Ski info

Because of their extended seasons, unrivaled snow, serene slopes, and diverse terrain, Canadian ski resorts are renowned worldwide. Both the east and west coasts of Canada have ski resorts; the latter is home to well-known locations including Banff, Lake Louise, and Whistler. Experts will love Whistler's deep powder courses, while thrill-seekers will adore Banff's heli-skiing.

In Canada, the majority of ski resorts are open from December to April. No matter when you visit, the snow is always there because temperatures can drop significantly below those in Europe.

Travel info

British nationals can enter Canada without a visa, but they must have a valid passport and an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before they can go. An eTA currently costs $7 CAD, and you may apply for one at www.Canada.ca/eta.

Additionally, you will need a valid insurance policy that includes coverage for winter sports when you book your ski holiday with us.

Canada is home to over 290 ski resorts, offering a diverse range of experiences across its vast landscape. Major resorts like Whistler Blackcomb and Banff's Big 3 are world-renowned, but Canada also boasts hidden gems for a more intimate experience.

Places like Red Mountain, Revelstoke, and Whitewater in British Columbia, or Mont-Sainte-Anne in Quebec, provide excellent skiing with fewer crowds. These hidden gems offer untouched powder, challenging terrains, and stunning natural beauty
