10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Canmore That You Shouldn't Miss

June 4, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Catapulted to fame for its part in the 1988 Winter Olympics, this former coal-mining town in the Canadian Rockies is a perfect base for visiting some of the country’s most impressive national parks. First stop for most visitors is the ski trails in Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park. Contemplate natural wonders at the Museum and Geoscience Centre, and mush through the snow on a sled-dog tour.

GearUp Sports was first established in 1996 specialising in sports rental equipment, including Downhill, Backcountry and Nordic skis, ice skates, snow shoes and climbing equipment. In summer months we rent full suspension mountain bikes, E-Bikes and 'Legacy Trail' hybrid bikes.

Reviewed By N5646PDkenh - Canmore, Canada

I have rented equipment and had skis tuned at GearUp many times over the past 15 years and confirm they are the best rental shop in the Rockies. I base this statement on personal experience and the fact that GearUp has: 1. a wide selection of new high-quality equipment, 2. knowledgeable and friendly staff, 3: convenient location and efficient process to minimize wait time. I really appreciated the safety precautions they have taken around COVID i.e. one-way flow: in one door, get Geared Up and out another separate door.

Wild Life Distillery

Wild Life Distillery is a craft distillery situated in Canmore, Alberta. Our spirits are produced, distilled and bottled on site from Albertan prairie grains. The distillery offers delicious craft cocktails, tastings, and bottle sales. Open daily, no appointments needed. Come and visit!

Reviewed By TwoTrout - Phoenix, United States

We didnt actually get a chance to visit the Distillery itself but had the chance to buy some of their liquid courage at a local liquor store, in Downtown Canmore. Its our hands down new favorite Gin. My Wife is more of the Gin drinker, but I love a good Gin martini every now and then. This stuff is putting big names to shame. I wont name other Gins because I believe Wildlife is killing the game. However, I will say they have some strong competition with Park Distillery in Banff... ;) We crushed a bottle of their Wildlife Gin while visiting last week and got a bottle of their Barrel Aged Gin to take home back to Arizona. We haven't opened that yet but are super excited to taste.

Moose Trail Overland

Moose Trail was started by a couple of Canmore Firefighters with a passion for adventure! Our goal is to bring you away from the crowds and show you something that you won’t get on other tours. Start your day on the water in a raft or on a paddle board, then enjoy some spirits at a local distillery and finally take a dive up a bumpy mountain road to an isolated lodge for Dinner. It is very common to see wildlife on our tour so don’t forget the camera!
