WINTER RETREAT GUIDE
SURE, YOU’VE HEARD OF SKI DESTINATIONS LIKE ASPEN, WHISTLER, AND ST. MORITZ. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WINTER WONDERLANDS THAT ARE ON THE CUSP OF BECOMING WELL-KNOWN? ACCORDING TO THE AIRBNB REPORT OF THEIR TRENDING SKI DESTINATIONS AND VOGUE, HERE ARE OUR TOP 5 (AND THE ACTIVEWEAR & LEISUREWEAR OUTFITS YOU NEED TO).
Karuizawa, Japan
Located only an hour from Tokyo via bullet train, Karuizawa, Japan, is Airbnb’s top trending ski destination of the year. From 2018 to 2019, booking went up 444 percent.
Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, U.S.A.
The Tennesse National Park has pulled in big numbers for Airbnb lately. It saw an increase of 191 percent—across all seasons—this year, and the hospitality platform named it one of the “Must Visit” destinations for 2019.
Lombardy Mountains, Italy
The Dolomites are perhaps the most famous Italian alps resort area, but don’t rule out the Lombardy mountains: the region saw an Airbnb booking increase of 186 percent year over year. (If Lombardy sounds familiar, that might be because it also includes Lake Como)
Alps, Switzerland
Hop on a tiny mountain train to reach the historical Hotel Bellevue des Alpes, one of the most iconic inns in Switzerland. Curl up under in one of the modern rooms and watch snow-clouds gather around the legendary Eiger and Jungfrau mountains outside your window.
Lenox, Massachusetts, U.S.A
A Forbes Five Star Relais & Chateaux resort, this Tudor style mansion is one of only 12 remaining mansions of the era in the Berkshires, Blantyre is situated on 110 acres in the mountains of western Massachusetts, just two and a half hours away from New York City.
