From downtown Calgary to a Kananaskis alpine lake, why the season you visit changes what you'll actually see at these Rocky Mountain filming spots
The Canada scenes in Can This Love Be Translated? move from downtown Calgary to the badlands of Drumheller and on to the Rockies around Canmore, Kananaskis, and Banff. We cross-checked Canada's tourism resources and local facility information to compile these 15 spots across three zones β city, badlands, and mountains β and flagged the ones where the season you visit changes what you'll actually find.
Downtown Calgary is easy to visit year-round, but Drumheller's unpaved trails and the mountain roads around Kananaskis and Banff can face winter closures or ice. Scenes like the aurora or a particular sunset are also weather- and season-dependent, so don't plan around getting the exact same view. Details are current as of August 2026 and may change.
