Calgary, the oil capital of Canada, standing at the foot of the Rocky Mountains is a lively, high tech, modern, city with its high-rise skyline spiced with Old West lore wonderfully demonstrated during the 10-day Calgary Stampede held every July, where cowboys from all over the world congregate for a festival of showmanship and daring that is quite unique, and renowned as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”.

The party atmosphere is infectious. Other city attractions include the Olympic Ski Jump and the Saddledome. With a vast range of activities for visitors right through the year Calgary offers a great time with Country and Western saloons and bars at the fore offering foot stompin’ live music. Hiking the official Gateway to The Cowboy Trail is full of geographic and historic gems, like Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump now a world heritage site on the fringes of Fort Macleod. Experience cowboys ropin’ cattle, small town rodeos, country fairs and rich ranchland. Witness a great diversity in wildlife and scenery, from deer and elk, these are the wild Rockies where the great bear, the grizzly still roams free. Perhaps you’ll prefer to wander through the Olympic Hall of Fame where you can watch an exciting Olympic film, experience hands-on fun in the discovery room and soak up the new exhibits on display. See up close the twists and turns of the Olympic Track where the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team made their Olympic debut. In the summer months you can enjoy the view of Calgary and the Canadian Rockies on a scenic ride to the base of the 90-metre ski jump tower. Visit the state-of-the-art training facility designed for bobsleigh, skeleton and luge athletes to practice their critical push start. You can take part as you slide feet first on the luge or head first on the skeleton at speeds up to 60 kilometeres, every hour down the Olympic Track where you can experience for yourself the high-speed thrills and spills.
