Canmore Travel Guide

This Canadian town sits at an elevation of about 4,800 feet, inside the Rocky Mountains. Canmore, Alberta has a population of just under 15,000 residents, but the little town is big in personality.

Things to Do in Canmore

Grassi Lakes is a great hiking area for the picturesque blue water set against the greens of the trees, all nestled in the mountains high above the town of Canmore. Ha Ling Peak, The Three Sisters, and Grotto Mountain are other top trails for any hiker. Of course, you can’t miss out on the skiing. Back in the town itself, head to Elk Run for all of your artisan souvenir shopping or stroll down Main Street, stopping by any of the outdoor cafes.

Canadians are known for their extreme politeness, hospitality, and helpful personalities.

Best Time to Visit Canmore

For the best skiing, be sure to visit in the winter months. However, the summer months allow you to enjoy all of the hiking and outdoor activities without getting too cold.
