The Atlas Mountains in Morocco, Italy’s Dolomites, and Chile’s “Portillo” ski resort are set to become the most sought-after destinations for 2025, with rising bookings and growing global interest spotlighting these unique mountainous regions, according to Forbes.
“Pinterest Predicts,” a trend forecasting report, cites a 30% rise in searches for the Atlas Mountains. Travelers are drawn to Jebel Toubkal, North Africa’s tallest peak, and the Merzouga Desert’s Erg Chebbi dunes, offering camel treks and stargazing under the Sahara sky.
Marrakech adds to the appeal with its budget-friendly hospitality and modern rail links, making Morocco a hub for adventure and cultural exploration.
The Dolomites in northeast Italy, noted a 45% surge in searches, combining winter sports and summer hiking. UNESCO-listed for its natural beauty, the region features elite ski resorts like “Cortina d’Ampezzo,” glacier skiing in Arabba, and stunning alpine meadows near Castelrotto.
Food lovers flock to Alta Badia, a resort boasting Michelin-starred dining. This year-round destination promises breathtaking landscapes and outdoor activities.
Portillo, nestled in Chile’s Andes, is ideal for avid skiers. Known for its exclusivity, the resort accommodates just 450 guests at a time in a single building, offering indoor and outdoor access. Celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2025, Portillo plans special events, including Chilean wine tastings and guided star walks. Bloomberg named it one of the “25 Best Places to Go in 2025,” highlighting its charm and untouched slopes.
Each destination brings something unique: the cultural richness and affordability of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, the picturesque charm of Italy’s Dolomites, and the secluded luxury of Portillo in Chile.
