Around Calgary

Comfortable winter walking: In the wintertime, residents use Calgary’s Skywalk, the Plus 15 network, to get around the downtown core. With 16 kilometres of elevated, weather-protected and climate-controlled walkways connect buildings in downtown Calgary, it’s the largest system of its kind in the world, and solves issues of pedestrian mobility, connecting people to services and destinations throughout downtown—even in the most severe weather!
