To start this list off with a bang, we've got the Trans-Siberian Railroad for you. Running from Russia to China through St. Petersburg, Moscow, Beijing and Mongolia, you'll be able to enjoy the wintry coldness in multiple destinations that come with stops for trekking, picnics, dog sledding, mountain rafting and more. Be prepared to spend if your trip is to be a long but envy-inducing one!

2. Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, Iceland

How do beautiful natural ice caves and the world-famous Northern Lights sound like to you? If you're adventurous, you can also embark on glacier hiking in addition to soaking yourself in the surreal, milky Blue Lagoon. For the uninitiated, this remarkable natural wonder is well-loved for its magical healing properties.

3. South Tyrol Dolomites, Italy

If you fancy the idea of relaxing in a pristine snowy, mountainous environment whilst feasting your eyes on some of the world's most magnificent scenery, perhaps you could make your way via rail to the South Tyrolean Dolomites nestled in the northern tip of Italy.

Axiomatically known as one of planet Earth's most beautiful mountain landscapes, this stunning mountain range that features glacial landforms, vertical walls, narrow, deep and long valleys as well as sheer cliffs is also a UNESCO world heritage site.

Visitors can participate in a myriad of snow activities such as cross-country skiing, winter walking and snowshoeing to enjoy their time in this beautiful winter wonderland without doing much harm to the environment in the Italian Alps.

4. Ski Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Granted, Dubai might be one of the world's warmest holiday destinations with its subtropical climate, but you can still experience fun in snow when you pay Ski Dubai a visit.

For the record, Ski Dubai is Middle East's first indoor ski resort where travellers get to enjoy all things related to snow such as tobogganing, skiing and snowboarding. But of course, nobody says you can't build a cute snowman or partake in some snowball-shooting fun while you're at it.

Located in the Mall of the Emirates, Ski Dubai makes use of glorious technology to create its own real snow for visitors all year round, so you can visit this unorthodox winter wonderland any time of the year, really.

Here you can see our Dubai travel guide to find out which other places are worth visiting and experiencing while there.
