Oregon

Oregon has it all – the beaches along the Pacific Ocean, the mountains and national forests that go up central Oregon and the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. The state is a great place to visit, especially in summer where you can spend your entire vacation outdoors, with near perfect weather. Escape the heat with a dip in the Pacific Ocean or any number of the clear rivers that cover the landscape.

Oregon is a great destination for a holiday, and what we think makes it unique is that the whole darn state is so beautiful. No matter where you go, you find spectacular views. There are also charming towns, full of outdoors adventures. One of our favourites is the town of Bend, one of the great outdoors towns in the US. Surrounded by superb hiking, biking, climbing and lots of snow sports, it’s a cool town with an even better vibe.

In winter, you can find great skiing on Mt. Hood, with plenty of options for XC skiing or snowshoeing. In summer you can do almost anything, from sea kayaking to hiking and climbing. If you need some snow, head up to Mt. Hood (with a guide of course), try to get to the summit and see the remnants of winter's snow or one of Mt. Hood’s glaciers.
