Overview
Do as the Canadians do, embrace and enjoy the snow; have some winter fun in the Canadian Rockies.
On your winter holiday in Canada, take a horse-drawn sleigh, drive a team of dogs, don a pair of snowshoes or relax in a hot tub surrounded by beautiful mountains and lots of dry fluffy snow. Drive from the cowboy city of Calgary to enjoy the splendour of winter in the National Parks.
Spend a few days exploring Kananaskis, Banff and Lake Louise, maybe taking in a hockey game and hopefully seeing the Aurora Borealis*.
*Ask us about an extension to Northern Alberta for a Northern Lights viewing holiday.
This itinerary is flexible and can be tailor-made to suit you; if you want to add extra days in one area, extend your winter holiday in Canada or maybe change the direction of travel. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you.
David & Elizabeth - Travelled to BC & Alberta"The holiday you arranged for us was great"
The holiday you arranged for us was great and we really appreciate all the work you did before we actually booked anything. When we were in Canada it became clear that your advice was sound and that you had prevented us from making a few mistakes in what thought we wanted to do, so thanks for that too!
In terms of the detail, we found that you had got the perfect balance between travelling between bases and sightseeing. The distances were never too long and the time spent in each location, although it ranged from one to four days, was just enough for us to see all we wanted but without rushing. So although we drove over 2000 miles, spent a day on a ferry and stayed in seven different locations, we have returned feeling relaxed and rested as well as fully entertained by the wide variety that Canada has to offer. We really feel that your arrangements were better value than anything we could have done ourselves.
