THINGS TO DO IN CANMORE

On the Bow Valley Via Ferrata 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.

Big mountain views, glacial waters, beautiful spruce and pine shorelines and ample opportunities to catch a glimpse or two of some wildlife, are just a few of the highlights that our Townie Float offer our guests. Tie that in with a fully guided experience from one of our interpretive guides and this makes for the perfect outing for everyone. This gentle 1 hr float starts downtown Canmore, only a few minutes away from the local pubs, restaurants, shops and galleries, and only a hop, skip and a jump from most hotels and bed and breakfasts.

This intermediate tour allows you to experience the scenic beauty and rush of the lower Kananaskis River in your own inflatable kayak, guided by our friendly, knowledgeable team. This half-day adventure is perfect for those looking for an active yet approachable river experience. Expect sweeping mountain views, potential wildlife sightings, and a few splashes as you navigate fun, rolling rapids. With a medium adventure rating, it’s the sweet spot between thrill and chill.

The Kananaskis River hosts playful whitewater rapids and scenic landscapes. With class 2-3 whitewater rapids, it’s a great adventure for all ages (5 years old and up) and ability levels; a river experience everyone can enjoy!

Join Canmore Adventures and expert PeakSTRATAGEM guides for an unforgettable vertical adventure in the Bow Valley.
