The heatwaves that have swept over southern and central Europe in recent summers have led many travelers to consider an adventure trip further to the north, specifically to the Nordic countries — including Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Faroe Islands. While climate change has wreaked havoc on forecasts, there’s a reasonable expectation that summer in Oslo or Stockholm should be a bit more temperate than in Rome or Athens. Here’s a look at five Nordic adventures to consider this summer.
Private aviation, despite its detractors, is the engine that drives business. In fact, Dublin Airport authorities recently dropped plans to limit private jets after corporate users said it would cause them to halt Irish expansion plans. Equally important, private aviation plays a critical role as a time machine for leisure flyers. UHNWs regularly jet between homes and vacation spots. However, flying privately also benefits occasional users.
An hour north of Cape Town, the Swartland, one of the largest wine-producing areas in the Western Cape, doesn’t receive nearly the same attention as its polished neighbors in the Cape Winelands; the clean-cut vineyards of Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Franschhoek, where a hop-on, hop-off wine tram runs through the valley. Instead, the Swartland is the opposite of a wine tourism hub, with dirt roads carving through golden wheat fields that form a pattern of stripes along the foothills of Paardeberg mountain. Along the highway, carefully stacked hay bales form a makeshift café—one of the sole roadside stops—and the only pop of color punctuating the blonde, desert-like expanse (which could double as a backdrop for a Clint Eastwood film) comes from the patchwork of old-bush vines and olive groves. After the winter rains, the native rhinoceros bush takes on an inky hue, which is how the Swartland (Afrikaans for “black land”) earned its name.
While summer might be beginning its swing in destinations across the globe, many travelers have just now started contemplating where they’d like to visit this summer.
