"One weekend you're chasing mountain views. The next you're discovering prairie secrets down a road you've never taken before." — Sydney Everingham

As the founder of Brix Real Estate, local realtor Sydney Everingham knows Alberta's communities better than most. Whether she's meeting clients, discovering small towns, or chasing the province's incredible landscapes, she's always on the road—making her the perfect guide to experience Alberta behind the wheel of the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport.

Living in Alberta means your vehicle has to do more than simply get you from point A to point B.

One weekend might take you through the mountains of Waterton Lakes National Park. The next could have you exploring the hoodoos, canyons and winding roads of Drumheller. Whether you're commuting through Calgary or heading out on a spontaneous weekend escape, Alberta asks a lot from your vehicle.

As local creator Sydney Everingham puts it, "A vehicle here has to do MORE than look good. It has to be comfortable enough for long drives, functional enough for real life, and safe enough to handle whatever Alberta decides to throw at you."

After spending time exploring Alberta in the 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, it's easy to see why it fits that description.

Built for the Journey

Some of the best adventures don't begin with a detailed itinerary.

"Pack up the Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Pick up your favourite human. Start driving."

That was Sydney's approach to exploring Drumheller, where an afternoon turned into crossing suspension bridges, spotting dinosaurs through the panoramic sunroof, and pulling over whenever the landscape demanded another photo.

The Atlas Cross Sport makes those spontaneous moments easy. With a spacious interior, generous cargo room, available panoramic sunroof and standard 4MOTION® All-Wheel Drive, it's designed for everything from everyday errands to unforgettable weekend escapes.

Discover Alberta, One Road Trip at a Time

Drumheller

Only a short drive from Calgary, Drumheller is one of Alberta's most unique destinations. Explore the Royal Tyrrell Museum, hike through Horseshoe Canyon, visit the famous Hoodoos and take the scenic Dinosaur Trail.

"Proof that sometimes the best adventures happen when you simply decide to go."

Waterton Lakes National Park

If mountain scenery is more your style, Waterton offers breathtaking lakes, hiking trails and one of the most scenic drives in the province. It's the perfect destination for slowing down, taking the scenic route and enjoying every kilometre along the way.

More Than an SUV

What stood out most during Sydney's Alberta road trips wasn't just the destinations—it was how effortless the journey felt.

"One thing I love about the Atlas Cross Sport is how effortless it feels. Comfortable enough for long drives, spacious enough for all the random things that end up coming along for the ride, and packed with thoughtful safety features that let you focus on the experience instead of the logistics."

That's what makes the Atlas Cross Sport such a great fit for Alberta. It's equally at home navigating downtown Calgary as it is exploring the Badlands or winding through the Rockies.

Start Your Next Adventure

Sometimes the best memories aren't attached to expensive vacations or major milestones.

As Sydney writes, "The older I get, the more I realize some of the best memories aren't attached to a big milestone or expensive trip. They're built in these simple afternoons."

The 2026 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is built for those moments - the spontaneous road trips, scenic detours and unforgettable conversations that happen somewhere between the destination and the drive home.
