Ahead of the new year, we’ve crossed the world to find the 30 most exciting destinations and trends for The Cool List 2024. With landmark hotel openings, ambitious rewilding projects and new train routes, there’s a lot to choose from for the year ahead. We also explore Danish maritime culture on a tall ship adventure in the South Funen Archipelago; discover the wildlife of Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park; chase the Northern Lights in the remote Canadian town of Churchill; and find out how local innovators are breathing new life into Melbourne’s forgotten spaces . Sustainable ski resorts, the best places to join an amateur Alpine race and the lowdown on the latest kit are all in the National Geographic Traveller (UK) Winter Sports 2023/24 guide. This year, our 100-page guide includes an in-depth directory to the top winter sports destinations worldwide, from Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland to wider Europe, the Nordics, North America and beyond. Check out the latest news from the slopes and be inspired by our choice of trips for the season. Elsewhere, our features reveal the top hotels openings in the Alps this winter, where to take the family skiing in Europe and — if you’re seeking new thrills — the best places to try everything from moon-biking and dog-sledding to biathlons for beginners.
