SKI BREAKS IN CANADA

We have fantastic deals on Canada ski holidays all year round. Skiing in Canada is the perfect antidote to the crowded slopes of some of Europe's traditional ski resorts. Vancouver is an excellent base for skiing, with Grouse Mountain (where floodlit pistes allow night-time skiing) only about half an hour's drive away. Whistler, just 90 minutes drive north of the city has the highest lift-serviced piste in North America and incredible fall-line runs, while Kootenay to the south of Vancouver is usually pleasantly empty.

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Banff and Jasper National parks are transformed into excellent ski resorts during winter, offering down-hill skiing for all levels and even heli-skiing. Cross country skiers will want to head further north to Whitehorse, Yukon, which has perfect conditions, landscapes and facilities. In Canada's eastern territories, skiing is also possible in the mountains around Quebec and Montreal.

Whistler ski resort

Amidst the spectacular scenery of the coastal mountains of British Columbia lies one of the most exciting ski resorts in the world. Ski & Board magazines are unanimous in their praise of Whistler/Blackcomb and travel writers from around the globe are fast running out of superlatives to describe what must be the best on mountain experience in our solar system! Whether you are about to try skiing or boarding for the first time or are a seasoned veteran, Whistler will surpass your expectations for a truly memorable winter sports holiday. An impressive network of high speed lifts access over 200 marked trails and ten magnificent powder bowls spread across two mountains. Every ability level is catered for in this enormous ski area.

A relaxed, west-coast atmosphere pervades the attractive resort designed by skiers for skiers. Convenience and quality are the keys to Whistler's success. Be warned, once experienced, it is difficult to consider anywhere else for a winter sports holiday.

Tremblant ski resort

Located in the Laurentian Mountains and boasting the highest ski mountain in the French-Canadian province of Quebec, Tremblant has operated as a ski resort since the 1930s and has gained an enviable reputation for offering quality skiing and facilities in a refreshingly different atmosphere. A state-of-the-art lift system, including no less than 5 high-speed quads, serves 600 acres of exciting tree-lined trails ranging from easy greens to taxing blacks.

The pedestrianised New Village area, where most of the accommodation is conveniently located, is no more than a few paces from the slopes and has been meticulously designed to evoke its early Quebec heritage, with gabled roofs, dormer windows and balconies all exuding a romantic old world charm. The area's French influence is in evidence everywhere, particularly when it comes to culinary experiences. The modern village rubs shoulders with the historic village of Vieux Tremblant, which has recently been restored to its former glory and adds real character to this charming resort.

Lake Louise, Banff ski resort

The small village of Lake Louise is situated in the Banff National Park and is surrounded by stunning scenery. Comprising a handful of shops, bars and restaurants, the village has a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. The ski area is huge and really caters for everybody, with a choice of an easy or more taxing route down from the top of each chairlift. There are over 150 trails in total, the longest of which is over 5 miles in length.The wide open back bowls offer great steep terrain or wide open powder fields.

There is always a mountain restaurant never far away. Visitors to Lake Louise should not miss an opportunity to visit the ski areas of Banff Mount Norquay and Sunshine Village which are included on the Tri-Area pass available in Lake Louise.

All guests that drive to the resort from the airport will have to pay approximately $70 for a permit to drive in the National Park

Banff ski resort

Situated in the Banff National Park area of Canada's Rocky Mountains. The skiing is divided into three separate areas: The Banff Mount Norquay ski area is some 15 minutes from Banff by ski bus, offering excellent beginners' areas on the lower slopes, as well as plenty of more challenging slopes higher up.

Sunshine Village is 25 minutes from Banff and offers excellent skiing for all levels - but is especially good for intermediates, offering mile-after-mile of long runs and superb powder possibilities.

The third area is Lake Louise, 45 minutes from Banff and one of Canada's top ski resorts, certainly the most extensive of the 3, offering excellent facilities and skiing for all abilities.

Banff itself has a wonderful frontier town atmosphere, with interesting shops, saloons and restaurants. Being situated in the middle of a national park it is not unusual to see wild animals such as elk wandering down the main street of this beautiful town.
