Top Calgary Winter Sports

Looking for something a little more wild, step out of the groomed tracks, and enjoy this cross country ski tour to an alpine tarn in the backcountry.

Travel up 984 feet (300 meters) to a sub-alpine lake during this snowshoe tour in Kananaskis Country. With snowshoe rental included, follow your guide across the snow-covered ground as you catch sight of the Canadian Rockies. Take in other views of the nearby towering cliffs and wintery wilderness as you go.

Embark on a winter snowshoeing journey in Kananaskis from Calgary with the assistance of a guide. Focus on the scenery and the sound of your footsteps crunching the snow instead of puzzling over directions, since your guide leads the way. You'll learn the history of the Kananaskis through guided commentary as, well as facts about the local flora and fauna.

The Banff National Park is famous for its spectacular scenery, but after dark, the landscape takes on a whole new look and feel. On this tour, strap on your snowshoes and stomp into the Kananaskis forest on a guided moonlit hike. Stop in open clearings and peek at the stars through the telescope. With a hot drink and cookie included, marvel at the wonders of nature in the Canadian wilderness.
