Our northern neighbors know how to bring it when it comes to winter activity. And our idea of freezing is probably a walk in the park for Canadians.

For unusual accommodations, head to the Québec Ice Hotel, which resembles a cathedral. If you don’t want to spend a night, at least grab a drink at the bar (also made of ice) just to say you did it.

You might like the Québec Winter Festival. Some attendants run out in the cold in a bathing suit (or less, if they can get away with it), roll around in the snow, and get a kick out of the absurdity of it all.

But if you’re the kind of person who would rather sit on the sidelines with your clothes on, there’s always that option, as well as a number of less “out there” activities offered at the festival.

Check out the regal Canadian Rockies via the Rocky Mountaineer, train lines that take you from Calgary to Vancouver, or the other way around.
