Destination information
Bordered in the west by British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains and in the south by Montana, Alberta is an alpine wilderness of woodlands, mountains and lakes. World-class ski resorts such as Banff and Jasper tempt holidaymakers back year after year and cities such as Edmonton and Calgary offer every urban delight you can think of. Check out Fort Edmonton Park, glorying in the days of the gold rush and Edmonton’s mall, the largest in the world with theatres, restaurants, nightclubs, aviaries, aquariums and museums as well as shops! Another Alberta highlight is the Icefield Parkway, with a trip on an Ice Explorer to the Athabasca Glacier an absolute must.
