Explore Beyond Sundre. See What's Out West.

There are a myriad of things to do if you decide to Explore beyond Sundre. Did you know that Sundre's tourism trade area extends into the south of David Thompson Country?  Here are a few suggestions for you to extend your time in the Sundre and West Country area.

Explore the Wilderness

With so much at Sundre's doorstep, how could you not want to spend time here?


Sundre is the last town before heading into the wilds of the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.  Heading due west would take you directly into Banff National Park, but you'll only really be able to get as far as Ya-Ha Tinda.  From the ranches out in that area, you can go horseback riding further into the mountains, into Banff, or simply explore the beautiful nearby area that you'll find yourself in.

 

Hiking around the West Country is a great way to explore, and there are other rafting companies further west as well.

 

There's lots on offer in the adjacent areas of Mountain View County and Clearwater County.

 

Fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, trail riding, rafting - it's all at your doorstep when you make Sundre your home base.
