For sun seekers
one
Sanibel Island, USA
The island off Florida’s Gulf Coast is the perfect place to forget about winter. Summer temperatures, shell-covered beaches, turquoise sea water and picture-book sunsets: Florida, the “Sunshine State,” lives up to the promise of its name. If you’re tired of searching for seashells and swimming: Miami isn’t far away, and the famous Keys (an island chain in southern Florida) are just a summer cruise away.
2
Singapore
Singapore is currently reinventing itself. The city-state has opulent casinos, world-class hotels, an array of exciting museums and temperatures that can sometimes be challenging even for seasoned summer fans. Winter is the ideal travel time for all of Southeast Asia. Later the monsoon left and temperatures became slightly milder.
3
Madeira, Portugal
Just a three-and-a-half-hour flight from Switzerland, you can enjoy summer temperatures and the island’s natural beauty all year round. The exotic colors of the flowers stand out from the Atlantic – Madeira is not called the “floating garden” for nothing. In addition to lush flora and fauna, outdoor fans will get their money’s worth here. Hiking along the levadas, artificially created waterways, is as diverse as the numerous cycling paths through forest, gravel, mountain and coastal paths.
4
Goa, India
Goa, oh Goa: a mystical shroud has hung over the smallest of India’s states ever since hippies pitched their tents here in the 1970s. Goa is dreaming, Goa is swimming, Goa is letting go and shutting down – so it’s the perfect place to relax for the winter weeks. While the north is characterized by world-famous parties and celebrations (including Baga and Anjuna beaches), the south is quieter and calmer. If you want to clear your soul after a night of partying, you can do so in one of the countless beautiful churches. These are a reminder of the Catholic colonial power of Portugal, which controlled this magnificent piece of land for 400 years.
5
bali, indonesia
The island of Bali is not only one of Indonesia’s most popular beach paradises, it is also an island full of fascinating traditions. In the south, around the city of Denpasar, you’ll find quintessential Mallorcan beach parties, but the island’s real treasure lies inland, where you can enjoy Balinese culture and peaceful rice terraces. One of the many temple festivals is particularly magical: Women march through the venue in solemn procession, balancing piles of fruit on their heads, as if there were nothing lighter in the world. The Hindu island of Bali, which belongs to the multi-island state of Indonesia, is one of the travel destinations that immediately fascinates the visitor.
6
Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa’s metropolis, Cape Town, has many plus points. Something that’s often overlooked: If you fly to the southern tip of Africa, you won’t experience jet lag thanks to the time difference of just one hour. The city under the famous Table Mountain (spectacular views) is a unique blend of European, African, Islamic and Asian cultures. Cape Town is also the starting point for beautiful beaches, the Cape’s famous wine-growing regions, and some spectacular world-class golf courses.
For snow lovers
7
Whistler, Canada
Whistler ski resort near Vancouver, British Columbia, is certainly not beautiful. Functional architecture dominates the site of the Winter Olympics in 2010; However, winter sports enthusiasts will still find their paradise here. With 200 miles of slopes, the Whistler Blackcomb area is one of the best in North America. Then it’s on to Canada’s hottest après-ski event. And if you need a break from the snow, head to nearby Vancouver, which is regularly ranked in the top 10 most livable cities.
8.
Revelstoke, Canada
Some go so far as to call Ravelstoke in the Canadian Rockies the best ski resort in the world. These Jpurnalists have probably never been to Lenzerheide, Saas Fee and Co. But the ski area is definitely Olympus for anyone who wants something more challenging: Ravelstroke is the heli-ski capital of North America. The height difference between the city and the peaks is an incredible 1,829 m; you can really skate there.
9
Breckenridge, USA
Breckenridge, Colorado, was founded as a gold rush town (you can still feel a hint of it today)—even if the new gold was whiter and dustier. Breckenridge is famous for its powder snow. In addition to internationally renowned ski resorts such as Vail and Aspen in the Rocky Mountains, Breckenridge is a destination for day tourists from nearby Denver. Another advantage is that it is absolutely guaranteed to snow in the ski area. The altitudes of the 150 kilometers of tracks are between 3000 and 4000 meters.
1 0. Japan
Japan is definitely not the first destination that comes to mind when planning your next ski holiday. Sure: The nearly 10-hour flight seems a bit far for a few turns in the snow. But with nearly 500 ski resorts, the Japanese islands, especially Hokkaido, are the best winter destinations. The best ski destination is Niseko, which is a combination of four regions. Another argument in favor of Japan: not only is the food great here, but you can also take traditional hot baths after a day in the snow.
11th
Lapland
If you don’t want to go too far and still want to experience meters of snowfall, you should head to Lapland. The region, which extends to Norway, Sweden and Finland, is also becoming increasingly popular among the Swiss. Tour operators have therefore introduced flights to Tromsø in Norway and two Finnish cities, Rovaniemi and Kittilä. Here you can ski, sleep in igloos or go on a tour with reindeer and sled dogs.
12
antarctica
Antarctica is a “once in a lifetime” experience. Travel time is northern winter, on the southern continent it is summer – then it is a pleasant 0 degrees in eternal ice. Tours begin in South America, in Punta Arenas, Chile or Ushuaia, Argentina. We are going to the Antarctic Peninsula on an expedition ship, passing Cape Horn via the Drake Passage. Icebergs, penguins, whales and a landscape almost untouched by humans await there. Regular lectures are given on expeditions introducing the flora and fauna of the delicate ecosystem.
