X-Country Skiing

Discover the quiet magic of winter in the Nordegg region, where cross-country skiing invites you to explore snow-covered forests, open meadows, and breathtaking Rocky Mountain views. This is skiing at its most authentic—peaceful, uncrowded, and deeply connected to nature.

Bring your own gear and prepare for self-supported adventures—Well-loved by locals and maintained by dedicated volunteers, the groomed trails in Shunda Meadow and on the historic Nordegg Golf Course offer accessible and scenic terrain for classic and skate skiing. For those looking to venture off the beaten path, the forest trails near Goldeye Lake offer a more secluded backcountry experience.

As you glide through the landscape, watch for signs of wildlife—elk, deer, and even wild horses roam freely here, adding a touch of wonder to every outing. The stillness of the forest, broken only by the swish of your skis, creates a sense of calm that stays with you long after the snow has settled.

In Nordegg, winter isn’t something to endure—it’s something to savour. With friendly locals ready to point you in the right direction. Discover the calm, the clarity, and the quiet joy of cross-country skiing in the crisp mountain air and let the rhythm of winter carry you.
