In the Canadian Rockies, Indigenous Tour Guides Offer Adventure with Respect of Land Writer Samantha Falewée is schooled in two-eyed seeing—a learning approach that balances Western and Indigenous values—while adventuring through rugged natural landscapes. The traditional territories in Alberta are home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have called these territories home for time immemorial. We respectfully acknowledge the diverse histories, cultures, and territories of Treaty 6, 7, 8, 4, and 10, as well as the homelands of the Métis, the 8 Métis Settlements, the 6 Métis Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta. As I sat near the summit of Mount Owen in Alberta, Canada, surrounded by hundreds of miles of the Rocky Mountains, the expanse of snow around me was quiet. I had just climbed to an elevation of 9,434 feet, led by certified alpine guide Tim Taylor, the Métis founder of Girth Hitch Guiding. www.cntraveler.com/story/the-canadian-rockies-indigenous-tour-guides-offer-adventure-with-respect-of-land#11 October 2024

The best Christmas markets in SwitzerlandFrom the largest cities to the most charming towns, this is where to get in the festive mood across the country The best Christmas markets in Switzerland can be quite a spectacular affair. Towering Christmas trees bedecked in glittering lights, and baubles become the centrepiece of many festivities, as stallholders take residence in small wooden huts for a month to sell their unique wares, from arty prints to handmade ceramics. Mulled wine and punch scent the air as the Swiss gather in pop-up chalets, dipping crisp baby potatoes and cornichons into pots of molten cheese. From the numerous Christmas markets in the largest cities to the more authentic arrivals in the small snow-dusted towns, this is our pick of the best around. www.cntraveller.com/article/best-christmas-markets-switzerland#31 October 2024

The Best Time to Visit Copenhagen: A Season-by-Season GuideAre you seeking outdoor pursuits and canalside people-watching or cozy candlelit dinners and a taste of “Hygge”? Denmark's capital has our heart and consistently tops the tables when it comes to our favorite European cities. The best time to visit Copenhagen depends on what you're prepared to pack. Winter is icy and chilly, but follow the lead of the fashionable Danes and wrap up in stylish coats and scarves. November to December are great for exploring the city's museums and cultural attractions. Rates at the best hotels in Copenhagen drop slightly once the summer crowds depart, but the months between May and September are fabulous for picking up baked treats and sipping on cocktails as the sun shines down on the harbor and leafy parks. Here, we run through the city's seasonal highlights we can't get enough of. One thing's for sure: whenever you visit, you'll be eagerly planning your return from the moment you return home. www.cntraveler.com/story/best-time-to-visit-copenhagen?31 Oct 2024

The best countryside hotels near LondonYou don't have to travel far to escape the city. These countryside hotels are some of the best in the UK For some, a night or two away from the city, immersed in the countryside with a cloak of genuine darkness and the sound of nature as a nighttime backing track, is the ultimate way to recharge. The beauty of living and working in London - or even visiting the capital for an extended amount of time - means you don’t have to travel far to find this kind of escapism. In fact, some of the UK’s best and most beautiful countryside hotels are located just an hour or two from the centre. Whether it’s grandeur, fine dining and a champagne-on-arrival kind of stay you’re looking for (imagine sinking into a roll-top bath and interrupting your book only to check in for your spa treatment), or a wholesome pub-with-rooms, welly boots at the door, board games by an open fire vibe, there’s something to suit. Forget taking annual leave and make the most of these doable roadtrip times to use your next free weekend as a chance to embrace the slow life. This is our shortlist of the best countryside hotels near London. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/countryside-hotels-near-london#11 October 2024

The 7 most haunted towns and villages in BritainWhere to visit whether you believe in the paranormal or not… When you think of ‘things that go bump in the night’ in the modern world, it’s more likely to be a Deliveroo cyclist colliding with a bottle bank. However, the spirit world can never be accused of evolving with the times. For ghosts, wraiths and apparitions care not for such passing fads as Deliveroo or recycling. You can add to that list rationalism, Richard Dawkins, Netflix dramas on the occult and organically grown pumpkins filled with tealights for Halloween. The towns, villages and cities below are – reportedly – notable for their ghostly population problem; namely there are just far too many of them in these locations. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, these claim to be the most haunted places in the UK. Why not pay them a visit, simply from curiosity? www.cntraveller.com/gallery/haunted-towns-and-villages-britain#24 Oct 2024
