If the idea of trekking through knee-deep snow to catch a glimpse of those elusive Northern Lights is not your idea of a luxury holiday, we’ve found a tour that might be more to your discerning tastes.

We’re going West in Canada on a small-group luxury tour (maximum 16 people) to see the best of the lights (without the need to go full Bear Grylls). On this Luxury Escapes 12-day tour, you’ll stay in five-star accommodation and be ferried to a tepee village to cosy up by woodfires in Aurora Village (seated in heated chairs).

Then, it’s on to Vancouver, to experience the foodie haven that is Gastown, and onward to Banff National Park where you can partake in ice walks and sleigh rides through the Rockies (if you’re so inclined). Then, it’s off to Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise – and this is where it really gets luxe.
The 12-day tour starts from $6,999 per person, twin share. Have we piqued your interests? For full details, inclusions and dates, visit the Luxury Escapes website.
