What can you do in this area?
Lots! Plenty of activities for all kind of people. Sightseeing (a lot of it!!), hiking, biking, paddling, skiing, climbing, fishing, scrambling, skating, mountaineering, shopping... One trip won’t get you through all of it!

Who are we?
My name is Rob, and my wife is Martine. I came to the Rockies for a summer camp in 2000 and 2001. I immediately fell in love with the area. I took my wife on a road trip in 2004 and she had the same reaction. It took us 10 years to finally leave the province of Quebec and cross the country with our 3 young children to start a new life in Canmore. Since 2014, we call it home. We love to explore those mountains by foot. We’ve scrambled a few of them and are always looking for new peaks to explore. We now have a furry friend that follow us everywhere, Bernie. You can see him on some pictures. We’ve been sharing our passion for the mountain with our guest since 2015. It’s been an incredible journey that brought us to meet some amazing people.
We outline rules in our rental agreement.
Having fun and a good time is permitted at all time!

Great Place to Stay in Canmore
It was the first time we stayed in Canmore. The condo location was very good with easy access to the town centre. It was quiet and relaxed for a nice family weekend, with plenty of room and a well set up kitchen with a fantastic coffee maker!
