Description
About the book. Epic Snow Adventures of the World gathers winter experiences from many parts of the globe. Lonely Planet presents 50 personal stories and 150 additional ideas for those who dream of snow, cold, and new landscapes. The book features both active trips and unconventional winter experiences, from well-known mountain areas to places you might not associate with a snowy getaway.
Contents. You can read about the Canadian Rockies, Sweden’s ice hotel, ice climbing in Colorado, Mount Feathertop in Australia, dog sledding in Chile, and winter swimming in Finland. Winter sports athletes such as Bode Miller, Arianna Tricomi, and Sage Kotsenburg are among the contributors. A grading system helps you compare experiences. Photographs and illustrated maps accompany the content, and practical information covers aspects such as timing, equipment, nearest town, and accommodation.
Who is this book suitable for? The book is suitable for those who want to find a winter destination based on the experiences they are looking for, or who enjoy reading personal stories from snowy landscapes. You can look for something that matches your experience level, let a story introduce a new destination, or compare different types of winter travel. The practical sections provide a starting point for exploring the trips further. The hardcover book makes a good gift for a winter-loving traveller and serves as a collection of ideas to return to when planning a new season of experiences.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to choose a few experiences you really want, and see them in the context of the rest of the trip. A plan with fewer stops can give more time to get to know each place. Browse through it together with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to fit in and what you’ll have time to enjoy. Leave room on some days for breaks and detours as well. A physical book is good to return to when discussing the next leg of the journey. Find an idea you’ve noted again, and let the plan evolve as you get to know the destination.
