Mountains, oceans, lakes, rivers and beaches – this region boasts them in breathtaking abundance and beauty. The spectacular setting provides the venue for a vast array of outdoor adventures – Cycle, hike, camp, kayak, sail, golf, ski and snowboard. Always a favoured destination for sophisticated travellers, the climate in Vancouver is mild and temperate, but the region's mountains are equally renowned for their epic snowfalls. So much so, the region has been chosen by the International Olympic Committee for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. We are happy to provide some information and links below.
Please be aware that all those traveling from outside of Canada will be required to show a valid passport at Customs.
