Canada is the essential gap year destination for any traveller wanting to wander in the wilderness or catch a cool, cultural vibe in cosmopolitan cities. Be awed by the majestic splendour of the Rocky Mountains, head off the beaten track in Banff, or spot polar or grizzly bears in trekking heaven. Nothing beats Niagara Falls for its sheer force of nature, and the winter sports scene in Canada is second to none. Skiing, sledding, skating, snow sculptures, Canada really is a gap year winter wonderland. The scenery is stunning all year round and Canada's friendly, laid-back vibe will keep you coming back for more. With lashings of maple syrup and magical mountains, Canada is a gap year destination not to be missed!
