Alberta

... is for travellers. Immerse yourself in a place that will remind you what it feels like to be truly alive. If fresh air and adrenaline are what you are looking for, you've come to the right place.

Bragging Rights

The Canadian Rocky Mountains, five national parks, the largest accessible glacier in North America, and the Canadian Badlands... and that's just for openers.

Special Celebrations

Parks Canada is celebrating its centennial and it all started with Banff National Park 125 years ago. Trip Advisor just named Banff Number One on its annual Top 25 Traveller's Choice Best Destinations list. And Jasper National Park is now an official Dark Sky Preserve - the largest in the world.

Authentic Experiences

Try a heli-adventure where you can experience the pristine beauty of our mountain parks from the air, then set down in a remote valley for an unforgettable hike or gourmet picnic lunch on the shores of an emerald lake. Take an afternoon trail ride or sign on to a multi-day horse-packing trip into the backcountry. Looking for wildlife? Watch for moose, elk, deer, bear, mountain goats, bighorn sheep... the list goes on.

Hot Ticket Events

The Calgary Stampede, July 8-17 Put on your favourite jeans and head to Calgary to experience the thrill of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. One of the world's richest rodeos, ground thundering chuckwagon races, top-name bands and nightly grandstand show with fireworks should be expected.

The Edmonton Indy, July 22-24

Set to run on a brand new course, the Edmonton Indy is a pure adrenaline rush. Grandstand seats are great but for the ultimate experience, you can book a trackside suite where you are just meters from the action. Split second maneuvers at near-impossible speeds guarantee to get your heart racing.

Breathtaking Drives

Icefields Parkway and Columbia Icefield Set aside a day to travel the Icefields Parkway and you'll understand quickly why this drive rewards travellers. Towering mountain peaks, cascading waterfalls and glacier-fed lakes in varying shades of green and blue create a postcard view at every turn. Experience the Columbia Icefield in an Ice Explorer and walk on ice that's 300 meters thick.

Canadian Badlands and all things Dinosaur

Gaze in awe at the deep canyons and coulees of a lunar-like landscape filled with twisted, wind-eroded sandstone shapes known as Hoodoos. This special area, known today as the Canadian Badlands, was once a tropical paradise home to the dinosaurs some 70 million years ago. Spend a morning at the Royal Tyrrell Museum and then take a guided expedition to uncover dinosaur bones. Truly remarkable.

These are just a few of the adventures waiting for you in Alberta. With direct, non-stop flights across Canada into Calgary and Edmonton International Airports, Alberta is practically in your own backyard.
