Canmore Tourism

In 2006 the little mountain community of Canmore has a population of 16,000 people, with approximately 5,000 of that number only living here part time, and wishing it was full time.

With a history of coal mining until 1979, Canmore came into its own after hosting the Nordic (Cross Country and Biathlon ) events of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, at that time the little town had a population of approximately 3200 people. It was this signature event that truly exposed Canmore to the world for the first time, and in truth exposed the residents of Canmore to their true calling.

The next sixteen years would see incredible changes; the evolution of a wide selection of stunning full service hotel accommodations and self catering or all suite chalet style units, charming bed and breakfasts, an eclectic gathering of incredible restaurants, pubs and patios capable of sating the most discerning palate, all this built around a community of active outdoor access, with year round recreation opportunities which just have to be experienced.

Some things don’t change, as today visitors to Canmore continue to comment on the qualities of the town and the congeniality of the people. There is a certain authenticity here, and it yields an almost magical feeling of belonging. The sense of community is deep, and despite dynamic growth and demand for Canmore Real Estate, the indomitable spirit of the place has held.

A visit to downtown Canmore reveals a low key Alpine village atmosphere, with a significant selection of exquisite galleries and unique gift shops. This very contemporary character is not immediately visible, but as one explores business after business, the experience takes shape, and you begin to sense the true character of the place. Simply put, Canmore is a place of understated excellence.
