Ice Skating in Banff

Shouts of laughter and the unmistakable sound of skates on ice represent the joyful excitement that's always present at the local rinks in Banff. From cautious first-timers to pint-sized local pros, skaters of every age and ability. Hesitation disappears rapidly as everyone on the ice is drawn into a game of good old-fashioned hockey, sharing in the delights of a winter pastime beloved by all.

Skating is available in the winter months at the Banff Recreation Grounds Outdoor Ice Rink and the Fenlands Recreation Centre indoor rinks and outdoor skating pathway.
