Ski Holidays in Canada

Canada is incredibly vast in size, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The variety in landscapes you will encourage range from high mountain peaks, endless forests, and open plain fields. Although a self-governing dominion, it still retains ties with the British crown. However, it is more economically and technologically paralleled with the United States.
 
The country is home to many different cultures because of its immigrant groups who bring with them all sorts of languages and beliefs and this is reflected in the Canadian concept as a whole.
 

Canadian cuisine is influenced by a variety of palates including Indian, Chinese, Greek, and German, just to name a few. The culture of ‘roadhouses’ is popular as well which serve American style burgers, chicken wings, and salads.

Canadian beers are very influenced by European tastes and it is one of the only countries that home brews a wide range of its malts. Similar to the southern US, the Canadians also drink prepared sweetened iced tea. Standard soft drinks and bottled water are readily available.
 

Canada offers a diverse range of activities and sights to see during your stay. A visit to Toronto is never complete without a visit to the world’s tallest building, the CN tower which hovers above the ground with views of Toronto and Lake Ontario.

The Rocky Mountains which stretch across a large part of the country are an iconic beacon. The Rocky Mountain Rail Tour will give you access to the winter paradise up-close and personal. If you want to enjoy snow sports closer to the ground, a visit to Banff National Park and Lake Louise Ski Resort will put you up against some of Alberta’s greatest slopes.
