12 Cozy Girls Trips in the U.S. to Take This Winter

"Sipping mulled wine, basking in the views of snow-covered mountains, and people-watching by a roaring fireplace-experience all this and more on a cozy girls trip this winter. Whether traveling with your mom, your sister, or your friends, these oh-so-cozy destinations across the country offer something special for everyone. With help from group travel experts, we compiled this list of the best winter girls getaways, from charming mountain towns and swanky ski spots to coastal locales that shine without the crowds."

""Aspen is absolutely one of our all-time favorite winter destinations to plan a girls trip," says Allison Odhner, CEO and Bach Boss of Bach to Basic, a luxury all-inclusive bachelor party, bachelorette party, and group travel planning concierge. "While all of Colorado is magical in the winter, Aspen stands out with its cozy and quaint yet luxurious vibe." Best of all? Skiing is totally optional. Whether you prefer to hit the slopes or enjoy the aprés-ski scene, Odhner tells Travel + Leisure, "There is a place and activity for everyone.""

"Echoing these sentiments, Avery Singer and Jolie Lauren, founders of BachBoss, tell T+L that "Aspen is the place to be," especially for those with a larger budget, where they can spring on hat-making at Kemo Sabe or enjoy aprés-ski at spots like Ajax Tavern or The Snow Lodge. When hunger calls, Singer and Lauren recommend sitting down for a swanky meal at Campo De Fiori, Casa Tua, Matsuhisa, or Cache Cache. Accommodation options are equally incredible, including "hotels and house rentals with fireside and mountain views," says Odhner."

Cozy winter getaways combine scenic mountain views, roaring fireplaces, and seasonal drinks for relaxed group travel. Destinations span mountain towns, swanky ski resorts, and quieter coastal spots that avoid heavy crowds. Aspen offers a cozy yet luxurious vibe with optional skiing, active aprés-ski scenes, craft experiences like hat-making, and high-end dining. The Catskills and Hudson Valley provide easy access from New York City with picturesque house rentals and hotel options focused on scenic views rather than nightlife. Accommodations emphasize fireside settings and mountain panoramas, ensuring options for varied budgets and group preferences.
