For winter adventure travel in Canada you can't beat Whistler. Thanks to its setting in British Columbia's Coast Mountains, Whistler is an unparalleled year-round destination resort, offering its visitors a wide variety of both winter and summer activities besides an almost endless choice in dining, shopping and nightlife.
In addition to the downhill ski facilities, visitors can enjoy cross-country skiing, heli-skiing, ice skating, snowmobiling, sleigh-riding, dog-sledding, mountaintop sightseeing, world-class golfing, mountain biking, hiking, in-line skating, horseback riding, sightseeing, canoeing, kayaking and fishing besides other recreational pursuits.
Or for a true wilderness adventure head to Ukkusiksalik National Park. It is located west of the community of Repulse Bay and the Arctic Circle, surrounding Wager Bay, a 100 kilometre long saltwater inlet on the northwest coast of Hudson Bay in Nunavut. Declared a national park in 2003, Ukkusiksalik became Canada's 41st national park.
Named after the soapstone found within its boundaries, the park includes 20,500 square kilometres of eskers, mudflats, cliffs, rolling tundra banks and unique coastal regions. Ukkusiksalik in Inuktitut means "the place where soapstone to make pots and oil lamps is found." Activities here include hiking, camping and boating for the ultimate adventure.
