Welcome to Canmore—where jagged peaks, endless trails, and wild beauty converge. Just an hour from Calgary and tucked between Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country, this vibrant mountain town is your gateway to year-round adventure. Whether it’s hiking, biking, skiing, climbing, or simply soaking in the mountain views.
Canmore offers the perfect blend of thrill and chill.
But the thrills don’t stop once you’re off the trails. You’ll discover a creative, laid-back community full of charm. Explore indie art galleries, unwind in cozy cafés, sip craft beer from small-batch breweries, and dive into a culinary scene that rivals cities twice its size. From sun-soaked summer patios to deep powder days in winter, Canmore keeps the energy flowing no matter the season.
Lace up and hit local favourites like Ha Ling Peak, Grassi Lakes, and the East End of Rundle. Whether you’re trail running through the Nordic Centre or scrambling Goat Creek, Canmore’s mountain views bring the drama.
Home to some of the best climbing in North America—Canmore’s got it all. Crank classic routes at Cougar Canyon in summer, then switch to Grotto Falls and Junkyards when the ice sets in.
From flowy singletrack at the Canmore Nordic Centre to cruisy rides along the Bow River Loop, this town is built for two wheels. Roadie? Jump on the Legacy Trail and ride all the way to Banff.
Grab a coffee from Eclipse, browse art at Carter-Ryan Gallery, or sip craft beer at Sheepdog Brewing. Canmore’s downtown blends mountain-town charm with creative, small-town energy.
Canmore turns into a snowy playground come winter. Nordic ski at the world-class Canmore Nordic Centre, snowshoe Tunnel Mountain trails, or try dog sledding in nearby Spray Lakes.
