There’s a chill in the air, and that only means one thing: it’s time to swap our hiking shoes for our snow boots as we head right into the fall and winter travel season!
Our all-new Seasonal BC Travel Guide has launched, containing local travel ideas during the coldest (and merriest) months of the year.
From downhill skiing at one of B.C.’s many ski mountain resorts to indulging in city staycations and local libations, there are no shortage of incredible adventures to be had across the province.
Here’s a selection of some of the best local travel experiences B.C. has to offer in the fall and winter time:
Whistler
Renowned as B.C.’s ultimate winter playground, this mountain paradise is filled with so many unforgettable outdoor activities, from snowmobile tours and heli sightseeing, to ziplining and bungee jumping. You can also spend the afternoon observing the works of Canada’s most celebrated artists at Audain Air Museum and unwind at the scenic and relaxing Scandinave Spa Whistler.
