Alberta & The Rockies holidays

Famous for the Canadian Rocky Mountains that border the province to the west, Alberta's landscapes stretch far beyond the mountains, with the rugged, dinosaur fossil strewn badlands to the east, vibrant cities and more than 300 provincial parks.

Highlights of the province include wildlife spotting in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, including Banff National Park and Jasper National Park; the world's largest dark sky preserve, joining a glacier tour on Athabasca Glacier, discovering North-America's oldest and best preserved First Nation's buffalo jump at Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump, learning about Alberta's Jurassic past at the Royal Tyrrell Museum and donning a Stetson and boots for Canada's biggest rodeo; Calgary Stampede.
