The Canadian Rockies are on everyone's Bucket List. The magnificent mountains, crystal-clear lakes, unspoilt national parks, cowboy countryside, vast blue skies and wonderful wildlife make a visit to Alberta the adventure of a lifetime. Try amazing experiences that you'll remember forever, like canyon walking horseback riding in the truly 'great' outdoors.
The adventure doesn't stop there, there is white-water rafting, rock climbling, fishing in the streams and rivers, kayaking across Lake Louise or mountain biking and hiking in the spectacular Banff National Park.
Your might prefer a gentler pace, relax in a hot spring, enjoy the genuine hospitality in the resort towns, admire the prehistoric palaeontology at the Royal Tyrrell Museum, take time to shop in North America's largest shopping and entertainment complex, the West Edmonton Mall, and do not miss the Calgary Stampede. It's a chance to unleash your inner cowboy at the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth", with rodeo, derby, parades, bucking bronco and live music.
Alberta's attractions do not end here. You can also travel north to the Arctic Circle to see the Northern Lights, explore Native Indian heritage, take a memorable train ride through the breathtaking Canadian Rockies while you dine on world-class cuisine.
So if you have the time for a short break and a spirit for adventure, then visit Alberta.
