Five Peaks in Five Days is for ski lovers who want to experience as many different slopes as possible in the shortest possible time. Located in the heart of Quebec's Eastern Townships, these ski destinations will enchant skiers of all levels. Wood & Westland designed this Sunday to Friday tour so you'll find short or no waits for lift lines. After a generous breakfast at your inn, a quick van transfer will take you to the peak of the day, where the resort's "ski host" will greet you and take you on an insider's tour of each mountain. Perhaps you would like to trade in your lift ticket to spend an afternoon dog-sledding, ice-skating or try your hand at ice fishing. This wonders of winter ski package was designed so that you get the true Canadian experience.
Your historic country inn, centrally located to all our peaks, is in heart of the Victorian village of Knowlton, Quebec. Enjoy après–ski cocktails by a roaring fire, then feast on five-course dinners in their award-winning dining room. If you want a break from the slopes, we have plenty of options: shop for antiques in the many boutiques just footsteps from your inn, have a massage, or visit a health spa. Our goal is to make your holiday the best possible, and provide you with a worry-free vacation. Hit the slopes with Wood & Westland. We'll introduce you the best peaks in East!
