One of the greatest perks of living in Calgary is the proximity to the Rocky Mountains! When searching for SW Calgary houses for sale, you will be exposed to the many benefits of this quadrant of the city…one of the biggest being the amazing views and accessibility of the mountains. Whether you are a hiker, camper or skier, looking at SW Calgary houses for sale is a great option! For the outdoorsy type, there is so much to do in the Rockies and when you live in the SW! Getting away for the weekend to enjoy the view, smells and adventures of the Rocky Mountains is like none other. Here are our top five things to do in the mountains…but the list is endless! Snowboarding/skiing – Ski season runs usually from November to April. The majority of people head to Banff, Kananaskis, or Jasper, however; don’t dismiss the “no-name” mountains. Some of the smaller lesser known mountains can be your own personal playground, ripe for the taking! Kayak/Canoe - The Rockies are home to hundreds of different lakes and rivers, each with its own unique landscape. What better way to enjoy it than by grabbing a kayak or canoe and taking it all in from the middle of a pristine lake? Renting a kayak or canoe is an easy process, and relatively cheap. Pack some food, a couple drinks, and head to your nearest rental shop to get your equipment. If you’re looking for some great photos of a beautiful lake, Lake Louise is where you want to be! Hiking - Every mountain has plenty of hiking trails to explore, with stunning scenic views – maybe even a little wildlife viewing too… If sticking to the trail isn’t your thing, maybe you should consider “Heli-hiking”. A Helicopter picks you up, drops you off on, or near the mountain of your choice, and leaves you for a few days. This isn’t for everybody, but if camping in the most remote Canadian wilderness and roughing it is what you are into then this is definitely worth a try. River Rafting - The Canadian Rockies are laced with some of the most beautiful rivers found in the world. The beauty of these rivers truly reveals themselves once you start hitting the river rapids. Class 3 and Class 4 rapids can be found in several different rivers Relax in the hot springs – After a long day of adventure, there is nothing more we love to do than relaxing our aching bones and muscles in a steaming hot natural hot spring! Not the outdoorsy type? There are tons of other wonderful things to see and do in the Rockies, and living in the SW part of Calgary will give you the opportunity to explore them regularly.
