Explore – Swiss Edelweiss Village
Edelweiss Swiss Village was home to the Swiss Mountain Guides who opened up the Canadian Rockies to mountaineering during the first decades of the 20th century. In 2022, the Digital Heritage Preservation Research Group at the University of Calgary began working with the Swiss Edelweiss Village Foundation to preserve the six chalets that comprise the site.

Stay tuned as we add more content to each Chalet project page.
