Frequently Asked Questions

How old is your property?

The Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge has been family-owned and proudly independent for over 25 years. While constantly undergoing upgrades, major renovations have taken place in the past year. We are proud of our well-maintained rooms and are dedicated to maintain high standards of cleanliness and comfort for all of our valued guests.

Where are you located?

We are located right in Canmore on Bow Valley Trail, just 10 minutes walking distance from downtown (Main Street). At the Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge, you're at the center of attractions with Banff National Park and Kananaskis Country just minutes away. Truly in the Heart of the Canadian Rockies.

Do you have a restaurant?

We don't have our own restaurant and are glad about this, as the number of restaurants in Canmore is abundant (over 30). How boring to eat every day in a hotel's own restaurant. We will be pleased to help you decide where to have your lunch, dinner or breakfast, depending on your preferences in taste, price range and ambience.

What facilities and amenities do you have?

First of all, our Jacuzzi and Finnish style Sauna are our guests' favourites. We have 8 different room types to choose from with a wide range of bed configurations for various sleeping arrangements. For your leisure we have spectacular mountain views, a picnic area with a barbeque and playground.

The Guides Room is our answer to small meetings and gatherings for up to 25 persons. It is well equipped with a kitchen, wood burning fireplace and ample numbers of tables and chairs for most functions.

A coin laundry, free parking close to rooms, complimentary newspapers and coffee, internet access in our reception area are gestures that will make your stay more comforting.

Are you open year-round?
