Canmore is nestled in the spectacular Bow Valley, between the shores of the Bow River and the TransCanada Highway. Towering over this mountain community are the magnificent buttresses of the Rundle Mountain Range, Mount Lady MacDonald, Ha Ling Peak and Three Sisters mountain peaks. We're flanked by two of Alberta's most well-protected and well-known wilderness areas: Banff National Park to the west and Kananaskis Country to the south and east. We're a prime tourist destination - and a beautiful place to live.
Canmore is just five minutes outside the Banff National Park gates, through which close to 5 million tourists pass every year. There are four entrances to Canmore off the four-lane TransCanada Highway just before the gates, so we're always easy to access. And with restaurants, hotels, gas stations, gift shops and other immediate tourist amenities, many visitors to Banff are now making Canmore a destination, sidetracked by Canmore's conveniences, and pleasantly surprised by its charm. The 1996 Banff-Bow Valley Report prompted the federal government to significantly curb further development in Banff, and cap its population. This has meant even more spill-over and growth opportunities in Canmore.
