Canmore Dining

This wilderness lodge in majestic Kananaskis Country is a 40-minute drive from Canmore. Drop-in for afternoon tea or reserve 24 hours ahead for a seasonally inspired three-course dinner that changes daily.

Atmosphere

Mount Engadine Lodge has nine cozy guest rooms, 5 brand new glamping tents, yurt accommodations and rustic décor including antique snowshoes and ski poles displayed on the walls. At the family-style dining room with communal tables, diners share stories with their travelling companions and new friends. The deck with mountain and meadow views is popular on warm days, while the lounge with bookcases and stone fireplaces is the favourite spot for afternoon tea on cooler days. Activities include hiking, cycling, fishing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
