23 Quaint Towns Worth Traveling to This Winter

These tiny towns are filled with big adventures for families.

You don’t have to go big to keep your little snow bunnies entertained this winter. In fact, these tiny towns are proving just how much adventure one family can fit into a small space, with everything from sleigh rides and sledding to skijoring and sightseeing, and even a few that don’t include snowy goodness (hello, beaches and sunshine). Flip through to find your next pint-sized winter destination!

Sandpoint, Idaho (Appx. Population 7,500)

The Sellkirk and Cabinet Mountains are the backdrop for this small town, located along the shores of Lake Pend Orielle. So it only figures that mountain sports and lake sports (they totally fish year-round here!) are what you get when you make this your winter destination. Horse-drawn sleigh rides over groomed trails surrounded by snow-capped peaks are a family fave, but so is skiing and snowboarding at nearby Schweitzer Mountain Resort. And when your kiddos want to duck in from the cold, head to the Bird Aviation Museum & Invention Center, where they can learn the intriguing story of modern aviation.
