Fly from the UK to Vancouver

With its breath taking location, surrounded by sandy beaches and spectacular mountains, Vancouver combines the best of outdoor life with a vibrant and cosmopolitan city. A starting point perhaps for one of our many, fantastic multi-destination trips, you’ll be surprised at just how much one city can offer.

Hike in the temperate rainforest close to Vancouver or take a spectacular floatplane ride to Victoria, spotting basking whales from the air. Further afield, marvel at the fjords and majestic mountain ranges. Remember to carry your camera with you at all times, to capture those amazing natural canvasses that present themselves so readily in and around this beautiful city.

With so much water and wide open spaces to explore, climb aboard a yacht for a spot of sailing around the harbour or paddle a kayak along the seashore. Alternatively, hire a bike and cycle along the seawall at Stanley Park, enjoying the great outdoors at your own pace, just like the locals do. If you want to get up close and personal to a different type of inhabitant, take a trip to the Grouse Mountain’s Refuge for Endangered Wildlife to see the resident Grizzly Bears – Grinder and Coola!

With so much to see and do, having a holiday in Vancouver is not just one of the most wonderful places on earth to live it’s also a great place to enjoy a visit, over and over again!

Legendary Whistler Blackcomb is widely regarded as one of the top four-season resorts to visit on a Canada multi-centre holiday.

The resort appears regularly in "Best of" lists from around the globe, winning for its incomparable skiing and boarding, as well as for its hotels, restaurants and golf courses. Whistler became even more world-renowned as the site of the alpine and Nordic venues for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Blending the charm of an alpine village with the amenities of an urban centre, the pedestrianized Whistler Village offers fine dining, vibrant nightlife, eclectic boutiques, revitalising spas and luxurious hotels. Over 2 million holiday makers visit Whistler every year to enjoy these many attractions.

Whistler is great for families too – it was chosen as #2 out of the Top 10 Family Vacations in Canada in the Travellers' Choice 2011 Best Family Vacations on TripAdvisor. Catch events like the TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival in April, and Cornucopia: Whistler's Celebration of Wine and Food in November.

When booking a Canada multi-centre holiday, why not stop off at the enormous Lake Louise, one of North America's largest ski areas offering incredible varied terrain over 4 mountain faces. At Lake Louise there is more terrain to ski than you can do in a week!

The scenery is spectacular, with views right down the valley, across to Lake Louise itself in the distance, and over majestic snow-covered mountain peaks as far as the eye can see. You will be blown away by the sheer beauty and peaceful atmosphere surrounding the small resort town of Lake Louise. With only a handful of restaurants, shops and bars, you can enjoy a relaxing break away whilst mixed with some of the most thrilling skiing in the world - the perfect combination.

The resort is one of our favourite spots for families as the friendly atmosphere feels like a home from home. Plus from each lift on the mountain you can enjoy runs to suit every level of skier, so perfect for families to enjoy skiing together.

The snowfall at Lake Louise is out of this world and a powder snow heaven. That's why every year it is home to the Men's and Women's World Cup downhill ski races. A spectacular time to be in the buzzing village. Call us to find out more about Canada multi-centre holidays incorperating a ski holiday to Lake Louise.

A popular Canada holiday stop off is Calgary. A city in the province of Alberta, Canada. It is situated on the Bow River in the south of the province, in an area of foothills and prairie, approximately 80 km east of the front ranges of the Canadian Rockies

Calgary enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other major city in Canada, so bring your sunglasses whatever time of year you visit. Whilst the summers are warm and dry thanks to the 'Chinook wind' that visits several times a year, the winter temperatures can be quite variable from one day to the next so make sure you bring plenty of layers to make sure you make the most of the great outdoors. It’s perfectly placed for winter sports with the world-class centres of Banff and Jasper just an hours drive away. The city is famous for its many festivals with events celebrating everything from folk music to comedy, but it’s probably best known for the Calgary Stampede, an almost-100 year old, ten day rodeo event which takes place every July. Cowboys and snowmen? Calgary’s got the lot!

Downtown Calgary is a bustling place filled with excitement, with a mixture of shopping, bars, restaurants, public squares and cultural venues such as the Olympic Plaza. Steven Avenue and The Core Shopping Centre are the largest and most popular shopping locations. A great Family day out can be enjoyed at The Calgary Zoo. For those of you who like to sightsee, the Calgary tower is a feat of engineering and awe inspiring addition to the skyline. Call us for more information on local tours and attractions to enjoy when visiting Calgary on your multi-centre holiday to Canada.
