 329, but was rightfully voted
the most beautiful village in all of Norway — during
winter, it’s easy to see why.

#20. Calitri, Italy

The beautiful multi-colored Calitri is even more

striking in winter, where the snow-covered labyrinth of
historic houses and cobble streets entice visitors to
forget about the cold and just explore.

#21. Zermatt, Swizerland

Imagine living at an elevation of over 5,000 feet in the

shadow of Switzerland’s highest peaks. Zermatt lies
in the picturesque Matter Valley and it’s quite simply
breath-taking.

#22. Qaqortoq, Greenland

A smatter of multi-colored houses contrast starkly

against the white snow — this is Greenland’s
Qaqortoq. It has been inhabited for around 4,300
years, when the Saqqaq first settled the land.

#23. Chichilianne, France

Chichilianne is dominated by the breathtaking Mont

Aiguille, which is nearly 7,000 feet tall and offers
amazing views of the French Prealps.

#24. Breckenridge, Colorado

Breckenridge is a ski town that lies beneath the Rocky

Mountains. A climb to the peaks offer an incredible
view of the sleepy town below.

To get here is quite the adventure: From the capital of

Iceland, you’ll need to get on a once-weekly plane to
Greenland and then a helicopter ride to this small,
colorful town which sits by the longest glacial river
system in the world.

#26. Langwies, Switzerland

This small town is perched precariously on the edge
of the vast Langwies valley. Lucky visitors can take a
train ride over the valley and enjoy this gorgeous
area.

#27. Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic

This town is so beautiful that it was named Jablonec

and Nisou, meaning ‘Apple Orchard on the River
Neisse’. Its claim to fame is from the 18th century, for
producing the first piece of artificial jewellery.

#28. Jamnik, Slovenia

If you’re a godly person, Jamnik’s local church seems

the perfect spot for a bit of meditation and prayer.
Beauty and solitude come together on the slopes of
the Jelovica Platea.

#29. San Marino, Italy

San Marino is an enclaved micro-state of just 24
square miles, surrounded by northern Italy. Founded
in 301 AD, it is one of the oldest surviving sovereign
states and constitutional republics in the world. The
country is considered to have the earliest written
governing documents (constitution) still in effect.

#30. Engelberg, Switzerland

Photo by Svetlana Peric
Engelberg is a little-known resort town surrounded by
the Alps on one side and the crystal clear waters of
four lakes on the others. A true hidden gem.
