Here are a few of our top activities that you can mark off your bucket list, along with a few events from the town of Banff you don’t want to miss!
Experience the Beauty of Lake Louise
Skating on Lake Louise is a bucket list item for tons of travellers coming to Canada for the first time, and on our Lake Louise Winterland Tour, you can do that and more! You’ll get a full tour of the lake with an interpretive guide, including a snowshoe rental and complimentary snacks!
After a day of gliding on the clear ice and trekking through fresh powder, head over to the Fairmont Chateau for maple taffy and cocktails at The Sugar Shack! If you want an elevated dining experience, stay for dinner in their heated 360 domes.
Nightrise at the Banff Gondola
Ride up the Banff Gondola and experience a 360 panoramic view of the Alberta Rockies! We offer several tours and packages for the Banff Gondola, which is situated atop Sulphur Mountain.
After spending a day walking on the elevated trails and touring the visitors' centre, make a stop at Nightrise, an after-dark multi-media experience that runs until March. This event includes immersive elements, video projections, and audio engineering to highlight the beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
Try the Tasting Menu at the Sky Bistro
Another fun stop on your Banff Gondola tour! The Sky Bistro is one of the main restaurants located in the Banff Gondola Visitor’s Centre. Until May 2025, they’ll be offering the Chef’s Tasting Menu, a 5-course dining experience featuring their signature dishes along with a few surprise culinary delights!
Enjoy Views of the Town on the Winter Wonder Tour
The Banff Townsite is a beautiful, historical landmark filled with plenty of shops, cafes, and storefronts. On our Winter Wonder Tour, you’ll get to enjoy a scenic view of the town, the Fairmont Hotel, and several natural wonders from Lake Minnewanka to the Bow Falls Viewpoint.
