Calgary attractions

Banff Gondola is a cable car experience in Banff National Park, Canada. The gondola transports visitors high up, towards the summit of Sulphur Mountain. At the top of the gondola ride, visitors can enjoy interactive experiences at the Above Banff Interpretive Centre and Theatre, as well as restaurants and various hiking trails.

Initially built in 1964, Jasper SkyTram remains Canada’s longest and highest, guided aerial tramway. Visitors gain 1,005 meters in elevation as they soar through the Canadian Rockies to disembark at the upper station (2,263 meters above sea level) where the alpine environment awaits them.

Visitors from all corners of the world flock to the Icefields Parkway, and ever since it opened in 1940, it's been the best place to witness nature's majesty in Canada. Witness mountains, glaciers, turquoise lakes, rivers and wildlife in a picture-book setting you have to see to believe along a winding stretch of road from Jasper to Lake Louise. At the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre, located on the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 N) – 1 hour south of Jasper and 2.5 hours north of Banff, visitors can learn about early travel through the Canadian Rockies.

Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary is located in Alberta, Canada. The sanctuary provides a safe haven for the beautiful and often misunderstood wolfdogs, and educates visitors on wolf conservation. Learn about (and maybe even hear!) pack howls, find out what scent rolling is, and much more, through self-guided tours, introductory sessions with experts, and other activities.

Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, is home to a number of exciting exhibits on Canadian music history. There are sound stages, hands-on instrument areas and various concerts are held regularly. The changing exhibitions are also well worth a trip. It is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
