Hotels in Nakiska, Canada
Nestled in the Canadian Rockies just 45 minutes west of Calgary, Nakiska is famous for hosting the alpine skiing events of the 1988 Winter Olympics, with its slopes still groomed to Olympic standards. Winters bring deep powder and temperatures averaging 14°F (-10°C), perfect for carving down runs like the Olympic Men's Downhill, while summers open up hiking trails like the Mount Allan Centennial Ridge with views of the Kananaskis Valley. The climate shifts dramatically between seasons-come winter for world-class skiing, or summer for mountain biking and wildlife spotting in the nearby Bow Valley, where you might see elk and bears.
