Things to do at Solara Resort Canmore

Luxuriating in your well-designed suite has a host of benefits. For those looking to relax in the peace of your suite, make a rich cup of hot coffee in the morning or select something good to eat from online menus. It can be brought to your room or suite.

Whether you stay onsite throughout the day or have some planned activities away from the resort, rest assured that Solara will provide relaxing and entertaining activities around the resort.

Onsite Relaxation

If your day has included shopping at local venues, hiking a nearby trail, or taking in the scenery while skiing, relax with a refreshing dip in the resort's pool. You may also choose to unwind tired and tense muscles by spending time in the hot tub.

For an even more relaxing experience, visit One Wellness - Recovery Zone. Guests have access to an assortment of choices, including an aromatherapy steam room, cedar saunas, access to compression therapy, and mobility vibration therapy. 

You can also stay on top of your exercise routine while vacationing at the gym. Or, check out the polar plunge and take advantage of the health benefits of ice baths.

Food for Fuel

For the outdoor enthusiast, fuel up before heading out by visiting the Solara Resort lobby to choose an assortment of food items from the Take A Hike Market. Peruse the market's items, such as Canadian cheese, artisan products, premade charcuterie boards, and assorted grocery items. The market is open daily starting at 7:30 a.m.

These local and sustainable food options are great to take with you if planning an extended day on the trails. Plus, you can order online from the cafe and choose handcrafted beverages and made-to-order items.

Solara Resort and Pets

For guests travelling with pets, Solara has no problem with furry friends sharing vacation time with their human companions. Select one of the resort's pet-friendly suites where your dog or cat can enjoy luxury living.

A day out and about in Canmore with your canine companion is a great way to see the sites, explore the area, and absorb the friendly atmosphere. There are several dog parks where your pup can run and play. Elk Run Off Leash Dog Park has views of the Three Sisters Mountains. You can also check out Quarry Lake Park, which features a small rocky beach, grassy areas, a serene lake, and panoramic views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Another option is Banff National Park, just 20 minutes from Canmore, where on-leash canines are welcome in public areas and on the park's scenic trails.
