Canmore Nordic Centre Provincial Park in Alberta lies just west of Canmore in the Canadian Rockies at the foot of Mount Rundle, along the Bow Valley and the Trans-Canada Highway. Built for the 1988 Winter Olympics, it hosted cross-country skiing, biathlon, and the cross-country segment of the Nordic combined, securing an enduring Olympic role in Canada. It continued as an international competition site, serving the 1991 Banff Winter Deaflympics and later redevelopment for the 2005 Cross-country World Cup and future events. The centre also trains Canada’s biathlon and cross-country ski teams while supporting year-round recreation, including skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and disc golf.
