Wondering where to go in November, when the crowds thin out but winter hasn't quite taken over yet? That sweet spot between the last of autumn and the first snow is exactly when we send you out. Our November trips run from long weekends to full weeks, always in small groups with expert guides.
Craving wildlife? Track wolves in the Écrins or the Vercors, spending nights in the field to listen for a howl during a three day immersion. Want something bigger? Sail the fjords of Tromsø for a week, chasing orcas and humpback whales as they hunt herring under the season's first northern lights. If you'd rather run than sail, join a trail running course on the ridges of the Ventoux, still mild in November.
Looking for something quieter? A survival course in the Belgian Ardennes or the Vercors forests teaches you to build a shelter, light a fire and navigate, in a small group. And if you want a head start on winter, Swedish Lapland opens its season in late November with your first dog sledding runs, snowshoe outings and, with a bit of luck, your first auroras. Whatever your style, you'll find where to go in November in our selection, from beginner to expert.
