SUNDAY 9:00 A .M. LET THERE BE SKYLIGHT Sunhouse is aptly named—the ceiling is all win- dows, so this IG-worthy brunch spot is always flooded with natural light. The food is just as photogenic (and, importantly, tastes as good as it looks): the lineup includes key lime French toast, Turkish eggs and hal- loumi and next-level avocado sourdough toast topped with pomegranate, preserved lemon and pistachio dukkah. 12 :00 P.M. SOUP FOR YOU Fuel up for a canyon tour at the Maligne Canyon Wilderness Kitchen (lunch is included when you book the six-and- a-half-hour tour). Get the open-faced fried chicken sando with white barbecue sauce and smoked tomato jam—it's delicious and comes with a side of soup. If there's time, browse the huge gift shop be- fore your canyon tour begins. 1:00 P.M. CANYON DO ATTITUDE For those afraid of heights: the Maligne Canyon Icewalks will make your heart race, but it's totally worth it. Thanks to Mother Nature, our planet's most terrifying artist, the canyon becomes a treasure trove of organic sculptures, rippling waterfalls and icy caves in the winter. A guide provides you with boots, spikes and a helmet and the tour starts at the top—walk along the (fenced) cliffside and peer down into the canyon below if you dare. But the most enchanting views are at the bottom, where you can gaze up at the mesmerizing formations frozen in motion and duck under walls of icicles. 7:00 P.M. ALPINE DINING End the day at Terra, a restaurant that marries the rustic mountain landscape with modern design and innovative cooking. The Aurora Mule cocktail (Epitaph gin, rosemary syrup, triple sec, soda and lime) is inspired by the northern lights and sparkles with edible glitter. The simple but oh-so-deli- cious house sourdough is served with an unexpected, umami-forward spread (miso butter!) and the corn ribs are a smoky vegetarian triumph. Main-wise, steak frites is an obvious choice (when in Alberta...) but the duck with smoked black garlic mushrooms is an outside-the-box winner. (Clockwise from top) Guests are provided with boots, spikes and a helmet for Maligne Canyon Ice- walks; the walks feature mesmeriz- ing ice formations; kick off he day with brunch at the Sunhouse.
