Luxury Holidays in Alberta

If you’re looking for dramatic landscapes with beautiful lakes and mountains, few destinations can equal Alberta. From skiing and hiking in Lake Louise to travelling on the streetcar in the capital city of Edmonton, there’s something for everyone. The Canadian Rockies is a huge area with fabulous scenery and good snow making it wonderful place for outdoor adventures.  The two main resorts in Alberta - Lake Louise and Banff, are very popular with British holidaymakers. It's easy to travel between the two as they are just 45 minutes apart and they're a great base for taking day trips to other resorts such as Kicking Horse and Panorama.  There are regular ski buses between Banff and Lake Louise which also stop at the other skiing areas of Sunshine Village,  Mount Norquay and Nakiska which was purpose built for the Winter Olympics in 1988. Banff has hot springs, amazing restaurants, good accommodation choices and plenty of shopping opportunities along Banff Avenue.  For a view with a difference, taking the Banff Gondola to the "top of the world" - it only takes 8 minutes and you will experience 360 degree panoramic views of Banff and the Bow Valley. Other activities in this area include snowmobiling, dog sledding, ice skating and fun and memorable ice canyon walks. If you're not a fan of skiing (or cold weather!), you'll find this area still has plenty to offer during the summer months. Perhaps visit as part of a tour and book a trip on board the Rocky Mountaineer train travelling across North America visiting Vancouver, Whistler and many more areas. We would also recommend taking a trip into Calgary where there is plenty to keep you occupied including museums, Olympic park tours, the zoo, SpacePort, the Calgary Tower and Stampede Park.
