winter retreat

Snowy vacation destination

A winter retreat is a getaway during the cold months, typically to a secluded location for rest, reflection, or recreation.

The term covers everything from a ski lodge vacation to a spiritual gathering at a monastery: The company holds an annual winter retreat in Vermont.

Religious and wellness communities use winter retreats for meditation or renewal when the season encourages turning inward.
