Bellevue (/ˈbɛlvjuː/) is an urban community perched at 4,280 feet (1,305 m) elevation in the Rocky Mountains within the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass in southwest Alberta, Canada. It was formerly incorporated as a village prior to 1979 when it amalgamated with four other municipalities to form Crowsnest Pass.
Unlike some of the other communities in Crowsnest Pass, which relied on a single coal mine, Bellevue benefitted from the proximity of several successful mines and persists today despite setbacks from fire, strikes, mine accidents and fluctuations in the coal market.
