Weather

Canada is a vast country, therefore, conditions vary a lot, depending on location and season. While parts of coastal British Columbia have mild winters and warm summers, the interior is cold and snowy in winter

Getting there

Airlines from all over the world fly to Canada’s main cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Quebec, etc). Squamish is just an hour away from Vancouver and Whistler. Whistler is located just 2 hours away by road from Vancouver International Airport, along the scenic Highway 99, also known as the Sea to Sky Highway. The easiest way to reach Banff is by flying to Calgary, the nearest airport. If you are planning to climb in the Bugaboos, you should head to Golden, the nearest town, located less than 3 hours drive from the Calgary Airport in Alberta
