DESTINATIONS WINTER | CANADA


c


anada is renowned for its winter weather, but when the temperatures


drop, a whole new world opens up that summer can’t compete with. Think frozen waterfalls, mountainous landscapes thick with snow, and a whole range of sports and activities that are best done in the winter months. But it’s not just the parks and


ski resorts that thrive at this time of year. Cities across Canada don their best decor and get into the Christmas spirit, with markets and festivals running throughout the holiday season. If a wintry escape to Canada sounds enticing to your customers, we’ve rounded up some of the best ways to enjoy the colder months, from city breaks and cultural trips to winter sports and wildlife viewing. And with the borders open to fully vaccinated travellers, Canada’s winter wonderland is ready and waiting.


BEST FOR . . . WINTER SPORTS There are few places in North America that do skiing and


snowboarding as well as Whistler. With more than 200 trails here, it’s the perfect place for clients who want to add some adrenaline to their snowy escape. The famous Peak2Peak gondola takes skiers between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, while the town is home to a fantastic selection of bars for memorable après-ski. And staying just two minutes’ walk from the mountains’ lifts means you can make the most of the time on the slopes. “The Crystal Lodge & Suites


has one of the best hotel locations in Whistler,” says Julie Franklin, head of agency sales at Inghams. “It’s ideally located in the village, moments from the slopes and well connected to countless shops and


restaurants.” Book it: A 10-night stay at The Crystal Lodge & Suites on a room-only basis costs from £1,218 per person, departing March 30, 2022, including flights with Air Canada and resort transfers. inghams.co.uk
