canmore nordic centre Provincial ParkDeveloped in 1986 to host the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, the Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park is one of the few remaining operational Olympic Nordic skiing venues in the world. Visitors from Alberta, across Canada, and around the world come to the Canmore Nordic Centre to enjoy extensive recreational ski trail, participate in and be spectators at world class events, and capture the Olympic spirit.

More than 65 km of groomed machine-made and natural snow trails grace the base of Mount Rundle in Canmore, Alberta. All trails are suitable or both classic and skate techniques. A beautiful meadow, located in the middle of the trail system, is easily accessible for skiers of all levels and offers spectacular views of the Rocky Mountains.

Recent upgrades to the Canmore Nordic Centre, completed in January 2008, have brought the cross country and biathlon trail systems up to international competition standards once again. As a result, the Centre has successfully hosted three Cross Country World Cup events in 2005, 2008 and 2010 and the 2009 IBU Biathlon Youth and Junior World Championships.

The recent upgrades also improved facilities for recreational skiers by offering a new 6.5 km illuminated loop on machine-made snow. More than 20 km of trail are supported by machine made snow capabilities, including four large stadium areas. Machine made snow allows an earlier start to the ski season and more consistent conditions year round.

The Canmore Nordic Centre also offers early season skiing in October due to a unique snow farming initiative in which snow is stored from the previous season.

home of canada’s national cross country and Biathlon teams.
