catered chalet holidays in Canada

Canada ski holidays offer fairytale mountain scenery, with deep powder off piste, well groomed wide pistes which seldom feel crowded with fewer queues for the lift systems. Most Canadian resorts are at high altitude and purpose built and from the smallest of resorts to the hugely developed ones, you will find a very professional, organised and service oriented ski industry. The range of skiing more than meets all levels of skier and snowboarder, especially those that enjoy the back country stuff.

All Canadian ski resorts are not the same and to ensure an unforgettable experience skiing in Canada its worth sure of what you want from your holiday, before looking for the resort that best meets your needs. Most importantly though a catered chalet holiday in Canada is almost certainly going to be a slick, hospitable and stress free experience, set in an environment of spectacular beauty and with an excellent snow record. If you take your skiing seriously and are not too bothered about traditional villages and all day après ski, then Canada is a great alternative.

skiing in Canada

The resorts in Canada are many and offer a variety of ski terrains with the Rockies in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta and the Laurentian Mountains in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. And with the long winters and high altitudes you will find skiing facilities from late Autumn through till late Spring. Some of them most popular ski areas/resorts are Whistler, Banff and Mont-Tremblant offering the best of the best, long runs, sharp drop offs and many other activities to entertain you if you want a day off from skiing. There is a school of thought that says that skiing holidays in North America are more of a sport than a leisurely vacation, and the infrastructure definitely supports that aim.

The catered chalet concept is very much a European idea and has not found roots in North America as yet. There are a few catered options available but the catering on offer usually extends to breakfast only. Most accommodation, besides hotels, like apartments, rooms in lodges and condos will provide a kitchenette, facilitating the self catering aspect. But there are usually more than enough places to eat if you aren't interested in cooking for yourself. The accommodation is often more roomier than found in Europe, but they still do have their own anomalies, eg a one room apartment sleeping 4, may well have two queen size beds in the bedroom and no sleeper couch, good for families, not so good for friends! It is always worth checking the exact configuration you are enquiring about.
