An Afternoon at North Glenmore Park
Daytrip to Kananaskis
You only need to drive a short 40-60 minutes to cross over the foothills and into the mountains, specifically Kananaskis. Within the park, there are trails to explore -whether by foot, snowshoe, or cross-country skis-, lakes on which to skate, and frozen waterfalls to simply embrace or photograph.
Downhill Skiing and Snowboarding
For an afternoon of skiing or snowboarding right in the city, you and your family can head to Winsport Park at the site of COP on the city’s west end. Or, you can continue west on Highway 1 to take on the larger hills in Nakiska Village, Fortress Ski Area, or Sunshine Village. Whether you are new to the sport, or a seasoned pro, the ski resorts near Calgary offer a wide range of difficulty in terms of runs and terrain parks.
Rent Fat Tire Bikes and Hit the Trails
Many parks and trails in Calgary’s city limits suit winter cyclists and provide excellent views. In the city’s south is Fish Creek Park, a huge expanse of trails, and in the west is Glenmore Park, an area with a lot more to do than just bike the trails. If you’re further north, you can take your fat bike to Nose Hill Park, and if you’re in the centre of town, the Bow River Valley is surrounded by many trails leading into downtown or Calgary’s older neighbourhoods. View Calgary’s full trail map. No fat bike? No problem! Head to Bow Cycle (6501 Bowness Road NW) for fat bike rentals.
Book a Hike at the Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area
Get out into nature with your loved ones, children, parents, and cohorts this family day weekend. The Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation Area (SW of Calgary on Highway 22x) offers over 20 km of hiking trails through aspen forests, pastures, and prairie. The Conservation Area is home to 100s of species of birds, so pack a pair of birding binoculars if you can. Book your hike here. These are not guided hikes; booking is in place to ensure adequate space for social distancing on the trails.
Outdoor Skating or Check out the Ice Bikes
Calgary’s abundance of natural areas provides perfect winter scenes for a leisurely outdoor skate. Whether you are in search of a date idea for Valentine’s Day, or an activity to get the kids out of the house, Calgary’s numerous rinks can provide a perfect afternoon. But it is the long weekend, and you may have more time to explore further; if this is the case, you can also take your skates West to some nearby mountain lakes.
Calgary has become the first city in Canada to offer ice bikes. These bikes at Bowness Park offer an alternative to skating and are essentially traditional bicycles mounted on a sled-like platform.
Outdoor Winter Activities
There’s so much to do in and around Calgary during winter. From finding the best viewpoints of the city to winter walks and birding, you’re sure to find something to do this family day weekend in Calgary. Make the most of it with these outdoor activities during these short sunny days of winter.
