Canada's West

Embrace everything old, cold and bold in Canada’s West and fall in love with the region’s staggering beauty, vibrant culture and limitless charm.

Adventure awaits in waterfront Vancouver, British Columbia, a city encircled by skyscraping mountain peaks and glittering Pacific Ocean. Explore the striking natural beauty of cherished Stanley Park, clean as many plates as you can in the storied Gastown district – adored by foodies and history buffs alike – or grab your skis and hit the slopes. No matter what brings you to the city, Vancouver won’t disappoint.

Each journey into Banff is guaranteed to leave you stunned. Surrounded by the impossibly soaring Rocky Mountains, this quaint resort town effortlessly serves as a base for an unforgettable adventure in the greatest outdoors. It’s your best chance to catch a wandering moose up close and personal. Take a scenic drive northward through Banff National Park, visit the glacier-fed Lake Louise and, if you’re lucky enough to visit during winter, take the chance to skate the frozen lake. Those feeling adventurous can walk the catwalks across the Johnston Canyon, take a horse-sleigh ride through the majestic Canadian Rockies, snowshoe through the region’s rich history or drink in jaw-dropping panoramic views from atop Sulphur Mountain.

Savour the spectacular with a stay at Yellowknife, aurora borealis capital of the world and gateway to West Canada’s great subarctic Northwest Territories. Kit yourself out in warm clothing on a visit to Indigenous-owned Aurora Village, a remote oasis far removed from the big city lights and the perfect place to take in views of the sublime flickering lights far above. Learn about the region’s deep Indigenous roots and goldrush history, stay in warmed tepees and sip hot cocoa as you become hypnotised by the view.

Wherever you go, you’ll be transformed by Canada West’s boundless beauty and endless opportunity for adventure.
