When it comes to finding a place to stay in a winter wonderland, you can choose from ice hotels, luxury ski chalets and unique glamping pods.
We're in love with Harriniva's igloo-shaped Aurora Domes, the first of their kind in Finland and set on the banks of Lake Torassieppi away from any bright lights so you can spot the Northern Lights. Camping in Switzerland is a real treat when you can snuggle up in the wooden, snow-covered camping pods in Imboden. And Fairmont Banff Springs in Canada provides a fairytale setting for your Christmas holiday, complete with its UNESCO credentials, unparalleled skiing in and canyon ice walks.
