Within the city limits, you can fly down 1800 metres of downhill track in a gravity powered luge cart at WinSport, Canada’s Olympic Park, catch a wave while river surfing on the Bow River, and experience indoor skydiving at iFLY – and much more! Plus the province of Alberta is home to six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, four of them within easy driving distance of Calgary.

Less than one hour west of Calgary is the stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains. To the east is Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Canadian Badlands.
