DRUMHELLER

DRUMHELLER IS KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD FOR THE ICONIC ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM, FEATURING WORLD-FAMOUS FOSSIL COLLECTIONS.

DINOSAURS. When we think of Drumheller, this is the one word that comes to mind, with "hoodoos" being a very close second.

Yep, it's true, the world's most epic dinosaur museum is a short 1.5 hour drive away from Calgary. Whether you want to go down for a quick day-trip or plan a more involved educational excursion, Drumheller is guaranteed to ignite your athletes' imaginations.

At the museum, you can take part in digs, guided hikes, fossil casting, and even camp-ins where you stay at the museum OVERNIGHT. Yep, like we said, this is EPIC and not an experience to be missed.

Canmore is recognized as Alberta's epicenter for cross-country skiing, climbing, and mountain biking. Situated right at the start of Alberta's Bow Valley, Canmore boasts a striking array of craggy summits, picturesque valleys, and gurgling glacier-fed creeks.

The town of Canmore is home to wonderful boutique shops and restaurants, tons of hotels, walking trails, and photo-worthy bridges. We recommend planning a hike nearby then exploring the town's many amenities.

Just a few kilometers away, Moraine Lake is surrounded by Mount Temple and the Valley of the Ten Peaks. These sub-alpine glacier-fed lakes are wonders of the world.

Accessing these iconic landmarks requires intense planning and all the right bookings. While we can't make any guarantees, we can certainly help you navigate the new systems to get your team the best chance of seeing Lake Louise and the surrounding area.

If you'd like to see Lake Louise while you're in Alberta for the Grizzly Classic, please reach out to our mountain hospitality expert, Lauren, and we'll do our best to help you.
