Getting There

Caveat: All prices here are indicative only and based on September 2026.

Flights

We flew Air Canada from Heathrow to Calgary direct (see p70).

Return flights from £850 economy, including one checked bag. Bike carriage CAD$50 one way.

Getting to the resorts once you land

Car hire

Canada is very much a car culture and for our ten-day trip, we were able to hire a frankly enormous Ford F150 six-seater pickup truck for just over £330 through Enterprise, before adding on the cost of additional drivers. Fuel costs were half the price of the UK, meaning that we only spent about £150 on fuel for the entire trip, which involved four reasonably lengthy drives between the resorts we stayed at.
