7 Things To Do in Banff in Winter, Besides Skiing or Snowboarding
If you aren’t interested in skiing or snowboarding, it might seem like going to Banff in the winter is a flawed choice. Fortunately, there are plenty of reasons that Banff is a beautiful and fun place to visit year-round! At Banff Adventures, we have access to many different activities that we can help get you deals on. Take a look at just seven of the fun things you can experience in Banff this winter.
1. Dog Sledding
If you’re looking for things to do in Banff that are adventurous and unique, “mush” on this Dogsledding Tour through the Canadian Rockies. Fresh powder, adorable yet powerful dogs at your reins, racing among snow-tipped mountains—what could be better? This activity sells out fast, so be sure to grab your tickets now!
2. Snowshoeing
Strap your feet in because you are in for a good time with a Snowshoe Tour in Banff. This is just one of many things to do in Banff in the winter. With the Paint Pots Snowshoeing tour, you’ll get an introduction to snowshoeing and the Indigenous peoples of Banff and then experience the pleasure of creating maple taffy for yourself as a treat!
3. Snow Tubing
Just outside of the stunning town of Banff, there is a huge tubing park! Mt Norquay Tubing Park is the most fitting winter thing to do in Banff for families with kids ages four and up. Cherished memories await you and your family when you slide down the high-speed sliding lanes.
4. Ice Climbing
If you’re an adrenaline junkie looking for things to do in Banff this winter, look no further than ice climbing! Spend the day learning to tackle the frozen falls in one of the best places to learn: The Rockies. Whether you are more comfortable in group or private lessons, Banff Adventures can help you facilitate that adventure.
5. Snowmobiling
Speed, snow and sun all in one with Snowmobile Tours! Take an immersive tour through the mountains for either a half or full day, and see the many breathtaking views that the Rockies have to offer. With groomed trails and backcountry trails available for your fancy, we can help book your pass to whichever snowmobiling adventure you want.
6. Cave Tours
Does your idea of a good time include some casual spelunking? Explore the mountains of Banff from the inside by going on a cave tour this winter. Made for the physically fit, climb through the woods to the opening of the tunnel, where you will get to see stalagmite and stalactite formations underground. Rappelling options are available.
7. Helicopter Flights
Spend 25 to 45 minutes in a helicopter, looking over Banff and the surrounding area. Lush valleys, mountain tops, and a small town nestled in the Rockies could be yours to view at 7200 feet with a loved one. Take us up on this one-of-a-kind aerial tour of the mountains.
