Club Wyndham Bavaria

GERMANY

Located in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, Club Wyndham Bavaria is a perfect base from which to explore the surrounding areas that offer a veritable winter playground for people of all ages. Take a day trip to busy Munich or picturesque Salzburg, skate on nearby Lake Schliersee, ride a horse-drawn sleigh through the snow, or visit the Castle Von Neuschwanstein - you’ll feel like you’re living in a fairytale!

The fun carries on when you return to the resort, where an indoor heated pool with a waterfall, a sauna and steam room, nine-pin bowling alley, games room, restaurant and bar give you everything you need on site to stay merry and bright. And the Studio Deluxe rooms let two people sleep comfortably through the night.

Club Wyndham Sundance Resort Naeba

JAPAN

Just 80 minutes from Tokyo by train, Naeba is one of the popular ski precincts in the Japanese Alps. It is known for its hot springs and cool, family-friendly slopes for beginner and intermediate skiers alike.

The cosy rooms sleep up to four people. It is customary in Japanese rooms to remove your shoes before going inside. Luckily, the rooms have heated floors to keep your feet warm, and the property has special lockers where you can store your skis for ease of use.

WorldMark Canmore Banff

ALBERTA

Nestled in Alberta’s Bow Valley, 110km from Calgary, this resort is a picturesque retreat surrounded by snow-capped mountains where you can snowshoe, snowboard, go skiing or dog sledding and more, or simply sit and enjoy stunning views of the Canadian Rockies from your suite.

Canmore is a quaint former mining town full of art galleries, pubs, and restaurants conveniently located less than 16km from Banff National Park and an hour away from Lake Louise.

Choose from a studio, one-bedroom or two-bedroom to comfortably sleep from two to six people. When the temperatures dip, guests love to take a dip, too, either in the outdoor heated pool or in one of the indoor and outdoor hot tubs.

WorldMark Big Bear

CALIFORNIA

The remote mountain beauty of WorldMark Big Bear is just what you need to recharge your batteries, giving you a peaceful escape at the end of the year. Located a three-hour drive from Los Angeles or San Diego and at almost 2.1km above sea level, the crisp mountain air and sparkling waters of Big Bear Lake make this an outdoor lover’s dream destination. Imagine spending the holidays enjoying world-class skiing and snowboarding at Bear Mountain and Snow Summit or hiking and mountain biking along the many scenic paths nearby.

Back at the resort, you can get cosy indoors with your own gas fireplace – there’s one in every suite.  Whether you're travelling with extended family or a smaller group of friends, you will appreciate the privacy of separate bedrooms, the economy of a fully equipped kitchen and the convenience of a washer/dryer - all comforts that would be hard to find in an average hotel and that will give you a feeling of “home for the holidays” even though you are a world away.

WorldMark Park City

UTAH

Surrounded by mountains, the scenic community of Park City boasts three world-class skiing and snowboarding resorts - Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort, and Canyons. Tubing, snowmobiling, and sleigh rides are other popular outdoor activities, while Old Town is a lively gathering place with restaurants, galleries and swanky boutiques filling historic buildings that once housed saloons and boarding houses. You won’t want to miss a visit to the world’s only ski–in distillery to taste handcrafted whiskey or vodka to get into the “spirits” of the season!

Other unique attractions in the area include Utah Olympic Park, where you can watch athletes in training – some of whom are known to freestyle jump into the Aerials Pool with their skis on. While there, you can travel to the top of the world's highest altitude ski jumps and ride the Comet Bobsled down the track - reaching speeds of up to 65 miles per hour - or try the Extreme Zip. If heart pounding thrills aren't your thing, check out the Heber Valley Railroad, where vintage and restored coaches are pulled through beautiful Heber Valley by diesel and electric locomotives.

Back at the resort, you can unwind in the outdoor heated pool and hot tub, read a book by your in-suite fireplace, or watch a movie at the on-site movie theatre. The spacious two, three, and four-bedroom suites of between 113 to 200 square metres are suitable for up to ten guests.
