ALBERTA WINTER TOURS
ABOUT Alberta Winter Tours
Although skiing and snowboarding are always top winter attractions in Alberta, there has also been a wide expansion of winter activities that has stemmed from proud locals making the most out of their environment. And not only in the Rockies - there are plenty of magical winter festivals and activities offered throughout the province. See the breathtaking Northern Lights in one of the provinces many Dark Sky Preserves - including Elk Island National Park near Edmonton. Many locations host ice skaters perfecting their twirls or living the Canadian dream and joining a game of hockey. Sled dogs also partake in the excitement of winter as they pull at their harnesses and guide sled runners through entwined forests of towering black spruce, or wide open prairie blanketed with snow. The winter activity list continues as canyon ice walks, snowshoeing, heli-tours, ice fishing or visiting hot springs fill travellers' itineraries. And one can't forget the chance of wildlife as seeing elk, moose, bighorn sheep or wolves traipsing across the snow can send cameras into overdrive.
