Along River Ridge

Along River Ridge is in Montgomery, a residential northwest Calgary community beside the Bow River and immediately north of the Trans-Canada Highway corridor. The property is approximately 100 metres from the river, around 1 kilometre from Shouldice Athletic Park and roughly 1.1 kilometres from Market Mall. The University of Calgary is about 1.4 kilometres away in current walking-route information. Local bus stops are available on Home Road and Bowness Road, while Dalhousie CTrain Station is approximately five minutes away by car. Downtown Calgary is not within practical walking distance, so public transport, taxi or a car is useful for central attractions. The riverside surroundings are quieter and more residential than the city centre.

• Use the Bow River pathways for local walking and cycling, as the river is approximately 100 metres from the property.
• Walk to Shouldice Athletic Park, Market Mall and the University of Calgary rather than driving when weather conditions are suitable.
• Use a car, taxi or Calgary Transit for downtown attractions because the property is in residential northwest Calgary rather than the city centre.
• An airport shuttle is available for a surcharge on request, so arrange it with the property before travelling if required.
• Calgary winters can bring snow, ice and very low temperatures, while warm summer days are better suited to the garden, river paths and outdoor barbecue areas.

• Along River Ridge is a small bed-and-breakfast-style property rather than a full-service city hotel, and current listings state that there is no conventional front desk.
• Pets are not permitted under current property-specific booking policies.
• The building does not have a lift, and some upper-level accommodation is reached by stairs, so guests with mobility requirements should confirm the suitability of their selected room before booking.
• The airport shuttle carries an additional charge and must be requested in advance rather than being included automatically with a stay.

Late spring through early autumn is particularly suitable for enjoying the Bow River pathways, garden and other outdoor areas around northwest Calgary. Summer brings the warmest conditions and major events such as the Calgary Stampede. Winter can be very cold with snow and icy surfaces, although it suits travellers combining Calgary with skiing or other winter activities. Spring and autumn weather can change quickly, so layered clothing is useful for outdoor sightseeing.
