Alberta Holidays

Alberta is the land of breathtaking scenery, soaring mountain peaks and unforgettable experiences. From the prairie lands to the eponymous Canada Rockies, Alberta is the ultimate destination for outdoor pursuits. However there is much more to this province than the Rockies. Full of hidden gems, not many travellers know its fascinating fossil discoveries or about its fascinating cowboy and wild-west culture. 

Discover epic mountain landscapes blanketed in vast sub-alpine forests that are criss-crossed by hiking trails; warm up in mineral-rich hot springs; or kayak through rivers or rushing rapids. Whatever you do in Alberta, there's always a heart-stopping view to go with it.

Tick off your wish-list on a glacier adventure to the immense Columbia Icefields before heading into Banff, with its châteaux-style hotels and boutique stores, and reserve a table at one of Canada’s finest restaurants. Get cosy in a mountain lodge to observe nature at its finest, or simply get behind the wheel to drive the stretch from Lake Louise to the Icefields Parkway on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Then continue your adventure in cosmopolitan Vancouver for rugged sea views, farm-to-table cuisine and First Nation culture. Travel on board the award-winning Rocky Mountaineer luxury train to soak up the natural splendour of Canada from the comfort of the panoramic observation car.
