Winter is on the way, and while the cold isn’t always the best, some neighbourhoods in Calgary turn into their own little winter wonderlands.

Kensington

Eau Claire 

Signal Hill

Signal Hill offers some amazing city and Rocky Mountain views all year round, but in winter, the snow-covered streets and open spaces make it feel especially magical. They even have an outdoor skating rink! The elevated vantage points give sweeping views of the city and surrounding mountains, making it a perfect spot to take in the season’s beauty.

Inglewood

If you’re looking for a day out of the cold, Inglewood is lined with cozy restaurants, bakeries, and boutiques, making it easy to bounce in and out of them to avoid the freezing temperatures. You can spend an afternoon vintage shopping, trying out new restaurants, or just enjoying everything the neighbourhood has to offer. 

Crescent Heights

If you’re willing to brave the cold, Crescent Heights offers some of the most rewarding city views in Calgary during the winter. The hilltop streets and walking paths are perfect for sweeping views of the downtown skyline and Bow River, making it a great spot for a crisp winter stroll. It’s a quiet neighbourhood that can feel super calm in the winter.

Marda Loop

Marda Loop has a lively energy that truly shines in the winter. Snow-dusted streets, charming houses, and local parks set the scene for a winter wonderland. You can explore cafes, stores, and restaurants to escape the cold. It’s a great place to enjoy the seasonal charm Calgary has to offer.
