The Town of Sundre is home to more than 50 kilometres of pathways, groomed trails and single-track trails. Approximately 25 kms of these trails are maintained in partnership with the Sundre Bike n Ski Club, for walking, trail riding, winter fat biking and cross country skiing. Seventeen of these kilometres are located on Snake Hill Nature Recreation Area, a natural landmark which is preserved for the continued enjoyment of residents and visitors. The trail ratings on the hill range from easy to challenging. Benches are provided for those who wish to rest awhile as they take in the panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
