If you like the outdoors with an edge, you'll love this neck of the woods. The Canadian Rockies is the place for serious skiers, boarders, and powder chasers. After the snow melts and the skis are packed away, a new world of adventure awaits your discovery. Hiking and mountain biking trails into the back country are open for endless exploration. Try kayaking, rafting and canoeing to keep the whole family entertained. Whatever it is you have in mind, Banff has a wonderful range of attractions. Explore waterfalls, caves, hot bubbling springs, or Banff's magnificent natural wonder, the Great Divide. Located between Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country, Canmore is home to an abundance of outdoor recreation.

Summer activities include Whitewater rafting, horseback riding, helicopter tours, float trips, hiking, mountain biking and a variety of excellent golf courses to choose from, and these are just a few. During the winter months, this area of the Canadian Rockies is described as a magical Winter Wonderland. Activities include snowmobiling, ice fishing, sleigh rides, snow shoeing, ice climbing and dog sledding. Canmore is also a premier spot for Cross-Country skiing. Home to the Nordic ski events for the 1988 Winter Olympics, the Nordic Centre alone offers over 90km of world class trails.
