WINTER ACTIVITIES

From dogsledding and ice walks to snowshoeing and e-bike tours — Canmore’s winter adventures run all season long. Browse our full lineup of guided tours and outdoor experiences below.

Your effortless connection between Calgary and the Canadian Rockies. Relax from the moment you land. The Brewster Express provides daily, year-round transportation between Calgary International Airport (YYC), downtown Calgary, Canmore, Banff, and Lake Louise, with extended summer service to Jasper.
Slow down and experience winter the way it was meant to be — on snowshoes, deep in the quiet backcountry of the Bow Valley and Kananaskis. The Walk in the Wild Snowshoe Tour invites you to explore snow-covered forests, frozen ponds, and open alpine viewpoints while uncovering the hidden stories of the Rockies along the way.
The Grotto Canyon Ice Walk may be a quick approach, but it’s full of unforgettable winter magic. Your guide will lead you into a narrow frozen canyon where icy waterfalls, ancient pictographs, and towering rock walls surround you at every turn. With ice cleats strapped on, you’ll explore the frozen creek bed, take in breathtaking views, and discover one of the Bow Valley’s hidden winter gems. Hot chocolate, snacks, and chances to spot wildlife make this a must-do adventure for anyone visiting Canmore.
On the Bow Valley Via Ferrata winter experience, travel up Steve's Canyon and see how time has carved away at the limestone to create beautiful smooth faces in the canyon. Along the way, climb out to stunning views of the surrounding alpine landscape. This adventure offers a unique blend of geology, vertical movement, and visual reward.

The Explorer Tour may be our shortest cave tour, but it is by no means short on fun and excitement. Your guide will introduce you to the amazing world of caves, spending approximately 2 hours underground crawling past prehistoric bones, investigating our ancient cave formations and even squeezing into places like the warm-up and challenge squeezes (if you so choose of course!).
The Adventure Tour is Canmore's flagship caving tour and has been recognized as a Canadian Signature Experience. As the longest tour we offer in Rat’s Nest Cave, the Adventure Tour is the complete package.
