Helpful tips for your trip to Calgary
The best months for campervan hire in Calgary are between June and September. The weather is best during this time, and the days are longer, making it an excellent time to explore the local area. Spring (April and May) is also good, as fewer people will be around, but it's when the area is starting to warm up. It will also be cheaper to rent a campervan in Calgary during Spring.
- Hiking
The Canadian Rockies offer some of the best hiking opportunities in the world. For the best time, plan your hikes between June and September when the weather is warm and the trails are clear. If you prefer fewer crowds, consider hiking in early June or late September when the temperatures are still comfortable.
- Cultural experiences
Like most places, the best cultural events happen in the summer. The Calgary Stampede in July is one of the best events, offering rodeos, concerts, and exhibitions.
- National parks
Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, and Waterton Lakes National Park each offer unique landscapes and experiences. The best time to visit these are between June and September. Always have a map and enough supplies when visiting these parks, and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
