More about Alberta

It's Closer Than You Think

Alberta is in Western Canada, framed by the Rocky Mountains on its western border, and vast prairies to the east. Geographically, it rests just to the north of Montana, and is a short direct flight from most major U.S. centers. Summers in Alberta are refreshingly warm, with an average daytime high of 70° degrees Fahrenheit (21° degrees Celsius). It also contains two of Canada’s largest and most vibrant cities, Edmonton and Calgary, and its total population is closing in on 4 million people.

Edmonton and Calgary

Alberta's urban centres with international airline access are Calgary and Edmonton. Easy access with most major airlines and charter companies means you can fly to either, so the choice is yours. Both of Alberta's major urban centers are home to icon attractions, vibrant events and superb accommodations - and are remarkably close to the Rockies and other major Alberta attractions. Let Alberta touch you this summer, at one of its many world-class travel destinations.
