Set dramatically between prairies and peaks, Calgary is a chic metropolis in Southern Alberta, buzzing with innovative energy while embracing its rich western heritage. The city is nicknamed ‘Cowtown’, which is evident in the Calgary Stampede, a massive rodeo and festival held in July. With its numerous skyscrapers, Calgary owes its massive growth to its status as the centre of the Canadian oil industry.

Days 3 - 4: Kananaskis

Distance: 120km (75miles)

Home to stunning hikes, paved and unpaved mountain bike trails, Kananaskis is the perfect base for outdoor adventures. A quintessential Albertan activity is riding horseback with half-day rides including a BBQ lunch available.
