Make July and August of 2008 your best getaway ever as Canadian Mountain Holidays Heli-Hiking offers fun-filled packages that combine the energy of your family with the towering beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

A truly crowd-pleasing Christmas gift like this means the whole family can relax in peaceful mountain lodges and take in the rugged beauty of surrounding mountains and forests in Alberta and British Columbia. The variety of Canadian adventure packages offered lets everyone choose the pace that's right for them.

One of the oldest adventure companies in North America, Canadian Mountain Holidays--based out of Banff--is the most experienced Heli-Hiking and Heli-Skiing operator in the world, and demand for their popular vacation packages has been growing steadily since first being offered six years ago. Their top-notch winter packages, which deliver skiers to the finest powder in the world, are matched only by warm-weather tours that showcase nature at the height of summer's finest weather.

The family summer holiday begins in comfort as vacationers are whisked by motor coach through beautiful National Parks to board the helicopters. The scenic flights that follow carry travelers to gorgeous lodges cradled in the mountains.

Custom-tailored to everyone in the family, a Canadian Mountain Holiday offers fun for all abilities and ages, including special activities and hikes for children aged five to 15. The winning combination of fresh air, helicopters, nature hikes and crafts--all under the guidance of experienced child care professionals--is sure to be a hit. Rainy day fun is also planned, in case of stormy weather.

While the kids are busy with their own adventures, the rest of the family can explore their own boundaries on Heli-Hikes which sweep them to exclusive world-class mountain scenery accessible only by air. Certified expert hiking and mountaineering guides tell captivating stories about the geology and geography that create a new appreciation and understanding of these majestic mountain ranges.

Of course, big adventure means big appetites, so each day begins and ends with superb food and friendly talk around the table. Mid-day lunches, afternoon snacks and special mealtimes for the little ones are also included, and a warm evening fire is always crackling. Trail-weary guests are welcome to enjoy a massage, whirlpool and sauna to close out the day.

Let the caring staff, first-class service and unforgettable scenery of Canadian Mountain Holidays make this Christmas--and the summer of 2008--a gift to remember.
