Few countries on earth celebrate winter like Canada, and the west coast truly knows how to do it. In Vancouver, you can take a walk along the iconic seawall or explore the snow-dusted trails of Stanley Park. The city also has plenty of festive charm in winter – visit the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park, lit up with magical fairy lights, or browse the Vancouver Christmas Market. If you love food, you’ll find amazing restaurants where you can warm up and enjoy the city’s vibrant dining scene.

Just a short 1.5-hour drive from Vancouver, you’ll find Whistler Blackcomb, North America’s largest ski resort. You can ski or snowboard on over 200 marked runs, explore 16 alpine bowls, or take in the breath-taking views across three glaciers. Whistler isn’t just for skiing, though. You can try snowshoeing, snowmobiling, tubing, or even dogsledding. One of the most unforgettable experiences is being led through snowy, peaceful landscapes by a team of powerful huskies – it’s truly something special.

Vancouver and Whistler are the perfect winter combination, offering everything from city adventures to mountain thrills. Whatever kind of winter experience you’re looking for, you’ll find it here!
