We would highly recommend this place to rent your snowmobiles, and we would also recommend taking the guide option, well worth it and ends up cheaper than the basic rental .

Discover Canada Tours organized this trip to the Willow Ranch for breakfast on the last day of a four day trip of the Canadian Rockies. It was like leaving the best for the last. After checking out from our hotel in Valemount early morning at 7 am were driven down to the ranch a little distance away from the hotel. Real cowboys and horses were waiting for us. Willow Ranch is a real ranch with horses, donkeys, a breakfast kitchen, 2 bonfires, a broken down jalopy, and real cowboys and ranchers. We started with a cup of black coffee and got a plate of hash browns, and a muffin with a cheese slice and a tomato slice. We had to serve ourselves directly from the open ranch kitchen which is run by the resident family. There were wooden tables and benches besides the kitchen and ranch house. Then there was a session of lassoing, throwing, hammering a nail in to a log of wood, and some dancing. Everyone had a jolly time here with us learning to lasso and line-dance with our new friends from around the world. Even our dignified friend from Japan was enjoying doing the line dance. They do have some cabins for lodging as well as a gift shop where you can buy some cowboy style stuff. They arrange horse riding trips on the mountain trails too.

Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. They gave us excellent suggestions on where to swim ( Lake Eleanor in Blue River), where to hike ( Little Lost Lake & Berg Trail to Kinney Lake). You can even watch the salmon run behind the tourist center. Unfortunately, they were not there while we were. That was my only disappointment. Our three days there was wonderful, thanks to their advice. Bought some cool T-shirts there & natural mosquito bug spray.

Wife and I were checking out Valemount for the first time, and as fans of craft beer (have had three ranges beer in cans before) knew we had to come check out the brewery! We were so warmly welcomed in when we arrived (common theme with our trip) and promptly had our order taken and shown to a seat out on their newly expanded patio area. They had lots of outdoor seating with plenty of space in between. My wife and I both got a flight to try out a variety of their beers and were not disappointed. All of them we tried we enjoyed! They had small growlers to fill in the beer we liked the most. Great experience at Three ranges, and will definitely be going again next time we return to Valemount!!
