Summer Winter

Canmore is an excellent summer destination, with mountain vistas under the Alberta blue sky. Our climate also offers:

  • Low humidity during the months of July and August
  • Warm temperatures averaging aournd 21º Celsius (70º F)
  • Extended daylight hours: beyond 11 p.m. at the summer solstice

All of these factors add up to perfect conditions for summer activities. Some favourite summer attractions include:

Canmore is a great place to enjoy just about any winter outdoor activity you can imagine. Canmore enjoys plenty of reliable snow and a relatively long winter recreation season. Although temperatures are often below freezing, we have regular chinooks that relieve the cold, and often bring even more snow.
