Description
Due to L R HELICOPTERS’ unique geographical position, your tour begins whilst walking to your aircraft! Breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains to the west are easily visible from your departure point. On departure looking out towards the Rockies, you will turn east towards the City of Calgary. Your first landmark will be the Canadian Olympic Park (COP), the site of the 1988 winter Olympics, and still in use today as a ski and activity center.
Beyond lye’s, Calgary’s modern skyline is dominated by glass towers both old and new. Within minutes you will be touring the downtown core capturing sights such as the Calgary Tower, the Bow Building, Saddledome, and the beautiful Bow River, one of two major waterways which run through the city.
Your pilot will circle the main core where you will almost be able to touch the amazing buildings adorning the city, a view many can only dream about. Your tour will also take in the views of the Glenmore Reservoir and Heritage Park, a site depicting historic Alberta life from the early settlers. On your return to Springbank, you will once again be able to take in the wonders of the Rocky Mountains which are said to still be growing today! Why not take one of our mountain tours and explore these magnificent monuments of Western Canada?

The tour of the Bragg Creek area involves a 30-minute loop that begins as you head west towards the Majestic Rocky Mountains, a truly amazing view in itself. Bragg Creek settlement is only a few-minute flight, just west of Calgary via Red Wood Meadows.
On route, you will look out over the Tsuu T’ina First Nation Territory where the traditional Pow Wow grandstand, still used today, will be in clear view. Your pilot will take you along the banks of the Elbow River, one of the two major waterways which run through Calgary. This is an area rich in wildlife and a variety of vegetation.

Your pilot will fly over the hamlet of Bragg Creek, a small quaint shopping area with an emphasis on traditional stores. Turning toward West Bragg Creek and Moose Flats, you will experience further wildlife that this area has to offer! It’s called Moose Flats for a reason; moose are often spotted in this area, so have your cameras ready!
As a bonus, on the return trip to Springbank, you will fly over the famous movie set originally constructed for the 1994 film Legends of the Fall Starring Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins. The set is still being used in popular films, most recently in The Assassination of Jessie James.
