Snow and winter adventures
Ski and winter holidays.
The Great White North.
Canada is renowned for its snow. It’s one of the best places in the world to ski, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to winter’s pleasures in the Great White North. As well as skiing and snowboarding, there’s snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, or simply walking in a winter wonderland: quintessential Canadian experiences not to be missed.
Snowshoeing
The easiest way to experience a winter wonderland: if you can walk, you can snowshoe.
PEAK 2 PEAK
The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola links Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, one of the longest and highest lifts of its kind in the world.
Red Mountain Resort
One of the oldest ski hills in North America, with a history going back to the early 1900s. In the Monashee Mountains just north of the US border, Red Mountain is known for light, dry powder, with around 750 cm of snow a year.
Sulphur Mountain
Named for the hot springs on its lower slopes, Sulphur Mountain has a gondola up to the summit ridge, with restaurants, observation decks and views along the Bow Valley. A boardwalk continues to the top of Sanson’s Peak.
Dog sledding
Snowy Owl Sled Dog Tours, pioneers of sled dog touring and racing in the Bow Valley, ran their first dog sledding tours more than a quarter of a century ago.
Snowmobiling
Revelstoke, one of the snowiest places in Canada, is an ideal place for a snowmobile adventure.
A winter wonderland
There’s nothing quite like a stroll through the breathtaking beauty of a Canadian pine forest in winter.
