Don’t let cabin fever destroy all the goodwill you and your kids built up over the holidays. Make a (mini-) break for one of these luscious lodges and fall in love with winter all over again.


Best for All Ages: Delta Lodge at Kananaskis
Families are top priority at this resort (From $179/night) and during the Family Day Winter Carnival, they pull out all the stops. From a dance party to laser tag to mom sneaking away to the Summit Spa, we dare you to become bored.

1 Centennial Drive, Kananaskis Village; 1-888-890-3222; www.deltahotels.com


Best for Dino Fans: Ramada Inns & Suites
Head to the Badlands for an encounter with a T-Rex and other Jurassic giants at the world-famous Royal Tyrrell Museum. Fuel up on free breakfast at the Ramada (from $119/night) then plunge into the water-slide and hot tub.

680 2 St., Drumheller; 403-823-2028; www.ramada.com


Best for Spacious Living: Blackstone Mountain Lodge
Condo suites (from $219/night) allow everyone to get proper rest, plus mom can get pampered with on-site Verde Spa services, while the rest of the family relaxes in the heated outdoor pool.

170 Kananaskis Way, Canmore; 403-609-8098; www.blackstonecanmore.ca


Best at the Base of the Rockies: Stoney Nakoda Lodge
At the entrance to the Rockies lies a family-friendly lodge (from $119/night ) complete with on-site helicopters, an indoor water-slide and a casino.

888 Nakoda Way, Morley; 1-888-862-5632; www.stoneynakodaresort.com

Best Winter Playground: The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
You’ll find a surreal winter garden with ice sculptures flanking the famous lake, where the ice skating is free and horse-drawn carriage rides await. Take advantage of their “Everyone’s an Original” special or Powder Rates until April 30 (from $139/night).

111 Lake Louise Drive, Lake Louise; 403-522-3511; www.fairmont.com
