Winter Holidays in Canada
Travelling to Canada during the winter months offers alternative holiday experiences with seasonal temptations that go beyond the well-known ski resorts.
With polar bear encounters, northern lights sightings and a whole range of winter activities such as snowmobiling and husky sledging, Canada is well worth considering as a holiday destination outside of the popular summer season.

Northern Lights With Canada's vast land mass extending into the Arctic Circle, some of the more northerly provinces lie well within the aurora belt providing excellent opportunities to view the northern lights from the vast skies over Alberta's Fort McMurray to the fascinating town of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
