Live it up in a Summer Mountain Resort
It is no secret that a Working Holiday in Canada is a bucket list item for thousands of Kiwi’s and Aussie’s every year. That might have something to do with it being a top travel destination year in year out. It could also have something to do with it being home to some of the most liveable cities on the planet. We don’t even need to mention the amazingly diverse landscapes, rich culture and lovely people that live there.
That’s why you’re here though – because you are interested in exploring Canada – where unforgettable experiences occur on a daily basis. So if you aren’t keen to experience the awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies and enjoy great times with even better people – no need to read on. If you are down to go on a working adventure of a life time – check out what some of our new summer jobs employers in Canada have to offer below, and get your Work Canada Summer Jobs application in as soon as you can!
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is located 14km from the quintessential Canadian town of Golden – a town with a rich history of logging and one of the predominant stops on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in summer is widely known as a Mountain Biking paradise.
The Kicking Horse Mountain Resort mountain bike park has higher elevation than all other bike parks in Canada which makes for amazing views. It also has one of the longest descents in North America, boasting 3,700 feet of some seriously technical mountain bike tracks. While there is something for everyone who can ride a mountain bike – make no mistake – you are gnarly if you live, work and ride at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.
Fernie Alpine Resort
Fernie Alpine Resort, Fernie in south-eastern BC is another classic Canadian small party town. With its interesting history of mining for over 100 years as well as a string of forest fires that levelled the town – giving rise to amazing architecture downtown – Fernie Alpine Resort has a lot to offer. Throughout summer, Fernie Alpine Resort puts on unreal summer events – forage and feast tours to fill you up, bird sighting sessions to open your eyes to the beauty and nature you are surrounded by and mountain bike tours that quench your thirst for thrill (and great Canadian beer).
Fernie might not be the largest resort town in BC – but it knows good food, great drink and wild parties. Head to ‘Griz Bar’ to see incredible local live music. Wander over to ‘The Brickhouse’ to get a taste of its world class Mediterranean infused menu. Ready to cut some shapes? ‘The Royal’ throws a wild party that will satisfy your desire to boogie.
