Here in Canmore and Kananaskis, we encourage sustainable modes of transportation whenever possible. Luckily, there are plenty of options for you to choose from!
Getting Around Canmore
By Foot
We believe it’s about the journey as much as it’s about the destination – that’s why the best way to get around is on foot! Canmore offers an extensive network of multi-use trails extending throughout the town and beyond to surrounding recreation areas. With our varied trail systems, from maintained gravel path systems to paved trails, it’s easy to get where you need to be.
By Bike
No matter what the season, residents and visitors alike take advantage of the beautiful multi-use pathways, cyclist amenities, and bike-friendly businesses Canmore has to offer. Trade in four wheels for two and discover how easy it is to navigate around town by bike while soaking in the mountain views.
No bike? No problem! Pick up a rental at one of our preferred retailers.
By Transit
Roam Transit is your ticket to easy exploration. Hop on Route 5C and 5T year-round or Route 12 in the summer from anywhere in Canmore and ride throughout the Town – for FREE. Day trip to Banff? Route 3 will get you there and back at an affordable rate.
By Taxi
Local taxi services are available for convenient travel around town. Currently, Uber and Lyft are not operational in Canmore.
Regional Transportation
There are several shuttles and private transportation services that provide a seamless connection between Canmore and regional attractions like Banff National Park, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake. We recommend reviewing these options to find the best fit for your travel needs.
Park Passes
While a park pass isn’t needed for Canmore itself, exploring beyond Kananaskis or Banff National Park requires a parks pass.
Kananaskis Conservation Pass: Access to provincial parks and protected areas in Kananaskis Country and the Bow Valley Corridor, including Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park.
National Park Pass: Required for Banff National Park and other national parks in Canada.
