Day 1: Bragg Creek

CALGARY / BRAGG CREEK (-/-/D)

Saddle up to explore the Canadian Rocky Mountains! An authentic adventure spent in the beautiful Kananaskis Mountains, nestled next to the stunning Canadian Rockies, combining overnight stays at ranches and tent camps. The Canadian Rockies stretch across the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, characterized by jagged, snow-capped peaks year-round, with Mount Robson standing as the highest point. The region is famous for its alpine lakes and diverse wildlife. We aim to minimize our environmental impact, so this fantastic experience is reserved for small groups of intermediate-level riders, covering approximately 100 km over the course of the week. We do not offer luxury or tourist-style adventures, but instead, we focus on the pristine nature of the mountains, a wonderful group spirit, breathtaking landscapes, good food, and the chance to spend a few days living with our horses, immersed in the Canadian wilderness.
Upon arrival at Calgary Airport (YYC), you will meet our representatives at 4:00 PM (or hotel pick-up near the airport at 5:00 PM), and we will transfer to the ranch, about an hour away. Check-in, welcome dinner where the program will be explained, and overnight stay.


Day 2: Bragg Creek

THREEPOINT (B/L/D)
Breakfast, horse assignments, a brief test ride, and departure for the first day in the saddle, which is typically shorter, about 4 hours. We will cross forests and meadows before reaching the first stop at Threepoint Camp. Time for relaxation, and if you wish, a dip in the nearby river. Dinner under the stars and overnight stay.


Day 3: Bragg Creek

THREEPOINT / ELBOW RIVER (B/L/D)
Today is a long day in the saddle, weather permitting. We will break camp and head towards the next stop near the Elbow River, crossing breathtaking landscapes.


Day 4: Bragg Creek

ELBOW RIVER (B/L/D)
After yesterday’s long ride, today we will ride for only 4 hours, exploring the surrounding valley and discovering waterfalls. Dinner and overnight stay at the same camp.


Day 5: Bragg Creek

ELBOW VALLEY (B/L/D)
We will venture deeper into the pristine nature of the mountains, reaching up to 3000 meters, where the vegetation will become sparse, giving way to rocks.


Day 6: Bragg Creek

ELBOW VALLEY / BRAGG CREEK (B/L/D)
On the last day and highlight of this adventure, we will have several possible routes, riding between 4 and 5 hours. In the afternoon, we will reach the road, and both horses and riders will be transferred back to the ranch for the final dinner.
