When the snow flies in Banff National Park, the real fun begins. Cross-country skiers skim across the trails with a warm rosy glow in their cheeks, laughing children run back to the top of the tobogganing hill for another thrilling descent, and couples snuggle under the blankets on horse-drawn sleighs.
Climb onto a dog sled for a breathtaking blast through the forest trails pulled by Alaskan huskies, or strap on snowshoes and look for wildlife tracks like the original settlers of the area. Outside the park, helicopters will take you for a rare alpine experience; a “whirly” bird’s-eye view of the peaks. Snowmobile tours allow you to explore the forest on hundreds of trails and during the shuttle ride you’ll learn even more about the park from the on-board guide.
