Those are indeed larch trees, though I believe not exactly the same species as the one you see in Canada. Here in Switzerland, you have to go to around 1800m (around 6000 feet) to see them. So I usually have to walk quite a bit before I can watch them closely. Engadin is something special though, as the bottom of the valley is already around 1800m. It is the first time I go there in Autumn and the show is fantastic, with the little bit of snow that fell last week.
It certainly looks a bit like your backyard as far as I can remember (on my only trip to Canmore, I was 7). The biggest difference is that there are villages everywhere here. I remember driving a whole day just to find one house in British Columbia.
