Discover Banff on two wheels with Banff Adventures. Rent bikes or e-bikes, explore scenic trails, and enjoy activity packages for the ultimate Rockies adventure.
Fresh air, alpine views, wide open trails…welcome to the joy of the Alberta Rockies and Canada’s biggest backyard! If you’re someone who loves to explore and stay active while on vacation, bike tours are a great way to kick things up a notch!
At Banff Adventures, we love helping people create their perfect time in the mountains with bike and e-bike rentals, curated trail suggestions, and activity packages designed to get you out there and exploring like never before.
Whether you’re here for a long weekend or planning the ultimate outdoor getaway, here’s how to build an active Banff vacation that starts on two wheels.
Why Explore Banff by Bike?
Biking is a fantastic way to cover more ground, take in more scenery, and enjoy the mountains in a way that helps you feel even more connected to the world around you. Whether you put your full pedal to the metal on a traditional bike or get a zippy assist from one of our e-bikes, Banff is loaded with scenic, bike-friendly routes that wind through forests, hug lakeshores, and offer jaw-dropping views.
With plenty of paved and gravel trails, this is one of the most beginner-friendly and family-friendly ways to explore the Rockies! Best of all, there’s no need to bring your own gear—Banff Adventures offers bike and e-bike rentals along with helmets and all the gear you’ll need so you can hit the trail without missing a beat!
Choose Your Ride: Bike vs. E-Bike
We offer both standard bikes and e-bikes, making it easy to choose an adventure that’s perfect for your comfort and experience level.
- Standard Bikes are perfect for those who want to get a bit of a workout while cruising the trails.
- E-Bikes give you a boost when you need it, making them great for longer distances or anyone who wants to enjoy the ride without worrying about getting tired along the way.
Banff Adventures maintains a steady inventory of high-quality mountain bikes and e-bikes at our downtown Banff location so you can explore whenever you want!
