Canada winter holiday experiences
Winter holidays in Canada provide a great deal of exciting opportunities, offering varied experiences from extreme sports to taking in the impressive wildlife. There are many destinations across the country which are ideal for skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports, with these activities enjoying a great deal of popularity within Canada. The Winter Olympics were held in Canada as recently as 2010, with Vancouver & Whistler playing host to this monumental occasion.
A ski safari of Canada is a popular choice, taking in Banff, Jasper and Whistler. These areas provide ski enthusiasts with some tremendous courses, as well as more gentle slopes for those who may be taking a ski holiday for the first time. The Rocky Mountains of Canada are well known for their incredibly beauty, and can be explored in gorgeous winter surroundings by taking the week long Snow Train to the Rockies tour. As well as the traditional winter pastimes of skiing and snowboarding, ice hockey is the most popular sport in Canada. If your winter holiday in Canada happens to coincide with a big hockey fixture, this can be an exhilarating and memorable experience which also offers the chance to immerse yourself into Canadian culture.
Stunning winter holidays in Canada
A Canadian winter holiday does not have to be a fast paced extreme sports experience. If you prefer your holidays to be a little more relaxing, there are many glorious sights which can be taken in as part of Canada tours. The Yukon is an area of Canada with great natural beauty, with stunning views of world famous phenomenon the Northern Lights. This incredible spectacle is sure to create a truly memorable experience if you are lucky enough to witness it, while there are many other sights and activities which can be partaken during the day.
One of the most exciting and traditional ways to explore the Yukon Territory is a thrilling dog sled ride, with a husky dog team guiding you across the stunning landscape at speed. Snowmobiling and snow shoeing are further options for making your way across the Yukon, ensuring you will never be short on opportunities for adventure.
