Snowshoe in Kananaskis Country

Hike through a winter wonderland in the heart of the Canadian Rockies on snowshoes! Enjoy an exhilarating 5-hour daytrip to an amazing lunch spot surrounded by limestone peaks of the Canadian Rockies, while learning about the flora, fauna, geography and history of the area. Snowshoes are included.

Meet your guide at the Kananaskis Country Visitor Centre at 9am. There you’ll complete an orientation, waivers, and medical forms before convoying approximately one hour to the trailhead. Getting to the trailhead includes driving maintained compact gravel roads covered in snow, and winter tires are required.

This 5-hour moderate and exhilarating tour takes you up 984 feet (300 meters) to a sub-alpine lake surrounded by towering cliffs in the heart of the wilderness in winter.

This tour includes a snack, snowshoes, local guide, and an interpretive component. You are required to come prepared with a camera, lunch, thermos of tea, day pack, warm insulated well-fitting winter boots for hiking in, toque, hat, mittens, scarf, wind jacket and pants, warm jacket, and extra layers.
