Lake Louise…..don’t miss out on this gem of the Canadian Rockies. During the busy summer months it is best to set out very early in the day and weekday to avoid crowds. World class hiking, skiing as well as canoeing, horseback riding or rock climbing.

For the quintessential Canadiana experience nothing beats canoeing on a glacier lake in the majestic Rockies. Our favourite location for this activity is Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, fuel up at Cilantro’s lakeside. While in Yoho it is worth a visit to Takakkaw Falls.

Cosa portare
Don`t forget your jacket!
We have seen the snow fly in every single month of the year in the Canadian Rockies! Be sure to bring comfortable layers of casual clothing for all seasons including a jacket for outerwear. Hopefully you have the best weather but be prepared in case you don’t.
All venues in the Rockies are casual.

Canmore Hiking Trails
6.From the doorstep of the condo you can discover all of Canmore on foot. A huge network of trails can be accessed across the road (Railway Ave). Go past Starbucks/Alberta Treasury, cross the road at the pedestrian cross just past that building which leads you on to the trails. The river loop is the best and the old mining bridge is an architectural beauty. Circle into the downtown for a latte on the return. This is one of my favourite morning activities in Canmore. Grassi Lakes is another easy and popular Canmore hike.
