Winter festivals like the Quebec Winter Carnival aren’t the only cold-weather events drawing travelers. If you want to combine festival energy with mountain adventure, these ski hotels offer the best of both worlds.
Perfect for combining the World Ski & Snowboard Festival with luxury lodging. With ski-in/ski-out access, a spa, and several restaurants, Fairmont Chateau Whistler remains a top choice for winter adventure travelers.
Located directly at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, this hotel offers immediate access to slopes and après-ski activities. Outdoor heated pools and private balconies enhance the stay.
During the Quebec Winter Carnival, visitors can explore Hotel de Glace (an ice hotel) or stay at cozy properties near ski centers like Stoneham. Combining snowy festival fun with a ski escape creates a full Canadian winter experience.
Located within Banff National Park, Sunshine Mountain Lodge provides rare ski-in, ski-out lodging right in the Rockies. During SnowDays in Banff, festival-goers can enjoy ice sculptures and live music before hitting the slopes.
Tip: Book early for ski hotels during festival weeks — packages that combine festival access with lift tickets often sell fast.
