Haven’t been to Canmore in a long time and I know there’s lots of trails around town. Wondering if there’s anything more around town than inside it.
Someone recommended going to the Nordic Centre as they have some groomed trails.

Oh my god don't walk on a x country ski trail. Those skinny dweebs will kill you. Like it's pretty much the worst offence out there now that people aren't covering their cars in honey and parking on the side of the highway all summer. Seriously though it's actually a fine this year if they catch you walking on a groomed trail. The nordic center has one snowshoe loop that I think you can walk on but it's only a couple boring kilometers.
This is a link to some trails close by...

Grassi lake is the go to close to canmore hike in the winter. Ha Ling, EEOR and Lady Mac are the spike required uphill walks. A great flat no special stuff required walk is crescent lake at the base of yamnuska. Just be super duper careful about parking at trail heads in the Bow Valley. So many break ins.
