  • Atlas Mountains, Morocco: With a 30% increase, these rugged peaks are a trending favorite.

Gear Up for Your “Elevacation”

With mountain escapes taking center stage, Pinterest reports a significant rise in interest for “skiing fits” and “mountain trip” outfits. Travel enthusiasts are embracing gear and styles fit for these high-altitude getaways.
