LUXURY TRAVEL IN CANADA WITH THE LEGACY UNTOLD

Snowcapped mountains, lush rainforest, emerald lakes and endless plains. National parks the size of countries, the world’s longest coastline, and the biggest vertical drop on the planet. Picturesque lighthouses and quaint fishing villages, playful pods of whales, and majestic polar bears. Canada is a study in contrasts – a place where luxury resorts sit on the edge of the dramatic ocean, where stargazers count the galaxies in vast dark sky preserves, and where adventure-seekers scale some of the highest and most stunning summits in North America. There are many ways to explore Canada – it all depends on how much time you have, and where your passions lie.

It’s no secret why Canada’s intoxicating combination of rugged wilderness and exquisite hospitality is legendary. Here, you can kayak alongside playful whales, hike to frothy waterfalls and explore ancestral First Nation villages. You can follow in the footsteps of the rare spirit bear in the 6.4-million-hectare Great Bear Rainforest, the largest coastal temperate rainforest in the world. You can watch 10,000-year-old icebergs sail along the glittering Iceberg Alley, or take a helicopter to picnic in untouched mountain locations. And after a long day of adventuring, you can indulge in a symphony of feasts inspired by every province in the country – from locally sourced arctic char and Alberta organic beef to French-Canadian cheeses and Okanagan Valley wines. Whatever your pleasure, you can rest assured your explorations of Canada will stay with you long after you’ve departed for home.

IN CANADA

Rooftop hot tubs, wellness experiences and inventive cuisine inspired by locally caught seafood, foraged plants and pasture-raised meats await your return after a day of adventuring amid Canada’s glacier-fed lakes, leafy trails and startingly blue coastlines. Luxury lodges and resorts were designed to spotlight the country’s spectacular outdoors – from watching the restless ocean through floor-to-ceiling windows to seeing bears foraging for breakfast.

PLANNING YOUR TRIP

WHEN TO GO

Canada’s distinct seasons means there are adventures to be had every single day of the year. In the Arctic, the window to visit is short, between early July and mid-August. In the rainforest, black bears can be seen in spring summer and fall, while grizzlies can be found as early as May and June and thrive when the salmon make their way upstream from August through November. And April to October is prime whale watching.
