CANMORE NORDIC CENTRE PROVINCIAL PARK
Developed in 1986 to host the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, the Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park is one of the few remaining operational Olympic Nordic Skiing venues in the world. Visitors from Alberta, across Canada, and around the world come to the Canmore Nordic Centre to enjoy extensive recreational ski trails, participate in and be spectators at world class events.
More than 65 kilometres of groomed machine-made and natural snow trails grace the base of Mount Rundle in Canmore, Alberta. Most trails are suitable for both classic and skate techniques. A beautiful meadow, located in the middle of the trail system, is easily accessible for skiers of all levels and offers spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.
Our facility offers a 6.5 kilometre illuminated loop on machine made snow for recreational skiers. More than 20 kilometres of trail are supported by machine made snow capabilities, including four large stadium areas. Machine made snow allows an earlier start to the ski season and more consistent conditions year round.
The Canmore Nordic Centre also offers early season skiing in October due to a unique snow storage initiative in which snow is stored from the previous season.
Home of Canada’s National Cross Country
and Biathlon Teams.
OTHER WINTER ACTIVITIESFat BikingWe have devoted some of our popular single track trails to fat biking. Fat biking is only permitted on certain single track trails. Fat biking is not permitted on groomed cross country ski trails, except a small portion of Centennial to reach the fat biking trail. Only fat bikes with tires measuring 3.7 inches wide or wider are allowed. Please visit the front desk to pick up a map and guidelines to fat biking at the Canmore Nordic Centre. There are no fees for fat biking.
SnowshoeingOur dedicated snowshoe loop is approximately 2.5 kilometres in length and includes an in-and-out trail to Lookout Cliffs. Follow the orange snowshoe signs in a recommended clockwise direction to stay on the snowshoe trail. Please note that snowshoeing is not permitted on groomed cross country ski trails.
Winter Disc Golf There are 8 disc golf holes open in the winter. These holes are marked in blue on our disc golf map and avoid skier traffic. A map with a scorecard can be picked up from the front desk.
Ice SkatingThe skating rink is located at the south end of the cross country stadium.
