Canmore is located about 60 minutes west from the outskirts of Calgary. The town of Canmore lies nestled along the banks of the Bow River in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It is close to Banff and Kananaskis Country. 

It has sustainable growth with a small town feel. There are several walking and cycling trails leading to the downtown core. Enjoy golfing, sightseeing, hiking, white-water rafting, horseback riding, biking, shopping, observing wildlife, a multitude of eating establishments or just relaxing.

Banff National Park, which is about 20 minutes from Canmore, was established in 1885 as Canada’s first National Park and third in the world. The park and town site offers rugged beauty, unspoiled landscapes, and pristine mountain ranges. You will be hard pressed to find a finer balance of unspoiled wilderness and refined amenities. You can also drink in nature’s wonder at Lake Louise—one of the Canadian Rockies’ most beloved destinations, with turquoise waters sparkling underneath the towering Victoria Glacier.
