Excursión ciclista de un día de Calgary a Chestermere

Fancy a scenic suburban spin? This route takes you from Calgary’s bustling downtown—home to the iconic Calgary Tower and a fantastic craft coffee scene—out east to the laid-back lake city of Chestermere. It’s about 34 km, mostly along smooth paved cycleways, so you can just settle in and enjoy the ride.

You’ll roll out of Calgary’s urban core, quickly leaving traffic behind as you follow paths that wind through city parks and along the Bow River, before crossing open prairie lands. Expect gentle ups and downs—nothing too tough—and a nice, fast descent as you cruise toward Chestermere’s lakeside vibe. With more than 90% of the path on designated cycleway, it’s a ride where you can chat, listen to music, or just enjoy those wide Alberta skies.

Finish up with a lakeside picnic in Chestermere—they’re famous for their water sports and seriously friendly community. Perfect half-day escape from the city!
