Introduction

Canada Olympic Park, on Calgary's west edge, was a venue for the 1988 Winter Olympics and is now a year-round sport and adventure centre. The iconic ski-jump tower (WinSport) still stands—ride the elevator to the top for city and foothills views. Winter brings skiing; late spring through autumn offer chairlift sightseeing, mountain biking and a zip line. For Olympic atmosphere without the big mountains, it is Calgary's easiest adrenaline fix.
