Our Top 5 Things to Do in Banff

  • Banff Sleigh Rides40-minute horse-drawn sleigh ride around the mountain meadows just outside Banff's townsite. Fun for all ages!
  • Snow Tubing: is a family favourite activity! Not interested in skiing and snowboarding? Snow tubing is an excellent alternative to hitting the slopes with your kids.
  • Banff Gondola: Soar 7,500ft above sea level in Banff's iconic gondola to the peak of Sulphur Mountain, and enjoy the 360° view of the Rocky Mountain range below.
  • Snowmobile Tours: Zip through the mountains' deep snow, fly past glittering frozen lakes, and explore the Great Canadian Rockies on the back of a snowmobile.
  • Heli-skiing: is terrific for thrillseekers, families with older children, or a group of friends looking to take their skiing to another level. 

Winter Equipment Rentals

No equipment? No problem! Banff Adventures stocks a fleet of winter equipment rentals, including skates, snowshoes, ice cleats, cross-country ski packages, and even winter boots! Renting a pair of ice cleats is strongly recommended for any outdoor activities to keep you safe in icy conditions.

We encourage booking your rentals online ahead of time to ensure you get the size and day you want to go off adventuring! If you need to purchase the right winter accessories like a warm hat, mittens and a scarf, you can pick them up right away from nearly any store in town.

Beat the Crowds

Visiting Banff National Park in the winter is a fantastic choice because of the massive amount of activities and because Banff's townsite is much quieter. We see a lot of one-day visitors in the summer months, and the winter brings visitors who stay for a few weeks and experience Banff like a local.

Banff is a destination in the winter, especially for international visitors from sunnier horizons like Australia and New Zealand. If you're interested in a wintery international adventure, look no further than Banff, Alberta. You'll experience some of the best skiing, snowboarding, and sightseeing adventures found on this side of the globe.
