Alberta Holidays
With the mighty snow-capped peaks of the Canadian Rocky Mountains on their western border and the vast prairies of Saskatchewan to the east, Alberta is located right in the very heart of western Canada. Vast tracts of this land-locked province are unpopulated with the region 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 mammals and endangered birds as well as playing an important role in preserving the region’s considerable First Nation heritage. Much like neighbouring British Columbia, Alberta is best explored by car on a self-drive holiday. 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 following 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, travel on the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train or, if visiting Alberta during July, attend the world-famous Calgary Stampede.
