Surrounded by breathtaking views of iconic peaks like Cascade Mountain and Mount Rundle, this is winter at its finest!
What makes this ride unforgettable?
Cozy up under warm wool blankets as you glide through stunning open meadows.
Spot local wildlife such as deer and elk on your serene winter adventure.
Warm up afterward with a hot drink by the campfire at the stables (weather permitting). Want to make it even sweeter? S’mores kits are available for that perfect winter treat!
The sleigh ride lasts approximately 40 minutes, offering wide-open views without venturing into forest trails. It’s the perfect activity to create cherished memories with friends and family!
In the event there is limited snow, a wagon ride will be substituted for the sleigh ride. The wagon will ride along the picturesque Cave and Spray Avenue, culminating at the iconic Banff Springs Hotel before returning to the barns. In addition, we are offering a variety of activities at the stables, including barn tours and opportunities for children to take pictures with our ponies or enjoy pony leads.
