Canada – ski resorts
For guaranteed snow, head toward the Rocky Mountains, renowned for their light, dry champagne powder snow. But don’t miss Whistler and the other ski resorts in British Columbia, which boast unbeatable views and challenging pistes. Culture lovers can head to Mont Tremblant in Québec, with its colourful buildings and friendly atmosphere. Most ski areas are best reached from Vancouver or Calgary Airport, with the exception of Mont Tremblant, which is closer to Montréal. Flights (and ski passes) can be rather expensive, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! You'll find just about everything you need on Snowplaza – keep an eye out for packages including accommodation, flights and ski passes.
Accommodation in the Canadian Rockies

In Canadian ski resorts, you can choose beautiful, luxurious hotels or modest accommodation in a comfortable lodge. There’s something to suit most ski holiday budgets.

Canada is obviously not around the corner, but it's definitely worth the trip. Flights from London to Vancouver are about nine-and-a-half hours and Whistler is only two hours from the airport! Fights from London to Calgary are around nine hours and Lake Louise and Banff are 2 hours from this airport. Meanwhile, Mont Tremblant is just a quick hop across the pond, with flights to Montréal lasting only around seven hours.
