The Revenant was filmed mostly in Alberta, Canada , especially Kananaskis Country near Calgary. It also used locations in British Columbia, Montana, and Argentina for some scenes.

Main filming spots

  • Kananaskis Country, Alberta — the main wilderness setting.
  • Squamish Valley, British Columbia — used for the bear attack scene.
  • Montana, USA — used for waterfall/rapids scenes.
  • Tierra del Fuego / Ushuaia, Argentina — used when snow conditions changed in North America.

Quick scoop

The movie was set in the northern frontier, but most of the filming happened in the Canadian Rockies because the landscape gave it that cold, remote, survival feel. If you want, I can also list the exact scene-to-location matches.
