Canmore Town & City Reviews

The magnificence of the Alberta Rockies defies description. You could visit a thousand times and they will always look different from before, but always spectacular. The Rockies are a year round attraction, no matter what season you visit in, you can be assured that you will have a tremendous time.

Nestled in Bow Valley, along the banks of the Bow River, Canmore is an outdoor adventure paradise embraced by the front ranges of Alberta's majestic Rockies. Superbly located on the east edge of the famous Banff National Park and just north of beautiful Kananaskis Country, this true mountain village is in the thick of the wild, and is only about an hour from Calgary International Airport. Needless to say, the town sees a lot of visitors and temporary residents, attracted by the wealth of outdoor adventures waiting in the mountains and on the river.

Kananaskis, also known as Kananaskis Country, is a destination where year round activities, adventures and inspiring natural beauty make an indelible impression on those who visit. In the summer alpine meadows spill down the craggy peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Campers, hikers and bikers drawn into the rugged peaceful surroundings are met by countryside bejeweled with crystal icy rivers, fresh alpine air, and meadows that teem with brilliant wild flowers. Winter brings skiers and other adventurers who derive great pleasure in the white frozen beauty of the Rockies.
