5 Romantic Winter Getaways in Alberta and BC
Whatever you may think of Valentine’s Day, deep winter is an important time to invest in stoking the fire in our hearts. That includes making time for that special someone in your life. But rather than settling into the couch and going with that old new standby, Netflix and Chill, try something different and shake it up with these romantic winter getaways sure to wow you both.
Smithers, classic winter for two
Going on sleigh rides, roasting treats on an open fire, skating on alpine lakes and (of course) great skiing with the #SmithersVibe sets the mood just right.
Unleash your inner romantic in Jasper
Jasper has always been for lovers, in any season, but we defy you not to melt with a day of skiing and winter adventure followed by an apres fireside experience on Pyramid Lake. It’s hard to beat the beauty of Jasper National Park for romantic moments together.
Try new things together in Quesnel
Take your date for some sunset ice fishing and a night ski on Quesnel’s lit Nordic tracks, or the unlit ones depending on your mutual intentions… just kidding! Keep it PG on the trails! But otherwise, you can let things get steamy in this northern BC destination.
Get away from the crowds in Grande Cache
Want to truly get away from the crowds, with epic alpine views in all directions and no one around to pester you? Grande Cache is the place. Ski here and take in views that will enthrall you.
Ski and Spa at AB or BC ski resorts
We think skiing is romantic. Period. So going skiing anywhere in Alberta or BC qualifies as a romantic getaway to us. But if you’re more avid than your partner, or if you both feel the desire to take some R & R now and then and recharge together, how can you beat the ski and spa combo?
