Easter in Kananaskis

A Different Kind of Easter Weekend

Just over an hour from Calgary, Kananaskis Country offers a refreshing mix of outdoor adventure, scenic beauty, and relaxed mountain experiences.

Spring here is unpredictable—in the best way. Snow still lingers on alpine peaks, wildlife begins to reappear, and longer days invite you to explore a little more.

Whether you’re travelling with young kids, teens, or just looking for a slower long weekend, Easter in Kananaskis is about reconnecting—with nature and each other.

Easter at the Lodge

Easter Egg Hunt

Explore the lodge grounds and gardens in search of hidden eggs—designed for all ages, with a few playful twists along the way.

Easter Brunch

A seasonal spread celebrating the best of spring—thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and worth lingering over.

Special Sips
