There may be no better major city in Canada for access to adrenaline pumping sports and activities.

Swifter, Higher, Stronger

Canada Olympic Park is a sport junkie’s dream (that sits within Calgary city limits) and all of the following activities are available:

• Downhill skiing and snowboarding on hills and half-pipes
• Bobsleigh and luge (training is offered)
• Awesome downhill mountain-biking in the summer
• North America’s fastest zip-line, which takes off from COP’s ski-jump tower

Climb the Mountain

The Calgary area is perfect for rock and mountain climbing. For beginners, there are a number of venues in Calgary that provide training like the Calgary Outdoor Centre at the University of Calgary. 

Outside of Calgary, countless climbing spots beckon from Canmore, Kananaskis, Banff and beyond.
