Mountain destinations: Where to go on vacation in November?

November is often that time of year when you're not quite sure what to do. It’s not yet cold enough for decent snow at ski resorts, and it’s no longer warm enough to fully enjoy the south of France. As for festivities, Halloween has passed, but it’s still too early to get excited about the holiday season, so many people simply stay home and wait for the month to pass.

‍

That’s a shame, because November is actually a great time to travel for several reasons! Taking a vacation during this "in-between" month allows you to enjoy destinations with more peace and quiet at lower prices than during peak seasons. Rates for vacation rentals, activities, and transportation are cheaper, and if you’re driving, you’re unlikely to get stuck in traffic (unless you’re just really unlucky).

‍

The mountains are a top destination in November because travelers can afford to book accommodations they might not otherwise be able to rent during the peak winter sports season. The plus side: in November, it’s already cold enough in the mountains to enjoy raclette, fondue, and all those mountain specialties you don't necessarily crave in the middle of summer. Let’s take a look at the resorts worth visiting for your November getaway!
