Snow Days

January 14 to February 12

Get Ready, Get Set, Snow Days!

It is always a 'snow day' in Banff National Park

Banff National Park is the cool place to be this winter – in more ways than one! Celebrate the wonders of this exciting season with SnowDays, a fun-filled month of heart pumping, mid-week activities and weekend festivals jam-packed with adventures of all kinds.

Ninety-five years ago, Banff hosted its first Banff Winter Carnival, which saw enthusiastic participants hit the ice on the Bow River for some curling, and strap on their skis and snowshoes for fun in the snow. Nearly a century later, a full slate of festivals and activities bring those traditions to life: ice climbing, outdoor skating, hockey, ice carving, curling, snow sculptures, and more!

 

Experience Lake Louise's Sightseeing Gondola

For the entire month long Snow Days celebration, Lake Louise Ski Area will be offering a 2 for 1 offer special on Gondola foot passenger tickets. That's 2 tickets for only $21.26 +GST!

You can skate with the Ice Queen on Lake Louise, witness the 10-block ice carving event and spend time in the Cozy Corner Kids Indoor Activity Centre.  All kids activities are free!

It is always a 'snow day' in Banff National Park
