Banff
Fall in love with Banff, the heart of Canada’s National Parks system.
Banff Gondola
Your enclosed gondola cabin will bring you up, up, up toward snow-capped peaks. At the summit, hold onto your toque! It can get windy, but the sparkling views are spectacular. Warm up in the interpretive centre and see a film about the Rockies, then try the locally inspired menu at Sky Bistro.
Winter Walk to Bow Falls
This serene walk starts in town and follows an easy path along the Bow River. (Grab a coffee or hot chocolate for the journey.) If the river hasn’t yet frozen, follow the sound of rushing water. The frosty mist and ice formations around the falls are captivating.
Banff Trail Riders Sleigh Ride
Snuggle into a cozy blanket and let your team of horses pull your sleigh through a Banff alpine meadow. Towering evergreens and fresh snow make a serene backdrop for this quintessential mountain experience. Back at the stables, enjoy a steaming mug of apple cider by the fire.
Dinner at Farm & Fire
Tuck into a wood-fired meal made with locally raised ingredients tonight. Farm & Fire grills up creative pizzas and exceptional steak. Plus, they have lots of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Request a table near one of their fireplaces to amp up the coziness.
TIP FROM A LOCAL
Hit the local shops along Banff Ave if you’re looking for a special souvenir.
