Read moreTop 5 Scenic Drives Around Calgary to Experience in a Volvo
1. Icefields Parkway (Banff to Jasper via Lake Louise)
Often ranked among the world’s most stunning drives, this route winds past turquoise lakes, sweeping glaciers, and dramatic mountain peaks. It’s a dream for road trip lovers—and the perfect setting to enjoy Volvo’s signature comfort, panoramic sunroof, and precision handling. Whether you’re in an XC60 or an S60, the drive is as smooth as it is unforgettable.
2. Bow Valley Parkway (Highway 1A, Lake Louise → Banff)
For a slower, more scenic alternative to the Trans-Canada (Highway 1), this parkway threads through forests, waterfalls, and wildflower meadows. Wildlife viewing is common—you’ll spot elk, bears, and more. It’s the kind of drive where Volvo’s advanced safety features, like Pilot Assist and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), help you relax and enjoy the view—especially with wildlife often crossing the road.
3. Highway 22 South / Foothills Drive (Calgary → Longview → Canmore)
This twisty foothills route skirts the eastern Rockies, showcasing rolling prairie landscapes and scenic curves. A Volvo’s handling and comfort shine here!
4. Highway 1A from Calgary → Canmore → Cochrane (via Bow Valley Trail)
This charming route is a local favourite, offering a scenic alternative to Highway 1 with rolling hills, river valleys, and sweeping views of the Rockies. As you cruise through Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park and into the foothills, it’s the perfect setting to enjoy the smooth ride and quiet cabin of a Volvo XC90 or V60 Cross Country. The intuitive Google Built-In navigation makes it easy to explore side roads without missing a turn.
5. Highwood Pass / Kananaskis Country Drive Loop
Just south of Calgary, this alpine pass is the highest paved road in Canada. The Kananaskis region offers rugged valleys, waterfalls like Elbow Falls, provincial parks, and peaceful forests. Perfect for showcasing Volvo’s all‑wheel-drive safety and winter traction.
