BIG CHILL

The Shangri-La Vancouver has debuted a winter getaway itinerary that takes luxury to new heights – and depths. Along with a three-night stay and some other swish perks, the hotel’s Ice Cave Adventure, created with outdoors specialist Head-Line Mountain Holidays, includes a private helicopter journey to the Whistler Ice Caves. There, you’ll experience a guided tour via snowmobile, bike or buggy and a five-course meal. Back on the heli, you can explore the region and touch down for a Champagne tasting. A private photographer documents the whole trip.

“Luxury travel has evolved, and trends point in the direction of experiential travel that is truly memorable, private and in unique natural surroundings,” says Shangri-La Vancouver resident manager, Kate Martin. “This unique experience was inspired by the beauty of British Columbia and wanting to give people access to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.”
