You can experience the spectacle of snow, admire the very high peaks and feel the woods breathe in many other ways. A beautiful and fun alternative is the sled. In Vipiteno there is the most snow-covered and longest sledding track in Italy, perfect for both children and adults. Here you will also find picturesque squares and narrow streets and above all breathtaking views and an authentic mountain. A few kilometers away there is also the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2018\/11\/ratschings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alpine Pearl of Racine<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<h2>A hot bath in a\u00a0natural spa<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-22121\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/jonathan-percy-513017-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Hot springs for unconventional winter holidays\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/jonathan-percy-513017-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/jonathan-percy-513017-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In Italy, <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/hot-springs-world\/\" target=\"_blank\">but not only<\/a>, you can find<a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2013\/10\/hot-springs-italy-free-spa-therme\/\" target=\"_blank\"> beautiful natural hot springs<\/a>.

But if the sun can be found almost everywhere, winter is not the same in all regions. Trust me, on Christmas morning I was at the beach and there were 18 degrees! There are many places where you can find mild temperatures, a beautiful sun and, why not, the melancholic and evocative show of winter sea. Visiting off-season travel destinations allows you to experience places in a more authentic way, fully discovering customs and traditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Sleep in an igloo like an Eskimo<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22120\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/44299a13af7571bcfc9c498f2f3325aac014ef1f.jpeg\" alt=\"Sleep in an igloo like an Eskimo\" width=\"770\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/44299a13af7571bcfc9c498f2f3325aac014ef1f.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/44299a13af7571bcfc9c498f2f3325aac014ef1f-536x300.jpeg 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/44299a13af7571bcfc9c498f2f3325aac014ef1f-570x320.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/44299a13af7571bcfc9c498f2f3325aac014ef1f-344x193.jpeg 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For alternative and exciting winter holidays you can choose to sleep with your sleeping bag in a real igloo of ice, among the snowy peaks, the silence and the splendid view of the mountains. <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/igloo-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here you can discover the 16 most beautiful igloos in Europe, all eco-sustainable<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2>Slow winter holidays<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-22190\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/jad-limcaco-272413-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"A slow winter holiday \" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/jad-limcaco-272413-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/01\/jad-limcaco-272413-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Winter, cold days and the slightly melancholic atmosphere invite to slowness and contemplation.
