Land of a thousand winter adventures \u2014 perhaps even your next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From skiing to ice kayaking, fat biking to making your own maple syrup taffy at a sugar shack \u2014 here&#8217;s a round-up of some of Canada&#8217;s best winter activities from coast to coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BRITISH COLUMBIA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a reason why so many Canadians travel to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellobc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B.C.<\/a> for the winter. To start, it&#8217;s (relatively) warm, and if you head out to Tofino on the western edge of Vancouver Island, storm-watching opportunities at the edge of the pounding Pacific Ocean abound. If you have the skills? Surfing those big winter swells is a huge winter draw for many too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer your trips a little less high-octane, head to the mainland for relaxation time in those dreamy hot springs. From heated pools at Nakusp to a more rustic experience at Lussier Hot Springs \u2014 which sits in a cedar forest, on the edge of a wild river in White Swan Provincial Park \u2014 there&#8217;s an ideal experience for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Invermere, near the Alberta border, you also have the world&#8217;s longest skate pathway to glide upon. It&#8217;s on Lake Windermere and it&#8217;s 30 kilometres long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, you&#8217;ll want to head out to the Powder Highway resorts such as Grouse Mountain for rides to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/iStock-825549278-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35370\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ALBERTA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelalberta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alberta<\/a> is a true mountain playground with ski resorts such as the iconic lake Louise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cross-country skiing is excellent here too: If you&#8217;ve always wanted to splurge on a luxury backcountry winter trip, head up to Lake O&#8217;Hara Lodge in Yoho National Park, or Skoki Lodge in Lake Louise. Plus there&#8217;ll be excellent food and roaring fires to welcome you once you arrive. If it&#8217;s your first time on skis though, maybe save that adventure for next year and get some practice in with an instructor at Canmore Nordic Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t feel like skiing, clip on a pair of rented snowshoes over your very warmest boots, then join a tour up to Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park to see those brilliant blue waterfalls ice climbers get their thrills on. If you&#8217;re up for it, you can even join an ice climbing introduction course and try your hand (or ice axe) at the sport yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SASKATCHEWAN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starry nights and snowy trails through shimmery aspen and pine woods \u2014 that&#8217;s what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourismsaskatchewan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saskatchewan<\/a> deserves to be known for in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rent some cross-country skis and enjoy the views around Grasslands National Park. Or head out on a good old-fashioned walk in search of animal tracks. Owls, foxes, and antelope all make their mark upon the snow\u2014and learning to read their stories in the shadows they&#8217;ve cast can feel magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MANITOBA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In autumn, Churchill is known for polar bears who roam the edge of Hudson&#8217;s Bay, but by winter they&#8217;ve all left on ice floes to chase seals, meaning you can relax a bit when you&#8217;re outside and look up for signs of the northern lights. Head to the <a href=\"https:\/\/churchillscience.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Churchill Northern Studies Centre<\/a> to learn all about the phenomenon. Heading into one of the Churchill Hotel&#8217;s Aurora Domes \u2014 aka plexiglass bubbles \u2014 out on the tundra will give you an incredible view of the best show in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelmanitoba.com\/things-to-do\/outdoor\/?utm_source=Google&amp;utm_medium=Search&amp;utm_campaign=2021_TMB_Digital%20Opportunities%3A%20TTD%20Featured%20Placement%20%26%20Campaign%20-%20Outdoors_Manitoba_CD%21_AM%21&amp;utm_content=Travel%20Manitoba&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw7rWKBhAtEiwAJ3CWLIAU5hUnD1O3S03WBbsONrDf3asqKA8BbzJj4rCjak4YqpxRPfmEHxoCwQoQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Manitoba<\/a> is known for its lakes, you might want to try your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelmanitoba.com\/things-to-do\/fishing\/ice-fishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hand at ice fishing<\/a> while you&#8217;re in the province \u2014 perhaps as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntriverside.com\/ice-fishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a gourmet tour<\/a> that lets you stay in a heated ice shack stocked with hot drinks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ONTARIO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re visiting Canada&#8217;s capital in winter, skating on the Rideau Canal before stopping off for a hot, cinnamon-dusted pastry at the Byward Market is a rite of passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter horseback riding, ice climbing, and snowshoeing into ice caves around Algonquin Provincial Park, ice swimming on Lake Ontario with one of the Greater Toronto Area&#8217;s cold swim clubs, or just enjoying a cozy winter stay in cottage county, it&#8217;s up to you\u2014just be sure to leave time for a day or two of skiing at Hockley Valley Resort in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationontario.com\/en-ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">QUEBEC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to spend a day or two dripping maple syrup onto the snow to make your own candy, spending a weekend in the woods at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonjourquebec.com\/en-gb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quebec<\/a> sugar shack is idyllic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for high-octane activities, you could also try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aventurequebec.ca\/en\/fatbike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fat biking in the snow<\/a> at La Mauricie National Park, zipping down icy rock faces via metal cables on a beginners&#8217; wintertime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aventurequebec.ca\/en\/via-ferrata-winter\">via ferrata trip<\/a>, downhill skiing and snowboarding at Mont Sutton, and even ice canoeing \u2014 a sport unique to the province, head onto the St. Lawrence River with a guide for this adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/08\/iStock-1130366625-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35371\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ATLANTIC CANADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside the buzzing city of Halifax, get to know Martock Ski resort&#8217;s terrain park and trails. For even more extreme adventurers, big wave surfing is huge here \u2014 even in winter. If you&#8217;re an experienced surfer, check out Lawrencetown Beach in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novascotia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nova Scotia<\/a> for reliably impressive waves. Or head to a calmer, sheltered spot like Queensland for a very quick polar bear dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All winter, with a guide you can also go sea kayaking. And as the snow begins to melt and the end of winter is felt, you can head to the coast in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newfoundlandlabrador.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Labrador or Newfoundland<\/a> and watch for majestic bergs floating south along what&#8217;s known as Iceberg Alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NUNAVUT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nunavut&#8217;s capital of <a href=\"https:\/\/travelnunavut.ca\/regions-of-nunavut\/communities\/iqaluit\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57837-b69bf698\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"Iqaluit\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">Iqaluit<\/a>, on Baffin Island, is the ideal base for a winter adventure in this territory. From snowmobiling along ancient caribou migration paths to dog sledding across the vast tundra in Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park, seeking out the northern lights with your Inuit guides and looking as you travel for the Arctic foxes and snow-white ptarmigan that make this land their home, <a href=\"https:\/\/inukpakoutfitting.ca\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57837-e7092bea\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"true adventure awaits\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">true adventure awaits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NORTHWEST TERRITORIES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Yellowknife, a friendly gem of a town, there&#8217;s just about no Canadian winter adventure that can&#8217;t be had. You could definitely join an ice road tour and go ice fishing for trout on Great Slave Lake (it&#8217;s the deepest in North America) \u2014 but the reason most visitors show up to the 62.5 degrees north city in the colder months? Spectacular views of the northern lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your chances of seeing pink and green beams of light shimmering and dancing silently overhead are better here than just about any other place on Earth. That&#8217;s because in Canada&#8217;s subarctic, the air is very dry, meaning there are typically few clouds to obscure celestial views. Then there&#8217;s the fact that, in <a href=\"https:\/\/spectacularnwt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NWT<\/a>, you&#8217;re located right beneath the atmosphere&#8217;s band of optimal Auroral activity. Welcome to the &#8216;Auroral Oval.&#8217; It&#8217;s pretty special in the NWT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YUKON<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re in search of a relaxed time while you&#8217;re up in &#8216;Jack London land,&#8217; check out the Yukon Wildlife Preserve to see wolves, cougars, mountain goats, and grizzly bears that help make this place so iconic. For an even more thrilling animal experience while in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelyukon.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yukon<\/a>, enjoy a morning dog sledding adventure out in the mountains around Fish Lake with the family-run <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intothewildadventures.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Into the Wild Adventures<\/a>. You can even ride your own sled if you&#8217;re up for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the time and a car that&#8217;s ready for winter roads, <a href=\"https:\/\/dawsoncity.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dawson City<\/a>, one of the frontier bases for the Klondike Gold Rush, is worth the visit. Up here, just 150 miles from the Arctic Circle, the <a href=\"https:\/\/astronomynorth.ca\/aurora-forecast\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57837-abd89108\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"northern lights are astounding\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">northern lights are astounding<\/a>. You can view them from town, or a 10-15 minute drive will take to 1700 feet up to Midnight Dome for 360<sup>0<\/sup> views. Winter activities abound in Dawson, including cross country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, skijouring and sled dog racing. As for the people, the restaurants, and cafes, they&#8217;re the best around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are you waiting for? From coast to coast, nothing&#8217;s quite as magical as Canada in the winter.
