Banff
Stunning, stunning, stunning! That's the scenery in and around Banff's spectacular National Park. It's one town, one lift pass, with access to three areas - Mount Norquay...
The best skiing in Canada tends to be spread across three states, with the most famous resorts being located in Quebec, British Colombia and Alberta. Within BC, the ‘go to’ place is the popular resort of Whistler, where ski fans from all over the world have flocked for more than 50 years.
Rugged mountains provide a scenic backdrop as you look to explore thousands of acres of pistes, whilst neighbouring Alberta is just as picturesque; with Banff in the heart of the Rocky Mountains offering memorable skiing in three top resorts – Mount Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine Village.
Not quite as far is Quebec on the east coast, with the likes of Mont-Tremblant and Le Charlevoix being easily accessible from the UK and offering a little taste of Europe.
Canada has some of the best skiing around, so it follows that you can also expect to enjoy some of the best après-ski when your day on the slopes comes to an end. That après-ski will differ from resort to resort, but you can expect to find plenty of bars and restaurants offering a wide range of entertainment no matter where you go. In Quebec in particular, you’ll want to make sure you sample some of the local cuisine when the chance arises.
It doesn’t matter if you are travelling to Canada as part of a large group, as a family or even on your own, you’ll be able to find accommodation to suit your needs. The options are wide and varied depending on where you decide to go, ranging from small B&Bs and hotels to more impressive chalets where you are free to do your own thing.
Book lift passes in advance for your trip to Canada and then as soon as you arrive, you’ll be able to get down to business and hit the slopes to let the fun begin.
