Discover the Magic of Winter with a Scenic Sleigh Ride! 

Experience the beauty of the Canadian Rockies like never before on a magical winter sleigh ride through Banff’s snowy meadows! Sit back, relax, and breathe in the crisp mountain air while your expert cowboy guide leads the way. Surrounded by breathtaking views of iconic peaks like Cascade Mountain and Mount Rundle, this is winter at its finest!

What makes this ride unforgettable?

Cozy up under warm wool blankets as you glide through stunning open meadows.

Spot local wildlife such as deer and elk on your serene winter adventure.

Warm up afterward with a hot drink by the campfire at the stables (weather permitting). Want to make it even sweeter? S’mores kits are available for that perfect winter treat!

The sleigh ride lasts approximately 40 minutes, offering wide-open views without venturing into forest trails. It’s the perfect activity to create cherished memories with friends and family!

In the event there is limited snow, a wagon ride will be substituted for the sleigh ride. The wagon will  ride along the picturesque Cave and Spray Avenue, culminating at the iconic Banff Springs Hotel before returning to the barns. In addition, we are offering a variety of activities at the stables, including barn tours and opportunities for children to take pictures with our ponies or enjoy pony leads.

For those wanting a private experience, check out our Private Sleigh Ride for Two or Private Family Adventure. Experience the classical romance of Banff’s winter wonderland on a magical sleigh ride package for two. Relax and take in the breathtaking views and sparkling winter air of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This private and romantic ride is taken on a 2 passenger cutter - a true one horse open sleigh! A magical ride perfect for a romantic date, engagement or a special treat.

Or climb aboard your private family sleigh ride with a friendly cowboy guide. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as this horse-drawn sleigh will take you through Banff’s Bow River Valley, with mountain views including Mount Rundle and Cascade Mountain. Seating up to four people, it’s the perfect winter outing for the whole family.
