Things To Do

Are you sure you booked enough time off work?

A lot of places claim to have it all. But just look at this list. Canoeing, paddling, and white-water rafting. Biking, hiking, and golf. Skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. Horseback riding, caving, and climbing. Shopping, spa, or just out for a stroll. Galleries and pubs, distilleries and breweries, cafes and fine dining.

Whether you’re climbing the mountains or just looking up at them, we’ve got as many things to do as your legs can handle. Yes, even dog sledding.
