Since having the International spotlight shone on it during the 1988 Winter Olympics, Canmore has been transformed from a sleepy coal mining town into one of Canada’s premier holiday destinations. ‘Made in Heaven’ for the outdoor adventurer, Canmore is a scenic and easy paced 1-hour drive from Calgary International Airport and 15 minutes from the world-renown town of Banff. Standing at the gateway of more than 2.5 million acres of protected wilderness, Canmore’s world-class recreational infrastructure combined with its increasingly vibrant and chic après-adventure nightlife, offers visitors an experience for anyone at any time of year.
