Explore Geographical Wonders in Nordegg

Discovering the area surrounding your cabin in Nordegg offers memorable experiences, with many places that will inspire nature-loving children. Dominating Nordegg's north horizon is the gorgeous Coliseum Mountain, which offers exciting hiking expeditions to its summit, most of which are suitable for children. Hikers can reach the peak using the Ridgeline Trail on the east and the Coliseum Trail on the west. The stunning view from the top makes the climb well worth it.

Another geographical wonder and one that your kids will love to see in winter is Abraham Lake. A human-made lake, it features crystal-clear, turquoise waters. The water and the rippling waves on the shores freeze during the cold season, trapping air bubbles inside the ice - it is a sight to behold. On Goldeye Lake, enjoy ice fishing or skiing down the powdered slopes in the Provincial Recreation Area.

Enjoy Historical and Natural Attractions

Nordegg's impressive historical and natural attractions offer excellent options for action-packed days out. The Nordegg Heritage Center and Brazeau Collieries Historic Mine Site celebrates the community's history. The heritage center houses photographs and exhibits that chronicle the past mining explorations. The mine itself, meanwhile, features the original entrance of the mining shaft and the briquette plant.

Crescent Falls is easily one of the most glorious and awe-inspiring geographical wonders in Alberta. It's a series of falls in the Crescent Falls Provincial Recreation Area, beautifully cascading into Bighorn River. What fascinates visitors most is how they have sculptured the crescent-shaped, multi-layered walls behind and around it. The equestrian site in the park offers guests horse-riding trips around the area.
