Making Memories and Building Family Traditions at Callaghan Country

It isn't a surprise that Scandinavian cultures are recognized for their concepts of Hygge and Friluftsliv; they offer the essential foundation for any good family tradition.  Cultivating your own meaningful family traditions can have numerous positive outcomes: providing a source of identity, strengthening the family bond, offering comfort & security, connecting generations, all the while creating lasting memories.  

This winter we welcome you to our backyard, where guests of all ages can have fun playing & laughing together in the natural world.  Whether you're coming to XC Ski or Snowshoe, our rustic, yet comfortable facilities inspire nostalgia of times past...when family time didn't compete with technologies, and memories were built around traditions of human connection. 

​As you come together for the annual Thanksgiving holidays, we invite you to consider starting some new family traditions in the Callaghan...

Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are great winter activities for families to enjoy together. You'll quickly discover it's more affordable and easier to get into than alpine skiing. Bring the wee ones and comfortably tuck them in for a ride in a Ski Chariot (available for rent at Access Callaghan Ski Shop).  Kids can start Nordic skiing as early as 4 or 5.  ​Trail tickets & Passes here are FREE FOR CHILDREN AGES 6 & UNDER.  It's great exercise, gets you out in the great outdoors, and offers ample opportunity to build genuine family bonds!  Get a full Nordic Season Pass at the best rate available before October 8, 2018​...To purchase the Family Season Passes, please call: 604.964.0059

At the end of your family day in the Callaghan, kick back & toast some marshmallows by the trailside bonfire or cozy up next the fireplace in our rustic warming hut.  It's the perfect setting to swap stories and share in the pride of developing your skills in the outdoors.
