Vancouver, Coast & Mountains
Mountains, oceans, lakes, rivers and beaches - this region boasts them in breathtaking abundance and beauty. The spectacular setting provides the venue for a vast array of outdoor adventures - Cycle, hike, camp, kayak, sail, golf, ski and snowboard. Always a favoured destination for sophisticated travellers, the climate in Vancouver is mild and temperate, but the region's mountains are equally renowned for their epic snowfalls. So much so, the region has been chosen by the International Olympic Committee for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Venues for the Games will stretch from the cosmopolitan streets of Metro Vancouver to Whistler Village, a world-class ski resort. Awarding the Games is an honour that recognizes not just the physical capacity of the region to host them, but the international status of the city and its sophisticated amenities. Fine dining, sophisticated shopping, museums, galleries, parks and entertainment options abound - waiting to delight visitors of all ages and interests.
