The Canmore Nordic Centre is a world-class outdoor recreation area just minutes from downtown Canmore. Originally built for the 1988 Winter Olympics, it’s now a go-to spot for cross-country skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and biathlon. In the winter, you’ll find over 65 km of groomed trails, and in the summer, the area transforms into a network of scenic biking and hiking routes. With a mix of beginner to advanced trails, equipment rentals, and epic mountain views, it’s the perfect place to get active outdoors.

Things to Do
– Cross-country ski or snowshoe in winter (trail pass required)
– Mountain bike or hike trails in summer
– Visit the day lodge for rentals, food, and warm-up spots
– Try biathlon or take a lesson (seasonal)

Tip: If visiting in winter, arrive early - this spot is popular with locals and athletes. Rentals are available onsite if you’re new to the sport.
