Plan Your Winter Vacation in Banff National Park
Plan the ultimate winter getaway in Banff National Park! From skiing and snowboarding to husky sledding and hot springs, discover the best activities to enjoy in Banff this winter.
It’s always fun to get away for a few days, and if the mountains have been calling your name, now’s the time to book your winter vacation in Banff National Park! While this townsite is known for its natural beauty in the spring-fall seasons, Banff offers just as much to see and do during the winter.
Whether you love winter sports like skiing and snowboarding or plan to spend hours relaxing in the upper hot springs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy both indoors and out. Here are a few reasons why you should visit Banff in the winter and how our team at Banff Adventures can help you fill your vacation roster with fun activities!
Why Visit Banff in Winter?
While the Rocky Mountains are a must-visit destination all year round, winter in Banff offers plenty to do for adrenaline junkies and slow-paced tourists alike! Banff has several world-class resorts for skiing and snowboarding in areas like Mt. Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise. You can spend your days on the slopes and evenings in a chalet-style hotel featuring quality restaurants and cozy accommodations - the perfect combination of activity and comfort!
Make sure to spend at least one day touring Banff’s townsite, where you’ll find souvenir shops, art galleries, museums, historic sites, and so much more. If you visit between January and March, you can enjoy events like SnowDays, the Banff Winter Carnival, and Nightrise at the Banff Gondola.
If this is your first time visiting Canada, you’ll want to try a few classic Canadian winter activities. Banff Adventures offers equipment rentals for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, skating, and other pastimes that will get the maple syrup flowing in your veins! There’s really no shortage of things to see and do in Banff all year round.
