As the nights get darker and the temperatures drop, a holiday might be just the tonic we need.<\/p>\n

Yet while many Britons will choose to dodge the UK\u2019s gloomy weather with a flight to a sunny country abroad, there are plenty of staycation opportunities on the British Isles that can make for a beautiful wintery retreat.<\/p>\n

This is particularly true of Scotland, where the rugged landscape and mystical wildernesses \u2013 and not to mention a hearty offering of pubs \u2013 provide an escapist\u2019s paradise.<\/p>\n

And whilst there are plenty of ideal getaway spots in Scotland over the coming months, one village in particular has an especially alluring offer of activities: Aviemore.<\/p>\n

Situated in the Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands, Aviemore provides some of the quintessential winter activities, including skiing, sledging and snowshoeing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But this isn\u2019t your usual run-of-the-mill skiing resort location, as there are some breathtaking parts of nature to enjoy too.<\/p>\n

Cairngorms National Park is home to the UK\u2019s only free-roaming herd of reindeer and is where 150 of them wander the landscape and the Glenlivet Estate.<\/p>\n

Likewise, Rothiemurchus is another estate, with a history that\u2019s said to date back as far as the 8th century, and which now provides all the essentials for a family day out, including accommodation, dining and outdoor activities.<\/p>\n
