Alberta

Alberta is a province of extraordinary beauty, famous for majestic Rocky Mountain peaks, emerald lakes and sweeping wilderness filled with elk, bears and big-horned sheep. While its resorts swell in winter for skiing, the warmer months are the best time to explore incredible landscapes on holidays to Alberta with tailormade specialists Journeyscape.

View Holidays

Alberta is one of Canada’s most stunning provinces, offering a wide range of tour options, from driving through glacial landscapes to boarding the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train, exploring Cowboy Country and hiking through national parks on wildlife holidays.

We have holidays to Alberta available to fit any type of traveller. To see the highlights of the province, have a look at our Gems of Alberta fly-drive, or explore at your own pace in a luxury motorhome on our Rockies and Rodeo Adventure. If you prefer to travel in style away from the open road, check out our Rocky Mountaineer rail journey from Vancouver to Jasper. Contact our Canada Travel Experts and start planning your perfect holiday to Alberta today.

Banff and the shining turquoise waters of Lake Louise are the province’s biggest draws – the highest town in Canada and its most visited sight respectively, surrounded by the stunning Banff National Park, Canada’s oldest protected area.

Driving north along the Icefields Parkway is an incredible way to take in canyons, snowy peaks, glaciers and waterfalls in one of the best drives in the world. Jasper vies with Banff as the country’s most beautiful national park – the biggest in the Canadian Rockies and one of the largest accessible Dark Sky Preserves in the world.

Canmore is a quieter alternative to Banff with a spectacular setting beneath the Three Sisters peaks and the gateway to Kananaskis Country. In the far south of Alberta, Waterton National Park has wonderful scenery of lakes, forests and waterfalls, quieter than the northern parks.

In the south-east stretching towards the US border, the Canadian Badlands and Dinosaur Provincial Park have the largest deposits of dinosaur bones in the world amid a lunar landscape starkly different to the rest of the province.

Alberta’s largest gateway city Calgary has plenty to offer – the 190-metre Calgary Tower, outdoor museum Heritage Park and National Music Centre Studio Bell, while the Calgary Stampede is one of Canada’s biggest events.

The capital Edmonton is the most northerly large city in North America, bursting to life in summer with festivals and up to 17 hours of sunshine, while in winter it’s a great base to see the amazing Northern Lights.
