Phenomenal Canada Ski Holidays

When you imagine a snow sports holiday to Canada, do you picture:

Deep white fluffy snow
Impeccable hospitality unlike any other nation
Huge mountain ranges as far as the eye can see
A blend of modern and native traditions flowing through resorts
Vast backcountry options to explore the hidden, untouched gems
Knarly terrain not designed for the faint-hearted
Miles and miles of open runs and beautiful tree fields to explore all on-piste

These are just a small example of what you can expect to find at most of Canadas 390+ ski resorts countrywide. However, when you picture the breathtaking mountain ranges, this is more likely to be the Western Canada region. Known for its incredible snow quality and colder climates in the winter, most resorts across the country offer unparalleled ski and snowboard experiences than any other destination, meaning your ski holiday to Canada will be one to remember.

MORE THAN JUST SKI AND SNOWBOARDING

One of the best things about a snow sports holiday to Canada is there is more than just the usual sliding down the mountain with planks attached to your feet. As a nation that fully embraces the winter weather, most resorts have so much more to offer:

Enjoy world-class cuisine and fine wines
Take a helicopter flight over the impressive mountain ranges
Grab some friends and slide down a shoot in a bobsleigh
Grab some ice-skates and go out on a frozen lake
Meet the local pups and let them drag you around the backcountry on a sledge
Go hiking in snowshoes and take in the surroundings at a slower pace
Go crazy through tree-lined fields on snowmobiles
Partner your ski holiday with a stay in fantastic cities like Vancouver, Toronto or Quebec City
Catch a local ice-hokey match during your stay
If you are lucky enough and depending on the season you can do a bit of bear spotting (April onwards)

A ski holiday to Canada has so much more to offer for entertainment, activities and experiences. Because of this, we recommend speaking with one of our Canadian specialists, who can help tailor your perfect holiday.
