The main attraction in mostly flat Alberta is without a doubt Banff National Park. Canada’s oldest park is full of gorgeous scenery, offers plenty of wide open spaces – which are perfect for avoiding the crowds – and promises excellent snow conditions for splitboarding ascents and awesome snowboarding descents afterwards.

What’s the weather like?
During the winter, average daily temperatures range from -5 ºC to -15 ºC in Alberta. Snow also falls quite frequently, with between 30 and 40 centimeters falling each month
How to get there?
Any splitboarding trip to Alberta, begins with a flight into the international airport in Calgary (YCC). From here it is easiest to rent a car and drive to your final destination. Although buses are also available
The Canadian Rocky Mountains cover a small but significant portion of southwestern Alberta, which is where all splitboarding trips in the province take place. Away from Banff National Park and the Wapta Traverse, which are two of the most popular splitboarding destinations, there are plenty of other incredible spots to explore as well. Chief among them is Jasper National Park, which sits just to the north of Banff. Heading up to the summit of Mount Brazeau or Pyramid Mountain are two of the most popular options in the park. However, there are plenty of other parts to explore as the park is massive and full of a diverse array of mountains and valleys
