Holiday destinations in January 2023
Where would be good for a January break?
January is the perfect time for a break away after the often stressful Christmas holidays. It is also a good idea to take advantage of reduced rates and avoid the crowds of the school holidays. Would you go for a romantic weekend in Brittany? Skiing with friends? Or a family holiday in the countryside?
Break up your January getaway with a range of activities
What about a trip to the mountains? January is the perfect time to go skiing. Enjoy the snow-covered slopes, ski lifts with no queues and cheap ski apartment rentals. Whether you head to the Pyrenees, or anywhere in French Alps, you are sure to fall in love with a resort. If you prefer high-altitude mountain resorts with large ski areas, head to Tignes or Les Deux Alpes. For family resorts, check out Loudenvielle in the Pyrenees or Valloire in Savoie. Once there, let yourself be tempted by winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. To add a little extra excitement to your stay, try out fat biking (mountain biking on snow) or ice climbing!
