Alberta

Is it possible for a destination to boast both world-renowned ski resorts and serene, lesser-known slopes? The answer is yes: cue Alberta. 

From iconic ski spots like Lake Louise, Marmot Basin, and Banff Sunshine Village to hidden gems at Castle Mountain and Nakiska, skiing in Alberta promises epic pow, stunning landscapes and adventure like you’ve never experienced before. 

The fun doesn’t stop at skiing and snowboarding. You name it, Alberta's got it: snowmobiling through forest trails, ice skating on frozen lakes, cozy après ski retreats and vibrant mountain festivals.
