Snowshoeing

Strap on those snowshoes and let’s make some tracks! Snowshoeing in Western Canada is one of the best ways to get the Canadian winter experience, one step at a time. Whether it’s trekking through the snowy forests of Kananaskis or stomping up the stunning viewpoints at Murrary Ridge in Fort St. James, BC, there is a trail out there for every snowshoer to enjoy a quiet winter escape in Western Canada.

The fun doesn’t stop there. Snowshoeing in British Columbia and Alberta is a chance to connect with nature in a magical way. Spot wildlife like deer or elk by the day, and witness the breathtaking northern lights dancing overhead by night at certain ski areas.

Sounds like fun? Check out stories on various British Columbia and Alberta destinations where you can snowshoe and enjoy the best of a Western Canadian winter.
