Sleigh, Soar & Soak in Banff, Alberta

Rest and recharge in Banff's luxurious Upper Hot Springs, ride the Banff Gondola, share a kiss on the peak of Sulphur Mountain, and snuggle up in the horse-drawn sleigh with your loved one. Banff Adventures' Sleigh, Soar & Soak package is the ultimate package for two. 

This activity package includes:

• Banff Sleigh Ride
• Banff Gondola Pass
• Banff Upper Hot Springs Pass

The best part about purchasing an activity package from Banff Adventures is that all activities can be taken on separate days. So whether you can only sneak away for a day or stay for an entire weekend, this package is flexible to your schedule. 

The Banff Gondola pass, and Hot Springs admission must be booked for specific dates and times when booking your package. They do not need to be on the same day, but you must book beforehand. The Banff Sleigh Rides run daily from 11am to 3pm, and are also available at 10am, 4pm, 5pm and 6pm during weekends and holidays.

Please note: This package is subject to peak pricing from December 21, 2023, to December 3, 2024. The costs are per person, and taxes are not included.

Snuggling on the Sleigh Rides

Enjoy the crisp air on this 40-minute horse-drawn sleigh ride through the mountain meadows just outside the Banff townsite. Snuggle up with your sweetie under a blanket and take in the sights and sounds of the Canadian Rockies. 

After the ride, warm up by the fireside and enjoy a hot cup of apple cider. The Banff Sleigh Ride is a lovely mid-day respite. 

Soar to New Heights

The iconic Banff Gondola has drawn visitors to Banff National Park for 65 years, and the view is still spectacular. Enjoy a birds-eye view of the Canadian Rockies and soar 7,500ft above sea level, up to the peak of Sulphur Mountain. 

There is much to do in the Summit Building at the top of the mountain. Stop for a coffee at the café, visit the interpretive centre and theatre, and memorialize your trip with a keepsake from the gift shop. 

Mountain Top Dining

If you're looking for a romantic and memorable meal, be sure to book a reservation at the Sky Bistro, Banff's world-class mountain-top restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling windows give visitors a striking view of the Rocky Mountains and Banff's townsite below. There isn't a bad seat in the house.

Experience the Banff Gondola After Dark

The view from the Banff Gondola is incredible during the day but comes to life in a completely different way after the sun sets. Until March 31, 2024, visitors can experience the Banff Gondola after dark with the unique after-hours Nightrise event. You do not want to miss this!

Soak in Natural Hot Springs

Travellers have visited Banff's Upper Hot Springs for over a century to "take the waters," and for a good reason. All the stress in your body will melt away while you luxuriate in the soothing mineral waters of the Hot Springs.

Located on the side of Sulphur Mountain, Banff's famous outdoor hot springs are the perfect stop to warm up after your Gondola ride. It's a quintessentially Canadian experience to soak in 37-40°C water in an outdoor hot spring when it's -20 °C outside. Nothing beats it!
