Kananaskis is where mountain living feels both wild and wonderfully accessible. Minutes from Canmore and Banff, and about an hour from Calgary, this valley delivers expansive alpine views, emerald lakes, and crisp air that makes everyday routines feel like a breath of fresh perspective.
Weekends can swing from leisurely to legendary. Wander the shoreline trails of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, a vast mosaic of peaks, larch forests, and backcountry routes managed by Alberta Parks, ideal for hiking, paddling, and wildlife spotting all year long. When snow arrives, carve cruisy groomers at Nakiska Ski Area, originally built for the 1988 Winter Games, or trade downhill laps for Nordic loops and snowshoe tracks. Summer brings fairway perfection at the Kananaskis Country Golf Course, with two 18s framed by glacier-fed rivers and towering summits. Unwind afterward with a soak or spa day in Kananaskis Village, where cozy patios, trailheads, and family-friendly amenities gather in one scenic hub.
Daily life is relaxed but connected. Groceries, healthcare, and dining cluster in the Village and nearby towns, while families typically enroll through Canadian Rockies Public Schools, with programs and campuses in the Bow Valley supporting K–12 learners.
