Overview

From the quaint mountainside town of Banff, to the snow-dusted peaks, misty falls, and dramatic canyons around Banff as you explore this rugged slice of Alberta with an experienced guide.

Starting your day with rolling by the steep slopes of Sulphur Mountain for the chance to take a gondola ride to the summit's sweeping viewpoints. (Banff Sulphur Gondola is optional)

Enjoy some leisure time in city centre Banff and Snap photos of Johnston Canyon's limestone-carving creek.

Fill your camera with misty shots of the tumbling rapids at Bow Falls, capture panoramic images of city centre Banff framed against a backdrop of craggy peaks from the Surprise Corner lookout, and keep your eyes peeled for the monolithic silhouette of glacier-carved Hoodoos.
