Coliseum Mountain

Coliseum is Nordegg’s most imposing feature. Serving as the town’s backdrop, it offers quick and easy access to year round family friendly activity.

An old pack trail weaves through forested slopes & along the ridgeline gradually revealing sweeping vistas of Abraham Lake, the Ram Range, and the vast wilderness of The Bighorn. At the summit, hikers are rewarded with a true mountain-top experience—wide-open skies, panoramic views, and a sense of awe.

For mountain bikers, the Nordegg Trail Society’s newly developed Westview Switchback and Westview Downhill trails offer thrilling descents and flowing rides through variable terrain. The Westview Panoramic Lounge, complete with handcrafted log benches, is the perfect spot to pause, soak in the scenery, and reconnect with nature.

Whether you’re chasing a summit, enjoying a quiet afternoon with the family, or seeking a heart-pumping bike descent, Coliseum Mountain is the iconic Nordegg experience that delivers adventure with every step—or pedal.
