Winter Wonders Await

Begin your week in Banff National Park with a classic winter experience in Lake Louise. Start by lacing up your skates and gliding across the iconic frozen lake, surrounded by towering peaks and crisp alpine air, it’s a moment you’ll never forget.

Afterwards, step into the warmth of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise for their afternoon tea. Settle in with steaming tea, delicate pastries, and views that make you slow down and stay a while.

Start your day with breakfast at Farm & Fire - where local ingredients meet cozy, mountain-inspired flavours. Then head up Sulphur Mountain aboard the Banff Gondola. At the top, take a peaceful walk along the boardwalk to Sanson Peak, where the 360-degree views will make you feel on top of the world. After, settle in at Sky Bistro for a lunch that tastes as good as the scenery looks.

As the day winds down, soak it all in - literally, at the Banff Upper Hot Springs. Surrounded by steam and snow-capped peaks, it’s the perfect way to end a day in the mountains.

Kick off your morning with a hearty breakfast at Tooloulou's, a local favourite. After you’re fueled up, make your way to Sunshine Village for a day of skiing or snowboarding on some of the best slopes in the Canadian Rockies. From powdery runs to breathtaking views, it’s the kind of day that stays with you long after the lifts stop.

Wrap up the adventure with something truly special: a 360° Dome Dining experience at the Fairmont Banff Springs. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, indulge in a meal that feels as elevated as the setting, truly unforgettable.

Grab a quick breakfast from Whitebark and then set out on a guided snowshoeing tour. Your guide will lead you through snow-covered forests along untouched trails, giving you a chance to truly connect with the magic of the winter.

After your snowy adventure, treat yourself to something warm and indulgent at Bluebird - savour a classic cheese fondue experience, with rich, melted cheese perfect for dipping, all served in a cozy, mountain-inspired setting.

Finish your day with a walk down Banff Avenue, where the charming shops and cozy cafés invite you to browse, unwind, and soak in the town’s festive spirit.

For you last day, double up on adventure with a dogsledding and helicopter experience in the stunning Spray Lakes area. Dash through snowy trails behind a team of eager huskies, then lift off for a bird’s-eye view of the rugged wilderness. It’s a day packed with awe from every angle.

Back in Banff, head to Park Distillery, the first distillery inside a Canadian national park, for a behind-the-scenes tour and gin-making experience. Then stay for dinner, where campfire-inspired dishes and wood-fired rotisserie specialties bring the flavour of the mountains to your table.
