If you’re after fun-filled cities and world-class skiing, look no further than British Columbia. There are plenty of backpacker hostels in Vancouver, a majestic, vibrant city and the heart of Vancouver’s entertainment district is home to many great hostels such as the HI-Vancouver Central Hostel, and the SameSun Backpacker Lodge, the largest downtown hostel in Vancouver.

Whistler, with legendary skiing conditions and home to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, is certainly worth making the 115-kilometre trip out of Vancouver.
