Lakes and Mountains Holidays in Canada
Canada, a land so vast truly has something for everyone, you will witness the most spectacular scenery. Summer holidays in Canada offer landscapes ranging from huge prairie vistas to the towering mountains of the Rockies. Within Banff National Park, both the town of Banff and Lake Louise are a haven for nature lovers and offers some of the best trekking in Canada. There are few places in the world that can match the endless list of activities and entertainment on offer.
Why not combine a walking holiday in Canada with a ‘big city’ break by taking a few days out in vibrant Vancouver. It lies at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, close to the mountains, with spectacular views in every direction. The coastline is astounding with so much wildlife to see, killer whales breaking the surface just off shore, sea lions on rocky beaches and otters playing in the surf. Canada mountain holidays offer so much.
