Summer–Winter Sports

Canmore Nordic Centre. Built for the 1988 Olympic Nordic skiing events, the center has 70 km (43 miles) of groomed cross-country trails in winter that become hiking and mountain-biking trails in summer. Some trails are lighted for night skiing, and a 1½-km (1-mile) paved trail is open in summer for roller skiing and rollerblading. Other winter sports include ice-skating, winter disc golf, and fat biking; in summer you can also play disc golf and participate in a roller biathlon. The state-of-the-art facility is south of Canmore in the northwestern corner of Kananaskis Country. In late January, an international biathlon and dogsled races take place here as part of the Canmore Winter Carnival. 1988 Olympic Way, Canmore, Alberta, T1W 2T6. 403/678–2400.
