Don’t let the dreary days of winter keep you cooped up inside! Pedal the trails from the seat of a fat bike at @glenbowranch Provincial Park. With plenty of paths to choose from, you can spend all day rolling along next to the Bow River.

While heading out into the cold might not sound like fun, the sturdy mount allows you to bike on terrain you might not ride otherwise. Keep your head, hands, and feet warm for optimal comfort, and you’ll be ready to ride for hours!

Watch the stunning scenery of the Kananaskis Valle

Watch the stunning scenery of the Kananaskis Valley fly by as you’re carried along by your own pack of huskies!

Dog Sledding Tours at @boundaryranch are a key winter bucket list item to experience Alberta's history and heritage, while getting outside and connecting with beautiful working dogs. Ride with a musher or go solo! Then, head out on the snow-covered trails to explore the valley, learn about the importance of dog sledding to the Indigenous, and see the incredible bison herd.

There’s snowplace like Cochrane! Chase the winter blues away as you tick off your exciting winter bucket list items.

Snowshoe your way through the pristine drifts at Cochrane Ranche for an afternoon of rolling meadows, frozen creeks, and quintessentially wonderful winter views. Just 30 minutes south of Cochrane, West @braggcreektrails features trails through the forests, wetlands, and vistas of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Or, make a day of snowshoeing in beautiful Kananaskis Country. The wild backcountry provides nothing short of stunning scenery for your winter fun — the towering peaks will distract you from the physical work you’re putting in.

Winter weather isn’t always frightful—get outs

Winter weather isn’t always frightful—get outside on a bluebird day for activities the whole family can delight in. Take a casual stroll or hike in a dazzling winter wonderland, and become an expert on our area’s birds. Or, try out a new ice skating rink with your nearest and dearest, followed by an exhilarating afternoon of off-road trails in your 4×4 vehicle. Whatever you choose, you’ll love winter just a little more.
