Halifax, Nova Scotia, Icelandair's closest North American destination, is the the hub of Atlantic Canada. There is truly something for everyone in Halifax. Whatever kind of vacation you desire, from shopping and entertainment to adventure to romance to rest and relaxation, you’ll find it in Halifax. And wherever you go, you’ll find one common trait: the warmth of our people. Time and time again, visitors remark on the open, friendly nature of Haligonians. It’s a place where locals welcome you like an old friend. Part of the joy of Halifax is how close it is to nature. Within minutes from the downtown core, you can be fishing, surfing, camping, or sea kayaking. Sink your toes into the white sand beaches, or watch the crashing waves from the rocks at Peggy’s Cove.

Unspoiled, Unparalleled, Unforgettable
Without question, the Lake Louise Ski Area’s awe-inspiring, panoramic scenery is its most memorable attribute. Poised proudly at the very pinnacle of Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lake Louise, “Mother Nature’s Playground”, is consistently lauded as the most scenic ski area on the planet.
And the skiing is worthy of the magnificent setting, in every way! Lake Louise enjoys a reliable six-month-long-season, and is known for the light, dry, champagne powder that typifies the Canadian Rockies. Four vast mountain faces make it possible to follow the sun all day long, and tally up to an impressive 4,200 acres of skiable terrain. The unique design also sets Lake Louise apart; with novice, intermediate and advanced runs down from every chair, groups of all abilities and interests can explore the whole, huge area together. There is an abundance of gentle slopes and long, cruising runs, but, famously, also an enormous choice of the some of the most challenging terrain in Canada.
