Unleash your inner child to relish the pure joy of winter at the Banff and Lake Louise SnowDays celebration.
From January 20-31, the streets of downtown Banff will be transformed into larger-than-life winter galleries by our SnowDays Snow Sculptures. While you’re admiring the exhibition, stop off at one of 16 restaurants and cafes on the Hot Chocolate Trail to take away a limited time treat.
How will you indulge your sense of adventure on your SnowDays holiday? Our three world-class ski resorts are waiting to welcome you, fluffy pow at the ready. The cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails of the park are more picturesque than ever, and Banff’s two outdoor rinks invite you to skate and play in the quintessential Canadian experience.
Continue your SnowDays adventure with an unforgettable dog-sled or horse drawn sleigh ride through a snow-covered valley or feel the exhilaration as you whizz down the slopes at the Norquay Tube Park. Find your best day ever in Banff and Lake Louise, where SnowDays celebrates snowy adventures in the glittering mountain landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
