In the embrace of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore isn’t just another spot on the map—it’s where sport intertwines with nature’s grandeur. Picture it: Each swing of your club is matched with a panoramic display of sky-kissing peaks and verdant valleys. And at the heart of it all? The Silvertip Golf Course.

Silvertip Golf Course: A Skyward Sonata in the Rockies

Imagine teeing off where the horizon is stitched with the rugged tapestry of the Rockies. The Silvertip Golf Course, often likened to playing amidst celestial heights, is such a place. Masterfully sculpted by Les Furber, this par-72 marvel unfurls across an elevation change of 600 feet, ensuring your golfing skills are as much on display as the landscape.

With every fairway you traverse, the course unveils over 600 acres of nature’s finest artistry: crystalline ponds reflecting azure skies, woods standing in hushed reverence, and expanses of green that could rival any painter’s palette.

Beyond the game, Silvertip tempts visitors with its culinary craft. Rustica Steakhouse and Trader’s Lounge beckon with a promise of gourmet experiences, perfectly complementing a day spent amidst nature’s magnificence.

A delightful stay at A Bear and Bison

My spouse and I recently enjoyed a delightful stay at A Bear and Bison Lodge, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the warm hospitality and overall ambiance. The lodge itself is beautiful, possessing an old-world charm that’s both inviting and relaxing. The amenities were excellent, and we especially enjoyed the stunning views of the Three Sisters mountain peaks.

A true highlight of our stay was the exceptional vegan breakfast (we requested Vegan breakfast). The chef’s skill in preparing a diverse and delicious array of vegan dishes was truly remarkable. Every morning, we looked forward to starting our day with such a satisfying and flavorful meal.

The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit, always ready to assist with a smile. We want to give a special shout-out to Brooke at the front desk. Her exceptional hospitality skills and warm demeanor truly made our stay memorable. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel welcome from check-in to check-out, which were both seamless and efficient.

If you’re looking for a charming and welcoming lodge with exceptional service, stunning views, and delicious breakfast options, look no further than A Bear and Bison Lodge. We can’t wait to return!
