Introduction

Alberta is Canada''s second westernmost province, bordered on the west by British Columbia and on the east by Saskatchewan. It is a region of contrasts, with the snowy peaks of the Rockies in the west giving way to the broad and fertile prairies. The population is concentrated in the lower half of the province, where the major cities of Calgary and the provincial capital Edmonton are located.

Find nature at its best... Find yourself on pristine lakes, and in lush forests. Break new trails through the back country, and discover a night time blanket of stars !!

Alberta''s North may be an unspoiled wilderness, but there are all the modern amenities. There are also good hotels, restaurants and full-service campgrounds with friendly competent staff. Winding through the acres of wilderness are some of the best and safest highways in the world, connecting communities where the spirit of explorers, pioneers, trappers and hunters still lives on.

Throughout the North, nature puts on a magnificent show. And when the midnight sun sets, another show begins - the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) try to outshine nature''s daily glory.

The Canadian Rockies. Imagine millions of evergreens adorning majestic peaks. Then add sapphire lakes, natural hot springs, and soaring mountains climbing to endless blue skies. That is the Rockies... Plus so much more! National parks and several protected areas make the Rocky Mountains the perfect place to see nature at its most natural. Some of the most stunningly beautiful scenery in the world are right here, along with world-class spas and hotels. So pamper your spirit as well as your body in the Rockies.

West Alberta...This is where wide-open prairie and gentle, rolling foothills rise up into the majestic Rocky Mountains.

South Alberta welcomes you with western hospitality. In this modern, cosmopolitan city beats the heart of a cowboy and mountain adventurer. Every year the locals trade their business suits for blue jeans and cowboy boots to kick up some fun at the Calgary Stampede. Whether you like sports or the arts, Calgary has something for you. World-class athletic facilities (our legacy from the 1988 Winter Olympics) and first-class theatrical treats, dining, hotels and shopping malls make Calgary a city worth visiting!
