Alberta’s proposed Fortress Mountain Resort faces scrutiny under new laws, aiming for year-round tourism while addressing environmental and Indigenous concerns.
The proposed Fortress Mountain Resort in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country, backed by Ridge North America, is a pivotal test of the province’s 2024 All-season Resorts Act, aiming to boost tourism revenue to $25 billion by 2035.
The project, spanning 1,470 hectares on Crown land, plans year-round activities like skiing, ziplining, and spa services, leveraging existing infrastructure and targeting 10,000 annual visitors.
It requires Indigenous consultation, public input, and an environmental assessment amid concerns over wildlife impacts, potential encroachment on Spray Valley Provincial Park, traffic, and affordability.
Developers say it will preserve natural landscapes and avoid greenfield construction.
Construction could start as early as 2027 if approvals are granted.
