Alberta Holidays

With the mighty Canadian Rocky Mountains bordering to the west and the vast prairies of Saskatchewan to the east, Alberta is located in the heart of western Canada. Largely unpopulated, this land-locked province is home to over five-hundred recognised sites including a number of important UNESCO protected reserves, parks and landscapes that provide critical habitats for many rare and endangered mammals and birds and preserve the region’s First Nation heritage. Much like neighbouring British Columbia, Alberta is best explored by car.  Enjoy the natural hot springs and epic scenery of Banff National Park, soak up the astonishing beauty of Lake Louise and take the drive of a lifetime along the breathtaking Icefields Parkway which traverses the mighty Canadian Rockies. Explore the glaciers, waterfalls and lakes of Jasper National Park, experience 6,000 years of indigenous history at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump and, if visiting Alberta during July, attend the world-famous Calgary Stampede.
