Canmore, Alberta Weddings
Canmore is a town nestled in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, west of Calgary. It’s known for craggy summits like the Three Sisters and Ha Ling Peak. Planning a wedding in Canmore provides a number of exciting activities and natural venues to choose from.
Your wedding day will be pure magic set amongst the snowy peaks on the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Bask in amazing natural outdoor venues, such as Tunnel Mountain Reservoir and the Rundleview Parkette.
Caving
Caving is a fantastic activity that can be enjoyed year-round! The internal temperature of the caves remains constant even in Winter! Take wedding guests for a natural history tour of the Rat’s Nest Cave, under Grotto Mountain. Tour the 4km cave created by the meltwaters of ancient glaciers.
Kayaking
Kayaking on nearby lakes are an excellent way to not only enjoy the natural beauty of Banff National Park in serene settings, but also to observe the area’s wildlife in their natural habitat. It’s also an excellent opportunity to laze away an afternoon fishing.
White Water Rafting
If you and your wedding guests are the adventurous type, check out rapids such as, “Roller Coaster”, “Hopi Hole”, “Goat Rapid” and “Twin Peaks” that are certain to leave you with big smiles. The most famous rapid is known throughout the area…the “Portage” and “Shotgun” rapids! (Cue dramatic music!) Long, continuous, quick and tricky, this section of river is, without question, the most popular and memorable section of true class IV to IV+ rafting in the Alberta area.
