25 Lonely Little Winter Houses Lost In Majestic Scenery

25 Lonely Little Winter Houses Lost In Majestic Scenery

winter-houses-1__880
Shoveling snow from your driveway, and bundling up in 4 layers of clothes before ever leaving the house isn’t always convenient, but the beauty of winter is so worth it! When snow covers the ground, icicles hang from trees and frost nips in the breeze, entire scenery transforms into a majestic fairytale land.
A lonely, isolated house surrounded by nothing but natural beauty is intriguing to look at 365 days of the year. Yet, when you add a blanket of fresh powder snow to a remote cottage tucked in some tranquil corner of the world it becomes that much more beautiful to admire.
Enjoy these 25 lonely little houses lost in majestic winter scenery, located from Lapland to the Swiss Alps, and from Poland to Norway.

13. Tromso, Norway

In Tromso, Norway you can go fishing all year long, in fact Cod fishing is best during the winter months. You can see what appears to be a small fishing boat attached to a post in the picture above, perhaps a sign of a fisherman living in this lovely little home surrounded by snow.
14. Dents Du Midi In The Swiss Alps

In French Dents du Midi translates to “The Teeth of the South,” a multi-summited mountain located in the Chablais Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The massive configuration has seven distinct peaks and reaches 10,686 feet tall.
15. Öxnadalur, Iceland When traveling through Reykjavik to northern Iceland, you pass through Öxnadalur, the last valley on the journey down to Akureyri. This house appears to be the only house in the world, although other farms do exist in the area, especially as you move further down the mountain.
