Stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the East to the Pacific Ocean in the West to the Arctic Ocean in the North, Canada is a vast country boasting an incredible range of adventures.

And the picturesque Canadian Rockies are a fantastic place to start. The Rockies offer the best of both worlds: skiing, snowboarding, ice fishing and more during the winter months, and hiking, fishing, mountain biking and golfing when the temperatures rise.

If champagne powder and exhilarating verticals are your idea of an ideal getaway, trendy Whistler, British Columbia, offers 7,000 acres of skiing and snowboarding terrain to go with ultra-invigorating nightlife. Skiers and golfers (depending on the season) also seek out Quebec's Mont Tremblant for some of the best runs, and sweeping vistas, anywhere.

The waterfront towns of Collingwood and Barrie, meanwhile, offer summer fun, dining and shopping just minutes from the culturally diverse Ontario city of Toronto. Check out our list of Canada vacations resorts, and book your next adventure today.

Eat...

Edgewater Tap and Grill (Niagara Falls). The atmosphere inside is appropriately subdued, given the wonderful panoramic view of the American and Horseshoe Falls outside. Menu selections are a relative bargain, and, in the summer, the large covered terrace is the place to be for a concert or evening fireworks display.

Aviatic Club (Quebec). The Gare du Palais, Quebec City's historic train station, is worth visiting by itself. But add this wonderful retro-style restaurant and its international who's who of dishes, and there's absolutely no reason to stay away. Enjoy delicacies from five continents.

Play...

Parry Sound Festival of the Sound (Ontario). For three weeks each summer (July/August), scenic Georgian Bay becomes the backdrop for countless classical music and contemporary jazz performances. Venues include everything from festival halls to local churches.

Carnival de Quebec. In 2008, Québec City will celebrate its 400th anniversary with a revamped Carnival de Quebec Night Parade. This extravagant affair, with floats, entertainers and musicians, is scheduled for February 1-17.

Explore...

Sugar Shacks (Quebec). Visit one of the area's many sugar shacks and discover why more than 75 percent of the world's maple syrup comes from Quebec. Aside from getting to sample the supply, you can go for a ride in a horse-drawn sleigh and simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Winter Festival of Lights (Niagara Falls). Nearly 3 million lights spread holiday cheer along the Niagara Parkway each winter (November to early January). More than 100 lighting displays also capture visitors' attentions, helping them capture the spirit of the season.

Ice Hotel (Quebec). Every December the process begins all over again: steel moulds and wooden walls form a skeleton for which snow and ice is blown in. When the moulds are removed, the Ice Hotel remains - until the following spring when warmer weather sets in. Tours of the hotel and adjoining ice chapel are held daily, beginning at 10 a.m.

Shop...

Shop Niagara. From the plaza to the two-level Marketplace to The Shops of Table Rock, you'll find an expansive selection of souvenirs, nautically themed collectibles and exclusive Canadian gifts, such as items dedicated to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
