The cycle of ski-après-sleep, repeat doesn't appeal to everyone. But if the idea of making fresh tracks in white powder with blue skies above does, there are plenty of alternative trips offering new and exhilarating ways to explore some of the world's most remote landscapes this winter.
If you've dreamed of seeing emperor penguins or orcas in their natural habitat, or of stepping foot on the frozen, unchartered territories of Antarctica, there are luxe organised expeditions you can do in less than a week. Or if you fancy zooming through barely touched mountains on a snowmobile, Iceland's remote new wilderness output Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll is ready to fulfil your wish.
