Event - Gran Fondo Highwood Pass 2012

Gran Fondo Highwood Pass leads riders along Canada’s most spectacular paved road, Alberta Highway 40, the road that travels up and over Highwood Pass, the highest pass in the Canadian Rockies.

Nothing compares to the majestic Canadian Rockies and by taking riders through and over these jutted giants, we’re going to provide participants with an epic experience that would be near-impossible without support from our expert organization. Riders are likely to see elk and deer grazing nearby, moose meandering about, big horn sheep, and possibly even bear during Gran Fondo Highwood Pass.

In addition to taking you over Highwood Pass, this fondo leads you through Kananaskis Country, a truly spectacular tract of public land offering unparalleled views of the mountains and surrounding foothills. Kananaskis Country is renowned for its recreation and tourism. Home to 10 provincial parks and one ecological reserve, Kananaskis Country is picture perfect! You may remember that Nakiska, located within Kananaskis Country, hosted the 1988 alpine skiing and freestyle moguls competitions.
