Options to suit all interests
Travelling with friends, a team, a class from school or any kind of group can foster some of a person's most memorable and enduring travel experiences. Hostelling International (HI) has over 75 years of experience with hosting groups of all kinds, and we have succeeded in creating an atmosphere of international community, camaraderie and learning that is unique within the travel world.

Rockies Hostel Network
HI has a unique network of hostels in Alberta to suit all tastes.  The rustic wilderness hostels in areas like Mosquito Creek and Kananaskis are perfect wooded ventures venues from which to stage your outdoor adventures. Groups can rent the entire facility and experiment with winter or spring camping while having the comfort and safety of a hostel nearby. For those seeking more hotel-style amenities, we have the modern hostels in Banff, Lake Louise and Calgary which provide a perfect setting for ski trips, sightseeing or other urban activities.

Group Planning...We Can Help
Planning a school outing can involve a myriad of details, and we can assist with many of these.  In addition to providing exceptional budget accommodation, we also offer services that include itinerary planning, working with outdoor activity suppliers, dealing with insurance and liability issues, and supplying food and beverage.  Through our large network of contacts, we can arrange a multi day package that showcases unique areas of the Rocky Mountains at preferred prices that are unavailable to other trip planners. Some of these activities include hiking, biking, horseback riding, hot pools, float trips, snowshoeing, canoeing, cross-country or downhill skiing, interpretive walks, science or local history studies.

Let us put our experience to work for you. Think of HI when you are planning your next group trip in Alberta.  For more information, please contact us at the phone numbers and email listed below.

Summer activities include whitewater rafting, horseback riding, ATV tours, kayaking/canoeing, rock climbing, cave tours, guided hikes, bike rentals and sightseeing tours. For the cool winter season, we can help you arrange ski/snowboard packages, ice walks, snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice climbing and sightseeing.
