4. Queenstown & Mt Cook, Southern Alps, New Zealand

The Southern Alps in New Zealand provide fine skiing across the South Island. Some of the most photographed peaks and sunsets down under can be found in the Remarkables ski resort near Queenstown. If you’re looking for a glimpse of the Southern Lights, the Aurora Australis, head slightly north to Lake Tekapo and the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park around the country’s highest peak, Mt Cook. Both resorts sit in the Dark Sky Reserve, offering the darkest of skies for some magical displays.

Narvik, far up in Northern Norway’s ‘land of the midnight sun’, is known for having the largest vertical drop in Scandinavia.

The dark season up here is often lit up by the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis.

6. Telluride ski resort, Colorado, United States

Telluride may be a smallish ski town in the southwestern corner of Colorado, but it offers skiing terrain that is second to none.

Equally magical are the vistas in nearby Breckenridge, Vail or Aspen, all part of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Make sure to catch a gorgeous twilight while there.

Just 15km from its internationally known Swiss big sister, Zermatt, Saas Fee‘s old, quaint car-free town still features a lot of its original alpine charm.
