Mountain Biking
The Canmore Nordic Centre offers some of the best mountain biking in the Canadian Rockies. Wide rolling dirt roads can take you on leisurely rides to lookouts and spectacular scenery. The cross country ski trails offer a challenging experience on rolling terrain, while those wishing to experience the highest level of mountain biking can ride the wide variety of single track trails, ranging in difficulty from beginner to advanced.
Trail Sports has mountain bikes available to rent for you to go explore the trails with friends and family. You can also choose to improve your riding skills with a Mountain Bike Skills Lesson with one of our qualified instructors. Trail Sports mountain bike guides are certified Professional Mountain Bike Instructors and have been teaching and guiding groups of all ages since 1991. Their knowledge of the area allows them to find interesting rides for all abilities. We offer programs suitable for families, school groups, corporate groups and we can tailor our programs to meet your needs.
