Dear Canada friend,
Snow, snow and more snow. The winter dream come true! Where? In Saskatchewan, of course, where winter, with its abundance of snow and frost, offers excellent opportunities for outdoor activities in nature! When the snow falls in Saskatchewan and the landscape is blanketed in white, strap on some cross-country skis or skates, hit the trails on your snowmobile, harness the horses for a sleigh ride or stay cozy by the fire with some hot chocolate.
Isn’t it cool that Saskatchewan's adventure accommodations help visitors to embrace the snowy season?
Enjoy reading!

By the way, Historic Reesor Ranch was the filming location for a new US Christmas romance last winter! Although A Cowboy Christmas is not yet available in the European market, it will certainly not be long before it is also shown here. Keep an eye out for it!

Its prime location in the Centre Block of the park makes it an ideal base for outdoor activities in nature or excursions. In summer, visit nearby attractions such as Fort Walsh National Historic Site or T.Rex Discovery Center in Eastend.
Guests can choose from accommodation in the cozy hotel rooms (double queen or king), the rustic cabins with 2 or 3 bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting area and private sun deck or the spacious 2-storey townhouses, which additionally feature a natural gas fireplace and air conditioning.
To enjoy the nature of the Cypress Hills to the full in winter, the resort rents out snowshoes and cross-country skis.
