Travel & Inspiration
At MISMO, we are passionate skiers who thrive on the exhilarating experience of gliding through powdery white snow in the frosty mountains. Combine it with fresh mountain air, thermal baths, meditation on ice and endless mountain top gazing and you have a regenerative cocktail that will prepare both body and mind for the year ahead. And though reality isn't always as fulfilling as our imagination had envisioned, less will often do and it definitely won't stop us from dreaming.
So we've curated four winter/ski destinations that fulfill our dreams but may not see us visit this year. Still, they serve as inspiration for future adventures and hopefully plant wanderlust in you too. After all, it doesn't take the full suite of luxurious wellness to connect your body & mind with the healing power of nature's many outdoor activities. However, if you are in the fortunate position to soon embark on a winter adventure, we won't hesitate to recommend our tactile luggage companions.
They'll take you equally through 5 star panorama resorts and wilderness solitude. Get inspired below.
