Spring, summer and autumn are all ideal for touring, though if you want to ski you'll naturally have to come in winter or early spring.
For campers and those who want to visit the far north, the summer months of July and August are best. Summer is also when many of the country's festivals take place.
Note that the peak tourist season is between Victoria Day (late May) and Labour Day (early September). Although spring and autumn have fewer crowds, lower prices and a more relaxed pace than the summer months, some visitor-oriented facilities and attractions may be closed during these shoulder seasons.
