Despite hordes of tourists and high prices, June through August is considered to be the best time to visit Calgary. That's when the most popular events like Calgary Stampede happen. Summer is also the best period for biking and hiking. Are you a passionate snowboarder or skier? Visit Calgary from November through March. Just dress in layers and enjoy the ride as well as low room rates. Spring in Calgary is short but pleasant. It can be muddy because of the melting snow, but you'll be surprised by the affordable lodging. Spend some time at a Calgary beerfest, a must-visit event in early May. Shoulder season from September to October demands warmer garments but offers better deals and quieter streets in return. Don't hesitate to explore Grassi, Hector, and Chester Lakes, which are particularly charming during fall.
