Canmore by itself is a hidden treasure with pristine natural beauty. The Nordic Centre is a very interesting place to visit. I learnt a lot about the history of skiing and the awards won by Canada in the past years. There were skiing equipments and clothing that were in use by the champions way back in early 1900's. Just opposite this Centre is a ski rental store. The Nordic Centre has a banquet hall for celebrations,Cafeteria and restrooms. You can get all hiking and tourist information from their reception as well as pay for the Pass to enter Kananaskis. The staff are very helpful and friendly. As there are lots of bears in the area you could get bear sprays and other trekking or cycling items in the store opposite the Nordic Center. The location of the Nordic Centre is picturesque . The hiking and trekking trails are easy to follow . Inside the Centre there is a huge area covered with large windows over looking on to this beautiful mountainous region with its untouched beauty.

Once the site of the Winter Olympics, this park is a great place to visit! Having never been cross country skiing before it was something new and exciting. We rented our skis in town before heading to the lodge to purchase the passes. They were not outlandishly priced and there wasn't much of a line. I would recommend studying the maps and/or chatting with an employee if you've never been to get a feel of where you're heading. We got our legs beneath us a bit in the warm up area in front of the lodge before heading down the trail. THey were groomed quite nicely and we were cruising along in only a few minutes. Everyone was quite friendly along the way even if we fumbled a bit as we tried to step out of the path to let them by. Highly recommend giving this a shot! I wasn't 100% in when my spouse recommended it but was very glad I did it! We wore far too many layers....and were soaked in sweat by the 1/4 point! It's a workout!

We had a wonderful time here at the Nordic center! As beginners we didn't know what to expect at first on a private lesson. But the staff at the rental center explained everything well and even helped us put on the gears. And the view, oh my, my phone with shaky fingers cannot do the justice for the scene. The best of the entire experience was our coach Petr. He knows how to get us to progress with techniques, also he showed us what to practice when we are on our own afterwards. And he's an amazing photographer, when two of us the parents busy staying Balanced, he was back skiing and taking photos and videos for our kids. So we have something to take back for the memory. I'd recommend him to anyone. Thank you Petr!!

Incredible venue for our wedding. The location is so gorgeous and perfect for an outdoor ceremony. The day couldn't have gone better thanks to our INCREDIBLE wedding planner Maren, who is a part of the nordic centre team. She was so organized and my family couldn't stop talking about how well planned everything was. The catering and bar staff were also so great and lovely to chat with. I had a lot of comments from my guests saying the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding! I can't think of a single tiny critique. It really was the perfect location, food, and staff!

Beautiful crystal clear lakes that are perfect for a hot summer day. For the love of all that is holy, drive up and park there. Do not under any circumstances take the trail up with your kids! One will complain non stop until you ponder prolicide. Another will just give up and choose to live half way up the cliff forever like the troll they are. Then the oldest will scream complain until she has a panic attack from lack of oxygen. The trails are well maintained, switchbacks and even stairs but none of this matters if your only skills are Xbox, Netflix and complaining.
