4 Affordable Activities In Banff with Our Winter Rentals
Banff is a hot spot during the summer, but this vibrant mountain town offers plenty to do in the winter! If you’re travelling on a budget, there are plenty of excursions and activities in Banff that don’t have to cost a fortune - all you need is some equipment. Whether you’re drawn to hiking our famous trails or playing winter sports, there’s something for everyone.
At Banff Adventures, we provide winter rentals for travellers who want to get the most out of our snowy landscape. From calmly trekking across Banff’s terrain to action-packed snowboarding or skiing, we have everything you need for a safe and fun winter day! Here are four affordable activities you can enjoy courtesy of Banff Adventures.
Hike In Winter Terrain
Banff boasts several mountain ranges that are a must-see for travellers and locals alike. Whether you’re planning to hike Sulphur Mountain or discover Johnston Canyon, it can be difficult if you’re not prepared. Winter hiking presents the possibility of falling or slipping on patches of ice. To make sure you stay upright and get the most out of the scenery, you can rent ice cleats and winter boots, which are ideal for safely trekking mountain terrain.
Our ice cleats are easily attachable and can be paired with a variety of boot types and brands. The sharp spikes are perfect for gripping and climbing icy trails and pathways, allowing you to complete your hike with ease! If you don’t trust your current pair of boots to make the trip up and down the mountain, you can match our cleats with our boot rentals, ideal for Banff’s cold temperatures. We offer all sizes for adults and children, so if you have the whole family on vacation, you can fit everyone with winter boots!
Our cleats and boots are available at the following prices:
- Ice Cleats: $18 per day
- Winter boots: $10 per day
Participate in Canada’s National Pastime
Calling all hockey fans! Enjoy our country’s national pastime with high-quality hockey equipment from Banff Adventures. Whether you plan to face off with friends at a local rink or toss the puck along Lake Louise, our equipment is up to the task.
Don’t forget to protect your head from falls and pucks flying off the ice- our helmets are an affordable option for maintaining safety while playing hockey or skating. If you simply want to skate without playing hockey, we rent all our equipment separately. Our hockey sticks, skates, and helmets are available at the following prices:
- Hockey Sticks: $10 per day
- Helmet: $7 per day
- Skates: $18 per day
Note: Hockey pucks are available for purchase.

If you want to enjoy the heavy Alberta powder across these trails, we include cross-country skis and snowshoes in our rental lineup. There are several paths specifically for cross-country skis in Banff that make it easier for experts and first-time skiers alike to get around.
Our cross-country skis and snowshoes are available at the following prices:
