Winter is upon us, and it feels like we’ll have to wait an eternity before spring starts to rear its head.  But instead of retreating indoors, embrace it! Winter is a fantastic season to explore the world, see things from a different perspective and try activities that you may never thought about before. There’s something indescribable about experiencing a landscape covered in snow and ice, so whether it’s skiing in the Alps, hiking in the Himalayas or taking in the northern lights in Scandinavia, we think everyone should get out this winter. That’s why we have created The Cheapflights’ Guide to The Best Winter Sport Escapes, filled with hints and tips to inspire.

We’ve enlisted the help of experts from all over the world to bring you the best information about resorts, equipment, travel and some of the coolest events and experiences taking place this year. First off, Julia Paulmichl from VisitEurope.com tells us about the old continent and some of the best sports you can do there. Christine Fleitz from On the Go Tours talks us through two unique experiences that are once in a lifetime opportunities; trekking in the Himalayas and taking a dog sled trip in Russia. Iain Martin of Chaletline.co.uk is an expert in ski holidays and uses his vast experience to outline the best resorts around the world for all ages and experience levels. Finally, we’ve spoken to snowboarder and former seasonaire Adam Rowden of Natives.co.uk who gives us his hard earned, insider advice on what to pack and what to expect on the slopes.

2014 is an Olympic year so we’ve also included a guide to the greatest winter sports event on the planet as well as a calendar of alternative events if you weren’t lucky enough to get tickets to Sochi.
