Discover the best winter sports and activities in Banff with Banff Adventures! From skiing and snowboarding to ice skating and ice climbing, we offer top-quality equipment rentals to ensure you make the most of the stunning Canadian Rockies this winter.
Winter sports are a staple in the Canadian Rockies. At Banff Adventures, we offer equipment rentals to help you enjoy these activities throughout your stay in our National Park. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie looking to tackle the slopes or prefer more easy-going activities like snowshoeing, we have all the gear you need to make the most of our gorgeous winter landscape! Here are a few winter sports and activities you’ll want to try in Banff.
Shred Some Powder on the Rocky Mountains
You don’t need to go to the Alps for deep powder and breathtaking mountain ranges! Banff boasts some of the best mountain ranges for skiing and snowboarding at Mt. Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise. If you need a Banff ski rental or snowboard, we have plenty in our rental stock for you to hit the slopes. If you’re new to both sports, switching from one to the other, or simply need to refresh your skills, we also offer skiing and snowboarding lessons with expert instructors!
Explore Banff’s Trails on Foot
Banff boasts plenty of trails and paths you can explore on foot! During the winter, trails like the Johnston Canyon are open for exploration. We also offer an Icewalk tour that takes you through the upper and lower parts of the canyon. We provide cleats for rental on our tours, and if you’d like to stray off the beaten path and explore other trails like the Spray River Loop, we offer cross-country skis and snowshoe rentals ideal for trekking icy and snowy terrain!
Glide Across Lake Louise
Lake Louise is famous all over the world for its crystal clear waters, and plenty of international travellers consider it the highlight of their visit to Banff! During the winter, you can rent a pair of skates for a day of gliding on the ice. If you’d like a friendly game of hockey, we have sticks and helmets available for rent and hockey pucks available for purchase.
Get a Thrill with Ice Climbing
If you’re looking for a real heart-pumping adventure, you can get an adrenaline rush by ice climbing! We offer climbing in Grassi Lakes, King Creek, Johnston Canyon, and Haffner Creek. Once you get to the top, you’ll get to enjoy some of the best views around!
You’ll want to be as bundled up as possible, including warm winter clothing and outerwear. If you’re coming to Banff from out of the country and don’t have winter boots, don’t worry- you can rent them from Banff Adventures!
