Canmore is a sportsman’s paradise. During the winter, skiing, snowboarding, and dog sledding dominate the recreation menu.

When the temperature rises it’s fishing, rafting, hiking, and mountain biking that draw visitors to the area. The lush-carpet-like fairways and magnificent mountain panoramas appeal to golfers, and there are a variety of courses to capitalize on in the area.
