February has swooped in with a blast of warm Chinook air, and just like that we are only a few days away from the “most loved” holiday of the entire year – Valentine’s Day! In downtown Canmore, there are an abundance of ways you can celebrate this coveted love holiday, no matter your style. Not only are you able to shower your loved one in a romantic Rocky Mountain getaway, but you can also indulge in sips and snacks from local restaurants, chocolates fit for a queen, trinkets to fit every home, and all the while you’ll be supporting local small businesses and Alberta artisans. There is no better way to make someone’s day than exploring downtown Canmore!
The best way to your lover’s heart? Decadent chocolate from Jacek, paired with some lovely candles, wine glasses, and a cozy blanket to snuggle up under together, from Stonewaters. There is no better way to create the ultimate Hygge Valentine’s Day celebration than a candlelit bubble bath, red wine, and scrumptious chocolate from Canmore’s own chocolatier. After you’re bubbly, you two can cozy up and lounge under your soft and warm new blanket by the fireplace as you wait for dinner time to come around. Plus, if you want to add a little something extra, you can stop by the lovely Cupid’s Corner so you can both slip into something a little more “comfortable” for the remainder of the evening.
There are so many incredible dining options for two lovers exploring downtown Canmore this Valentine’s Day; Four Two Nine Six, Murietta’s, Where the Buffalo Roam, and Sauvage Canmore. Reservations are definitely necessary, as these cozy and chic locations are bound to be busy! There are plenty of other options if none of these suit your fancy, but be sure to give the downtown restaurant of your choosing a ring to reserve a spot or place a take out order. After all, the most intimate dining experience is one where it’s just the two of you, with no interruptions.
Another great option for gift-giving this Valentine’s day is the gift of health. Purchase your loved one a punch pass for one of the amazing yoga studios downtown, paired with soaps and skincare from Rocky Mountain Soap Co, as well as a massage from either Wildflower or Etana Wellness should do the trick to give your lover a little bit of bliss. If you wanted to add a little something extra, a gift from Alberta’s Own Marketplace or Indigo Bay is a great choice to add something tangible.
Of course, the adventure seekers are not to be left out when it comes to Valentine’s Day gift-giving! This VDay, treat your partner to an exhilarating ride through the mountains with Snowy Owl Dogsled Tours. Not only is this a great way to explore the Rockies in comfort, it is perhaps one of the best places to bend down to *ahem* “tie your shoe” if you know what we mean. On their incredible two-day excursion, you and your partner will be whisked off into the depths of the Rockies, where you’ll be treated to 2 full days of dogsledding, meals, snacks, beverages, and a tented sleeping experience fit for a king with sleeping bags, buffalo hides, and sheepskins.
Whatever your fancy, there are plenty of options right here in Downtown Canmore to woo your boo this Valentine’s day in the Canadian Rockies.
