Raise your hand if you love a layer. These destinations are for travellers who love mist, plenty of shade, crisp mountain air and cozy sweater weather. Yes, all puns below are intended.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the thought of roasting in a city\u2019s peak season heat makes you recoil from a summer trip, welcome to the coolest club in travel.\u00a0Summer in the northern hemisphere is a vibe \u2013 bringing long, sunny days and plenty of outdoor activities and festivities \u2013 but being in the scorching heat isn\u2019t for everyone. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to cram all your travels into the off-season, this just means you can visit destinations overlooked by sun seekers. You could explore Iceland, hike through Patagonia\u2019s rugged beauty or experience Scotland\u2019s rich cultural heritage. The following destinations are tailor-made for a retreat from the heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Denali National Park<\/h2>\n

Summer in Denali, Alaska<\/a>, means mild temperatures and lots of daylight hours, which is ideal for exploring the park\u2019s smaller mountains, tundra and foothills. It\u2019s one of the largest national parks in the United States, covering over six million acres (about the area of Belgium) and home to diverse ecosystems, wildlife habitats and stunning landscapes, including North America\u2019s tallest peak, Denali. On Intrepid\u2019s six-day Hiking in Denali<\/a> trip, travellers trek mountain trails (and a glacier) while spotting wolves, grizzly bears and moose and enjoying treats like pizza and local brews.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Norway\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Fjords, snow-capped mountains, charming coastal towns and temperatures that hover around 20\u02daC make Norway<\/a> a great option for travellers looking for cooler escapes. From happening cities like Oslo to villages on the Lofoten Islands, there are different experiences for every type of traveller. Intrepid\u2019s trips in the country let you visit must-see fjords, embark on a scenic train journey through the Norwegian countryside or simply soak in the tranquility of the Arctic Circle under the midnight sun.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Patagonia\u00a0<\/h2>\n

For anyone who loves an adventure, Patagonia\u2019<\/a>s rugged landscapes are the ticket. Down at the southern tip of South America, towering peaks meet icy glaciers and windswept plains. Temperatures stay close to 20\u02daC in the summer. With Intrepid, you can visit nature destinations like Torres del Paine National Park, hike the towering granite spikes of Fitz Roy, or cruise through the icy waters of the Beagle Channel in search of penguins.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scotland\u00a0<\/h2>\n

With misty moors, rugged coastline, ancient castles and diverse cities, Scotland<\/a> has a great mix of history, culture and nature. In the summer, the average temperature is around 19\u00b0C and visitors have up to 17 hours of daylight to play in. On Classic Walks of Scotland<\/a>, adventurous travellers can roam around craggy peaks, rolling hills and tranquil lochs. Culture lovers can hit the cobbled streets of Edinburgh and Glasgow on Highlights of Scotland<\/a>. This small group trip also includes stops at places like Inverness, Fort William and the gorgeous Isle of Skye.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Iceland\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Famous for its out-of-this-world scenery and geothermal attractions, Iceland<\/a> lives up to its name even in summer when, thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is pleasant. In July and August, temperatures range from 10 to 15\u00b0C and visitors can take advantage of long daylight hours. With Intrepid, see stunning waterfalls like Seljalandsfoss and Sk\u00f3gafoss on the Golden Circle in Depth<\/a> trip, take a dip in the Blue Lagoon on Iceland Discovery<\/a>, walk along ancient glaciers, learn about Viking history, visit cute coastal towns and villages and iceberg-watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

South Africa\u00a0<\/h2>\n

From beaches along the Wild Coast to the peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains, South Africa<\/a> offers a summer escape with lots of variety. Enjoy that Atlantic Ocean breeze as you explore Cape Town, where Table Mountain looks over streets with an eclectic mix of culture and architecture. Go on a safari to search for the Big Five in Kruger National Park. Hike through leafy green forests of the Garden Route or sample world-class wines in the picturesque vineyards of the Cape Winelands. The temperatures from March to May range from 20 to 28\u00b0C; between June and August, they average 15 to 23\u00b0C and temperatures fall between 18 to 26\u00b0C from September to November.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

The Canadian Rockies\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n

With average temperatures ranging from a comfortable 15 to 25\u00b0C, the Canadian Rockies offer a cool sanctuary for travellers wanting relief from the scorching sun. Here, you can head out on hikes through forests and around turquoise glacial lakes and breathe in the crisp mountain air. For a trip that covers plenty of ground\u00a0with all the ooh and aahs, grab a spot on Intrepid\u2019s Classic Canadian Rockies<\/a>. You\u2019ll add epic national parks like Banff and Jasper to the \u2018gram and relax in alpine villages on a summer retreat with some of the nicest natural beauty found in the world. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
