KANANASKIS COUNTRY


 






Kananaskis Country is 4,000 sq km / 1545 sq mi of spectacular terrain located in the foothills and mountains of the Canadian Rockies west of Calgary and east of Banff. It is a diverse landscape with outstanding parks and a wide range of outdoor experiences for people of all ages and walks of life.

The unparalleled beauty of Kananaskis Country (K-Country) captures the hearts of all who visit. Spectacular mountain views, fresh air and the quiet found only in the wilderness can be enjoyed from a base of comfortable hotels and amenities in Kananaskis Village.

A vacation in Kananaskis Country means unlimited recreation opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. There are more than 1,500 km / 915 mi of trails for walking, biking, horseback riding, cross country skiing and hiking. On top of that you can take in white water rafting, kayaking, fishing, golfing, downhill skiing and snowshoeing. It’s a superb four-season sightseeing and recreation destination that has been largely undiscovered by mainstream tourism.

Photographers will appreciate the unparalleled views and fantastic opportunities to see wildlife. Among the species you might spot are moose, elk, deer, bear and bighorn sheep not to mention dozens of smaller animals and bird species. Bald and Golden eagles are frequently seen throughout Kananaskis Country.

The Kananaskis Valley is so close to Canmore (25 minutes) and Banff (40 minutes) that it makes a fantastic day trip destination if not staying right in Kananaskis Village. The recreation, views and scenic driving opportunities will all contribute to an unforgettable mountain experience.
