holidays to alberta & the rockies

Rockies, wilderness and glowing blue lakes – Albertas majestic marvels are uncontested with any other natural beauty.

Prepare to be blown away at every turn on Alberta holidays. Home to the Canadian Rockies, take in the towering snow-topped peaks and turquoise waters. Ride the cable car, ice skate on frozen lakes and stumble across mystical waterfalls on your trails. Are you a wildlife lover? A trip to Jasper National Parks answers that call where grizzly bears, elk and bighorn sheep live. Stay in the charming towns of Canmore and Waterton for a cozy getaway with its rustic vibe and quaint local stores. For a taste of city life, head to Calgary, a great entry point to the Rockies and for delving into its hip neighbourhoods or Edmonton with its trendy eateries, vibrant arts scene and passion for sports.
