5 Day Calgary Fall Getaway

Start your day with a Food Tour as Calgary is filled with maverick chefs and food artisans keen to showcase the taste of Alberta's bountiful produce. Guests enjoy tastings at six to ten spots per tour while also discovering each neighbourhood's history, art and architecture. Tours are two to four hours long and group size is limited to 14 guests.

Pick up your car rental which includes unlimited km, LDW insurance and third party liability, and make your way to Winsport Canada Olympic Park. WinSport is best known as the host facility for the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and remains open today as a year-round recreational playground. Take in a scenic round of mini golf or bike down Southern Alberta's only lift accessible mountain bike trails. Visit and be inspired! Conveniently located 15 minutes from downtown, WinSport has dining options, retail store and a fully equipped rental shop so you have everything you need. Later head to CrossIron Mills for some retail therapy - a 1.4 million-square-foot shopping centre is the largest single-level shopping centre in Alberta, with 17 large-format anchors and more than 200 specialty stores and premium brand outlets.

Today head west towards the beautiful town of Canmore. Stroll down the picturesque main street exploring the boutique shopping and local art galleries. Enjoy a beer at the Grizzly Paw Brewery, a bagel from Rocky Mountain Bagel Company or a drink at one of the many locally run coffee shops. A great not-to-be-missed beginner hike will get you some great views with moderate effort, a short inclined walk past a waterfall to two majestic turquoise lakes.

Today enjoy a leisurely morning before checking out of your hotel and returning your rental car to Calgary.
