Canada is famous for its wild northern frontier and distinctive Royal Mounted Canadian Police. However, there is much, much more to this diverse country than mountains and 'mounties' and its distinct patchwork of peoples make up a unique country that is decidedly different from neighbouring America.

Canada is also famous for excellent ski resort with consistent snow conditions and absolutely breath-taking countryside. The resort of Banff is situated right at the heart of a National Park, so expect amazingly beautiful ski runs among forested mountains and ice-clear blue lakes. All this and a wonderfully relaxed après-ski scene, saloons and shops. Lake Louise is another world class ski resort covering 11 square miles and, like Banff, conditions suitable for all abilities. There is a low key après here with a few night clubs and a handful of bars and restaurants.
