Note: Final editorial title will be confirmed by our team closer to publication for maximum seasonal relevance and search impact.

What Is This Listicle About?

This premium editorial feature will spotlight 10 of the world’s most atmospheric winter towns, each blending postcard-perfect charm with authentic seasonal experiences. From snow-dusted alpine villages to cobblestoned streets glowing under lantern light, each entry will evoke the magic of winter in a way only Condé Nast Traveler can.

Within each town’s section, one exclusive brand — a boutique hotel, luxury lodge, renowned restaurant, spa, cultural experience, or tourist board — will be highlighted as the way to experience that destination.

Published on Condé Nast Traveler, one of the most prestigious travel platforms globally, this is a curated, story-driven feature designed to inspire high-end travelers and position your brand with elegance and credibility.

Launching early November 2025, it’s perfectly timed for the 2025/26 ski season, holiday travel, and peak winter bookings.

Only 10 exclusive spots available, one per town.

THE POWER OF

LISTICLES

Listicles offer an elegant, accessible way to get your business in front of Editorial. Listicles offer a powerful, story-driven way to position your brand in front of millions of aligned, high-intent readers — all while becoming part of a curated narrative that enhances your credibility and exposure.

They are cost-effective, SEO-optimized, and highly shareable, making them one of the smartest media investments for emerging or independent brands looking to break into premium digital PR.
