COLD COMFORT

The latest winter blues-busting adventures

- 

There's no denying it - winter is just around the corner, so it's time to hunker down and crank up the heating. Or alternatively, embrace the colder weather and make the most of the world's winter wonderlands. If you've got cash to splash, it's hard to beat our first suggestion - an aurora-spotting flight over the Yukon wilderness. The experience is offered by Northern Lights Resort and Spa as part of a £5,780 seven-night package which includes international flights to Canada, an aurora-spotting flight in a private plane and a stay in one of the resort's igloos or chalets. But don't hang around - it's only available between 12 to 17 February 2026, when the current solar cycle reaches its peak of activity.
