Crowsnest Pass

Crowsnest Pass is a mountain pass that spans the Continental Divide and resembles a large crow’s nest. It is located towards the southern end of the Rocky Mountains.

The Heritage Pathways system combines the Crowsnest’s fascinating history with non-urban, outdoor hiking trails. Hike the 12-kilometre North York Creek Plane Crash Trail to a real plane crash site, or the 1.5-kilometre Frank Slide Trail, which starts and finishes at the Frank Slide Interpretive Centre.

Crowsnest Pass is also ideal for those who enjoy the rush of excitement that rock climbing and caving can provide.

Pass Powderkeg Ski Area

Powderkeg Pass is a terrific area for the whole family to enjoy the winter. The mountain is large enough to provide routes for all skill levels but small enough for youngsters to roam free and explore the mountain while returning to a single, convenient lift system and lodge.

Pass Powderkeg is a not-for-profit ski slope focused on pricing and devoted to providing customers with unrivalled value. The entire experience transforms when the sun sets over Crowsnest Mountain, and the lights turn on for night skiing.

Bellevue Underground Mine

The Bellevue Underground Mine is one-of-a-kind and historically significant underground coal mine. They give guests a true sense of what it was like to work as a coal miner during an exhilarating hour-long underground tour led by Heritage Interpreters.

The underground tour will take you 1,000 feet down into the mine, 150 feet below ground level. Explore the mine’s inner workings while learning about one of Canada’s underground coal mines’ long histories. The tour will be led by a Heritage Interpreter and will include a miner’s helmet and lantern for each participant.

The tour should last around an hour.

Turtle Mountain Hike

Hike to Turtle Mountain’s north top, 2100 metres above sea level, for a view of the Frank Slide and the Crowsnest valley. Turtle Mountain Path is a 7.4-kilometre moderately frequented out-and-back trail with magnificent wildflowers in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, Canada. It is classed as tough. The route is best utilized from June to October and provides a variety of activities. This route is also open to dogs, although they must be kept on a leash. The views from the summit of the north peak are spectacular in every direction, but notably down on the Frank Slide rocks in the valley below.

Castle Mountain Resort

Castle Mountain is a ski resort in the Rocky Mountains of southwest Alberta, in the Westcastle Valley. Around a 40-minute drive from Blairmore, it has been owned and run by skiers who are motivated by adrenaline rather than profit since its resurrection in 1996. They value high-quality dry powder snow and difficult terrain. And they believe that combining these aspects in the correct way will give once-in-a-lifetime experiences for individuals who live to ski.
