Hot Chocolate Trail
This holiday season, embark on a flavourful adventure through town, sampling an array of hot chocolates that range from traditional classics to creatively spirited concoctions. Banff and Lake Louise’s Hot Chocolate Trail is a treasure map of more than 30 restaurants and cafes each offering a limited-time festive-themed hot chocolate.
To support sustainability, we encourage you to enjoy your hot chocolate in a cozy mug when dining in. If you’re on the go, bring your own reusable mug or borrowing one through the Banff Borrows program.
