Shopping in Canmore
Situated on the doorstep to Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country, the charming mountain town of Canmore has fast become a popular travel destination for a number of reasons.

A tightly compacted town core makes for an easily navigable afternoon of retail therapy, sure to delight the most discerning of shoppers. While most stores are concentrated in the downtown area, additional shopping is also available along nearby Railway Avenue.
FASHION BOUTIQUES
Whether seeking a perfect designer outfit for a night out, casual, earth-friendly clothing or outerwear for a day of hiking, Canmore has it all. A diverse selection of quaint boutiques line the Eighth Street corridor (also known locally as Main Street), where window shopping can often lead to further exploration. Upscale ladies fashions, accessories, footwear, one-of-a-kind jewellery and clothing for the entire family are available at a number of shops around the townsite.
SPORTS & RECREATION SHOPS
A haven for outdoor enthusiasts, Canmore is top notch when it comes to year-round recreation. Downhill skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, running, Nordic skiing, skateboarding and skating are just a few of the activities enjoyed by locals and visitors—so it's no surprise that the town delivers when it comes to outfitting these many pursuits. Full-service ski and snowboard shops, angling outfitters, cycling stores and specialty apparel boutiques provide all the essentials for any undertaking.
