Sledding with Dogs or Reindeer

In the Arctic, dog sledding is a must-do outdoor winter activity bucket list that is unquestionably a fantastic time with the huskies. Because of my own personal experience with a dog sledding excursion in Tromso, Norway, it is one of the best winter sports to try in Arctic Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska, or Canada, to your winter bucket list.

The closest you can come to experiencing a piece of the old Sami culture, the people that dominated this area for more than 5000 years, is to go reindeer sledding in the frozen woodlands of Arctic Lapland, north of Scandinavia.

Snowmobiling

You can go on a snowmobile adventure into the Arctic tundra in the northern countries of Scandinavia—Finland, Norway, and Sweden—if you wish to ride a motorized vehicle in the snow. In this area, where the winters are lengthy, snowmobiles are a need for transportation and an essential element of daily life. This enjoyable ride is a must-do outdoor winter activity.

A Snow Sled Ride

In regions with heavy snowfall, snow sledding is a highly common local pastime, and you'll frequently see youngsters being pulled by their parents along the roads on sleds. I think everyone should experience this enjoyable winter activity, so I highly suggest adding it to your winter bucket list. 

Skating on Ice

With artificial ice rinks, ice skating is quite popular all year round. Skating on a frozen lake during the winter is an exciting outdoor activity to undertake, but be careful and make sure to verify the area for the thickness of the ice and any local instructions before you go on this adventure. To try this, most places have constructed ice skating pathways. Look at that image, then check off your winter bucket list!

Skiing

One of the most well-liked winter activities, skiing has many varieties. Skiing has many different variations, with downhill skiing being the most popular. Other variations include backcountry skiing, ski climbing, and cross-country skiing. Skiing is one of the most addictive and enjoyable activities ever. It is frequently easy to learn but challenging to master. Skiing is feasible anywhere there is snow and a mountain, but the most unique Alpine mountains in Europe are found in France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, as well as Canada, of course, in North America.

Winter Hiking

Challenge yourself to hike a snow peak during the winter to enjoy a white spectacular view from the top. This is a straightforward winter wishlist item to add. For a winter snow hiking vacation, short hikes are available in many countries.
