Alberta

Alberta hosted the G8 world leader’s summit in 2002, and from there has built a reputation for outstanding convention services boasting scenic retreats, state-of-the-art Olympic sports facilities, and the famous Rocky Mountains.  Alberta is a blend of outdoor adventure and urban sophistication.

Calgary, Alberta's major gateway is a vibrant city and the best point from which to head west into the mountains and is served by direct daily flights from London Heathrow.

Provincial capital Edmonton loves to celebrate and is consequently known as 'Festival City'. It is also the place to shop; the city is famous for its enormous West Edmonton Mall, the world's largest entertainment and shopping centre with over 800 stores and services.

Southern Alberta is cattle ranching country, where groups can experience an authentic working ranch and take part in guided horseback tours, trail rides, cattle drives, and cookouts under the stars. Groups can also explore Alberta's First Nation's heritage at Head-Smashed-in Buffalo Jump. Other native experiences include tepee camps and powwows.

Alberta's Rocky Mountains and its National parks are major year-round attractions, with stunning mountain peaks, glaciers, valleys, lakes and wildlife, and provide endless activities.
