What Shall We Do Today?Banff Lake Louise Alberta Activities
We encourage our guests to explore our incredible National Park environment. For guests wishing to explore the park on foot there are literally hundreds of fabulous trails each of which has a unique experience. Our staff, managers, and owners have hiked most of these trails and would love to make a recommendation to you.
For the visitor who has a limited time frame to explore the park, you may wish to view the park using some rather unique exploration vehicles. While staying with us you can choose from helicopters, snow coaches, gondolas, jet boats, ATV’s, canoes, river rafts and other forms of transportation. All these activities combine a unique experience with a learning experience based on the unique World Heritage Site you are visiting. Again, our reservation and front desk staff will be happy to make a reservation for you and prepare a daily itinerary.
Just ask us and we will endeavor to provide you with an experience you will find truly memorable!
