Thoughts From the Path

“My family and I had a wonderful time on our voyageur canoe trip. It’s a unique experience that brought together Canadian history, the outdoors and lots of laughs. Our guide Tiffany was amazing and sang traditional French songs that guided our paddle stroke rhythm. We also learned how to make fire using flint sticks that we got to keep.”

We booked snowshoeing for a team build and Gemma was our guide. She was so knowledgeable and entertaining for the whole tour. We truly had an amazing team build that was full of laughter and a great adventure. We left more knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife around. I would highly suggest booking through Kananaskis Outfitters and will 100% book with them again. Make sure you request Gemma, she was truly the best.

Gemma took us on a beautiful, beginner level snowshoe tour with 2 lookout spots and gorgeous mountains in the backdrop of our photos. She was an engaging, hilarious and very hospitable host. Our team thoroughly enjoyed our snowshoe tour with her.

Kananaskis Outfitters gave an excellent, well-organized experience. The instructors were patient, safety-minded, and clear in teaching cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Gemma stood out for her warmth, encouragement, and effective instruction. Equipment and logistics were top-notch, with engaging routes and great scenery. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn these activities.

I loved the snowshoeing experience at Kananaskis Outfitters. We went as a group with kids, and they had a great time as well. The tour started on time, and our guide led us through a scenic loop while sharing interesting facts about the local nature and a bit of the area’s history. Along the way, we had time to stop, take photos, and really enjoy walking through deep snow. The hot chocolate and cookies were a lovely touch and much appreciated, especially by the kids. Overall, it was a fun, well-organized experience, and I would highly recommend Kananaskis Outfitters to families and groups looking for an enjoyable winter activity.

We had an amazing stargazing and snowshoeing tour last night. The experience was well organized and truly memorable. Our guide, Gemma, was a great guide, knowledgeable, professional, and clearly very committed to her work. She made the tour engaging and ensured everyone felt comfortable and included throughout. We would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable outdoor experience.

Had an awesome experience renting xc skis! They were very accommodating and I felt like it was reasonably priced. The equipment wasn’t the highest quality but for rentals it was great.

Where do I begin, from the moment we walked in the front door to the moment we left, Michelle and her staff were absolutely amazing and friendly. She showed us so much while snow shoeing through the forest. Got to learn so much about the history of the area. Towards the end she took us to a magnificent viewing area where photos could never do it justice. We stood around taking in the beauty while have cookies and hot chocolate that Michelle had prepared for us. If I could rate 10 stars I would. Keep up the great work Michelle and thankyou for showing us Aussies your backyard.

We had an amazing snowshoeing experience with Kananaskis Outfitters while visiting Alberta from Australia. The scenery was absolutely stunning and the whole experience was very well organised. Our guide Michelle was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable regardless of experience level. She shared interesting information about the area and kept the pace enjoyable and relaxed. The hot chocolate at the end was a lovely touch, especially after being out in the snow — such a thoughtful detail that really added to the experience. We had a great time and would highly recommend Kananaskis Outfitters to anyone looking to experience the Canadian winter in a fun and memorable way. Thanks for an unforgettable adventure!

Great time with our amazing tour guide Claire! Yes the weather was challenging but we made great memories and had a ton of fun all the while learning so much about the Kananaskis area!

Rented a couple of Fat Bikes and went winter biking. The team there were excellent and ensured we had everything we needed to have an enjoyable 3 hours. Nice ride up to Troll Falls.

Michelle, our tour guide and owner was great! She took us on a private star gazing hike. She is very knowledgeable of local flora and fauna in addition to star gazing info! We loved the stop in the alpine meadow while chatting about both the science and folklore of the sky. The hot chocolate was a nice touch! Such a unique and fun experience!

I rented a mountain bike. Gemma and Michelle were so extremely helpful and patient. Both provided excellent customer service. Of course the biking was amazing. Good quality bike allowing me to bike up all the hills and the bike was very well maintained We are camping at Mount Kidd and will continue to rent from them rather than driving to Canmore

Booked a bunch of activities for a corporate event with Kananaskis Outfitters. Everything went great. They even helped us out of a bind when one of our busses didn’t show up.

Outstanding Survival hike with Autumn! We were a group of 4 including an 11 and 14 year old. Autumn has incredible energy and enthusiasm. Wonderful experience.

(Translated by Google) An extremely positive experience. Michelle was extremely helpful during the booking process, providing us with clear information. We loved our guide, Autumn. Besides exuding a love for these mountains and her work, we also had a delightful conversation that helped ease the strain of the climb. Along the way, she made sure we took adequate breaks and got us to our destination on time (we had another activity in the afternoon, so we had to be punctual). We recommend this experience to everyone, especially those like us who are exploring these wonderful mountains for the first time. Well done! (Original) Esperienza estremamente positivo. Michelle è stata estremamente disponibile durante la fase di prenotazione, dandoci informazioni chiare. Abbiamo adorato la nostra guida, Autumn. Oltre a far trasparire l’amore per queste montagne e il suo lavoro, abbiamo avuto anche una piacevolissima conversazione che ha aiutato a sentire meno la fatica della salita. Durante il percorso si è assicurata di farci fare le giuste pause e di portarci alla meta nei tempi che avevamo richiesto (avendo un’altra attività il pomeriggio dovevamo essere puntuali). Consigliamo a tutti questa esperienza, soprattutto per chi come noi esplora queste meravigliose montagne per la prima volta. Bravi!

WOW! What an experience! I was a bit hesitant at first, as I hadn’t been on a bike in years, but the E-bike made it effortless and so much fun for all skill levels. The ride was filled with stunning lookouts around every corner—truly breathtaking views. I’d go again in a heartbeat! Booking with Kananaskis Outfitters was a breeze, and they set us up for a fantastic morning adventure.

Had such an amazing experience on the Full Moon Tour! Walking through the snow under the stars was absolutely beautiful, and the whole vibe was so peaceful. It was the perfect way to slow down, take in the mountains, and just enjoy the moment. Highly recommend!

We rented bikes, which were very good—high quality, clean, with excellent battery life and a smooth ride. However, the place was super busy and not very organized. All the staff were running around, making it hard to find help, likely due to the long weekend. My main concern is that after we returned the bikes, they checked everything outside and said all was good, but they kept my credit card details and mentioned needing to check more bikes. I’m not sure how they handle removing my credit card number, which is a bit concerning because we don’t know if there’s anything else wrong with the bikes, and we could be held responsible. Please share if any of you have heard similar stories.

My partner and I went nighttime snowshoeing with Kananaskis Outfitters about two years ago. Although a cloudy night, we had a wonderful time just being in the nature. I’d definitely do it again sometime.

My wife and I had an excellent experience for her birthday with Claude and Stacey at Kananaskis Outfitters. Great conditions and ideal temperatures. Even though the stargazing conditions were somewhat at risk, they turned out great! The conversations was amazing for all of the group and Claude and Stacey’s knowledge and explanations were top notch. I will be recommending to friends, family and clients.
