10 Best Places to See Snow Around the World (5 of 6)

8. Switzerland

When talking about places that look phenomenal in winter, you just can’t skip Switzerland. The Alps seem to have been specifically designed to astonish. Switzerland boasts legendary mountain peaks such as the Matterhorn, premium Swiss air, and an abundance of winter activities. Places like Mount Titlis near Lucerne will make you remember these winter scenes for decades to come, and if you start forgetting, just come on over again. Think of all the selfies you can take with backdrops like those!

9. Japan

In the northern regions of the Land of the Rising Sun, snow falls heavily and lingers, transforming centuries-old castles, shrines, and entire towns into a breathtaking scene. Visit Hirosaki Castle when it’s surrounded by snow, and if you catch a lantern festival, even better! For a pure winter experience, head into the mountains (just don’t go alone) to see “snow monsters” and chase frozen waterfalls in places like Oirase Gorge.
