Bundle up for a chilled-out Canadian adventure like you’ve never experienced.
There’s a different feeling in the air during an Alberta winter, and no, it's not just the temperature. Fewer people, clear skies and an increased sense of adventure make outdoor activities truly epic. Hikes become snowshoe excursions, the northern lights come out to play, and natural attractions like canyons and lakes become entirely new experiences.
Not feeling the chill? There's still plenty of urban exploration to be had, from ice carving festivals to a warm soak in the hot springs. And when you're done, there's still a ton of unique experiences to round out your trip.

It doesn’t get more Alberta than this
There are some experiences that are so Albertan that we just had to call them out. These are some of the best ways to truly connect with that wild feeling people get in this place. A connection with the people and the land that is hard to replicate anywhere else.
