Towns of a Christmas Tale

If you take into account our recommendation for this week about skiing and also consider that Christmas is coming, our plan is clear: visit one of the following towns that seem towns of a Christmas tale.

Everyone have ever read or heard a tale at Christmas time. For some reason, that tale often occur in areas where it is cold, where it often snows, there are forests and where people are at their home next to a fire.

Here you are our recommendations:

1.- Grindelwald (Switzerland): located in the canton of Bern, is a hill resort that in winter is covered in white, but also allows some of the best views of Switzerland between mountain peaks and forests.




2.- Rothenburg (Germany): located in Bavaria, is an ancient medieval imperial city that preservers the aspect intact of centuries and inspired the town of Pinocchio in the Disney version. Half-timbered facades, sloping ceilings accumulating snow and Christmas decoration are the perfect setting for a special Christmas.




3.- Hallstatt (Austria): located in the Salzkammergut region and is one of the most beautiful villages of Europe.





4.- Shirakawa-go (Japan): is a village in the district of Ono, a famous site for their houses Gassho-zukuri style. It is located in the center of the island of Honshu and literally looks like a fairytale site. Their houses, with very slanted roof are adapting the architecture to the amount of snow that must withstand winter, being a mountainous region.







As you can see, they are so beauty that you can visit them in winter or in any other season. Which is your choice?
