Destination Canada & Alaska 2015-16 by Canada Traveller

CANADA & ALASKA Destination Planner 2015 – 2016

Canada Traveller

– Experience the Difference Bears, whales and other wildlife are some of the major reasons that we love to travel to Canada. To be able to see what we can’t see in our own country is a major draw card and puts Canada on so many of our bucket lists.

That you want to travel to Canada goes without saying. Where, when and how you want to experience Canada is another question.

Canada is a huge country with amazing diversity throughout, seasonal changes and starkly different landscapes, huge wilderness areas and sophisticated cities.

For so long it has been expected that everyone should see Canada the same way through the same tried and true tourist paths.

At Canada Traveller we decided that Canada was too special a destination to limit its potential to what other people think you should see. Hence why at Canada Traveller we sell all of Canada and with our help you have the opportunity to make up an itinerary which allows you to experience the Canada that you want to see.

The Canada Traveller brochure provides you with all the necessary information to decide what you want to do; and we, in conjunction with our travel agent partners, provide the guidance to planning your holiday.

So whether your Canadian trip includes one of the great train trips, Niagara Falls, the grizzlies of the great bear forest, the cosmopolitan shopping and great restaurants of Toronto and Vancouver, or all of the above, we can assist you in your planning and make sure it runs smoothly.

Every time you visit Canada you realise how much more you want to see and how many unique experiences you would like to be a part of.

Having been fortunate enough to have travelled to many parts of Canada I can say that each time it reminds me of how much I haven’t seen and how much more I would like to experience. I have enjoyed all aspects of Canada, the people are friendly and engaging and the scenery compelling.

The seasons add another dimension. Summertime is a great time to travel and is when most of our guests head to Canada.

Winter time is something else again, such a contrast to our own experiences. Frozen lakes and rivers, snow on the ground, great skiing, underground shopping; maybe even a white Christmas. Winter is truly one of the best times to be in Canada. Autumn brings the famous Fall Foliage of eastern Canada which has to be experienced to be believed.

Montreal and Quebec are beautiful cities with their strong French influence. It is fascinating to see people moving from English with a Canadian accent to perfect French like they are the same language.

The Canadian Arctic is a massive land area with very few human inhabitants but good populations of polar bear and beluga whales.

Vancouver Island has its quaint villages and resident Orca populations and of course it is close to Vancouver, one of the great cities with its rugged mountain surrounds uniquely complimented by its beautiful harbour.

So read on and if you don’t find exactly what you want we will find it for you. We are recognised as a specialist travel provider with our well known Cruise World brand, in its 21st year of providing the widest range of cruise holidays available, standing alongside our Canada Traveller tailor made customised holidays in Canada.

We look forward to welcoming you on a wonderful Canadian experience with Canada Traveller.

WHISTLER BLACKCOMB / British Columbia

Whistler Blackcomb Ski

Whistler Blackcomb is a dream destination for people who love to ski and snowboard, with the largest skiable terrain in North America including 16 alpine bowls, three glaciers, world-class terrain parks and half pipes and over 200 marked trails for all ability levels. Whistler Blackcomb has become synonymous with towering peaks, deep snow, innovative ideas and the passionate people who are drawn to it all.

Pacific storms collide with the Coast Mountain Range, reliably depositing over 11 meters of snow each year. Vast alpine bowls and ancient glaciers stretch down to meet a seemingly endless variety of glades, groomers and learning areas that make up the most terrain in North America. The world record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola stretches over four kilometers between the tops of the two mountains to provide an unparalleled experience and a glimpse at an engineering feat. And finally, legendary big mountain athletes, Olympians and Paralympians mingle with the snow

industry’s pre-eminent photographers and film makers, creating a cultural mecca that has made Whistler Blackcomb the number one ski resort in North America.

While Whistler Blackcomb is defined by winter, that is only half of what makes it special. Whistler Blackcomb is late-autumn hikes to pristine peaks covered with wildflowers and wildlife; and it is spring glacier skiing and riding on Blackcomb’s renowned glacier.

From 190 ( 3 days)

Peak 2 Peak Gondola The world record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola solidifies Whistler Blackcomb’s reputation for thinking big. Spanning the distance between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola is a breathtaking 11 minute, 4+ kilometer journey to infinite possibilities. While connecting the incredible high alpine terrain of both mountains, this engineering marvel breaks three world records including the 'Longest unsupported span of over three kilometers', 'Highest lift of its kind at 436 meters above the valley floor' and the 'Longest continuous lift system in the world'.

As part of the world’s longest continuous lift system, the PEAK 2 PEAK links the incredible high alpine terrain of both mountains to help skiers and riders make the most of their day, and in summer, it introduces guests to unprecedented access to Whistler Blackcomb’s high alpine sightseeing, hiking and mountain-top dining. The PEAK 2 PEAK gives sightseers and hikers a serene aerial flight showcasing flora and fauna, including black bears in their protected habitats occupying the flanks of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains; the Coast Mountain Range’s many glaciers and peaks, and Whistler Village, surrounded by gem-like lakes.

The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola is open daily for Winter sightseeing from late November to late April. During Summer the Gondola is open daily from late May to late September.
