DIFFICULTY
DIFFICULTY
To get as much out of this trip as possible, all guests should have a satisfactory level of fitness and be able to ski freely at minimum intermediate level including off piste runs and in the powder. Age plays zero role, only that you are young at heart and have a love of skiing or snowboarding.
All travelers require a valid passport (with a minimum of 6 months validity). Norwegians Citizens are not required a visa but need to apply for ETA ( Electronic Travel Authorization). Citizens of some countries will be required a visa. For more information, please contact your local Canadian embassy, or passport office.
Since September 2021 are fully vaccinated people and travels to Canada from Europe allowed again. Here you find updated information about travels to Canada in times of Covid-19.
For other travelinsights or health reccomendations please visit the MD Travel Health website and navigate to your destination country for information about any vaccinations you may require prior to traveling, or please visit your local travel clinic for the most up to date information.
The Canadian currency is the Canadian dollar (CAN). For the latest currency exchange information use a Currency Calculator on google or other browsers or get information right from your bank.
Generally, the best way to get local currency is to use local ATMs when you arrive. Your bank will usually charge you a small fee to do this (typically around $5), and you may also get charged a fee by the local bank, but you will generally get a reasonable exchange rate (as opposed to local banks or money exchange desks).
Since you’re getting charged fees we recommend taking out a few days worth of local currency at a time, and an amount that you would feel comfortable carrying around (e.g. $100-$200). No point in carrying $500 on you just to avoid $5 of ATM fees!
At most places you can pay with your creditcard too. Ask your local bank about possible fees when using your card abroad.
