Alberta Holidays

Home to cowboy culture, a diverse heritage and the incredible Canadian Rockies, there’s so much to explore on an Alberta holiday. Discover beautiful prairie lands and the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, blanketed in vast sub alpine forests criss-crossed by hiking trails. It’s a land of outdoor adventure where you can kayak along rivers or rushing rapids, take to the slopes at three world class ski resorts known as “Ski Big 3” or relax and luxuriate in mineral rich hot springs.

In Banff National Park, you’ll find yourself cradled in snow capped mountains and gazing at stunning glacier fed lakes. For breathtaking views over the park, take a ride on the Banff Gondola, or gently paddle across the turquoise waters of Lake Louise or Moraine Lake. Head north along the Icefields Parkway and make your way to Jasper National Park, leaving time to stop for Alberta’s abundant wildlife and the awe inspiring views that will accompany you the whole way. When you reach Jasper, you may find yourself lost in awe at the area’s pristine wilderness and vast mountains, but by night you’ll see the true spirit of the park, as the sky lights up with stars like you’ve never seen before and, if you’re lucky, the stunning Northern Lights.

Cities of the Wild West

Alberta’s vast stretches of stunning wilderness are broken up by its two biggest cities: Calgary and Edmonton. With Calgary’s gleaming skyscrapers and the impressive West Edmonton Mall, they might seem like innately modern cities on first look, but don’t be fooled - this is the Wild West after all, and cowboy culture is still alive and well here.

There are so many sides of Alberta to discover, so why not make your trip a multi centre holiday? Take an unforgettable trip on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train or simply explore the province by car, exploring Calgary and Edmonton and the incredible mountains in between, or combine a visit to Calgary with a trip to Banff and Jasper.
