Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Nature and landscape
Abraham Lake
Abraham Lake Stretch turquoise water at the foot of the Rockies, in a rougher setting than the famous Banff lakes. In winter, its methane bubbles caught in the ice attract photographers; the rest of the year, the exposed shores give vast views of the mountains.
Nature and panorama
Crescent Falls
Crescent Falls Brings down the Bighorn River in two steps in a clear rock canyon. The views are close to the parking lot, but the site maintains a feeling of wild power, with sprays, twisted pines and walls that tighten the noise of the water.
Nature and panorama
Siffleur Falls
Siffleur Falls It is won by a trail that crosses suspended footbridge, forest and rocky plateau before reaching the gorge. The waterfall is not only the goal: the route exposes all the harshness of David Thompson's country, between wind, milky river and mountains in the background.
Place indismissible
Brazeau Collieries
Brazeau Collieries guard the industrial buildings of Nordegg, ancient mining town laid at the foot of the mountains. Sorting structures, rails and concrete volumes give a very physical presence to the history of coal, far from the too smooth museums.
