A majestic land of unquestionable beauty, the Alberta Rockies region, which stretches along the province’s western border, offers an abundance of exceptional activities and tours. Boasting the largest mountain range in Canada, the diverse geographical area lends itself to unparalleled recreational opportunities in the midst of awe-inspiring scenery. All-season, winter and summer activities abound; rafting down a glacier-fed river, dog sledding across mountain foothills, hitting the links on a world-class golf course, carving down an alpine slope and exploring heritage mountain trails via horseback are a few samples of the adventures that await.
DOWNHILL SKIING
Renowned for its world-class ski hills and resorts, the Alberta Rockies provide impressive verticals and top-notch facilities at major ski hills in Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Kananaskis Country. Snowboarders and skiers alike will appreciate an impressive abundance of fresh snow, a November-to-May season (weather permitting) and a diversity of runs. Average snowfalls at hills across the area range from 300 cm (10 ft) to 10 m (33 ft) and some hills, such as Lake Louise Mountain Resort, boast over 135 runs. Novices can tackle the slopes with professional ski and snowboard lessons or through an array of organized ski tours and packages.
DOG SLEDDING
A popular winter activity for tourists to the region, dog sledding is a unique and exhilarating way to explore the spectacular backcountry trails of the Rockies. No experience is necessary when embarking on a dog-sled adventure; tours are conducted by professional guides who offer participants the choice to try their hand at mushing or just sit back and take in the views from the comfort of a blanket-lined sled. Kingmik Dog Sled Tours in Lake Louise offers an array of guided, family-friendly excursions on scenic trails that follow the Continental Divide.
