Banff Guided Walking Tours

From a Banff, Canmore, Kananaskis Country or Lake Louise day hike to a multi-day helicopter-assisted backcountry trip at Mt. Assiniboine, there's a hiking adventure in the Rocky Mountains that is perfect for all fitness levels. White Mountain Adventures specializes in guided hiking trips and walks in the Canadian Rockies and Western Canada. Since 1987 they have been leading trips and adventures which focus on nature and ecology and on gaining a better understanding of natural surroundings.

If roaring waterfalls, emerald lakes, alpine meadows and snowcapped peaks are on the list of things to do, then a sightseeing tour with SunDog is a must. Their sightseeing tours take guests to the most exceptional locations for photos, wildlife viewing and nature walks. Learn about the fascinating natural and human history of Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Embark on a Lake Minnewanka Cruise, visit the Columbia Icefields or experience a spectacular canyon ice walk.

Take a self-guided walking tour by beginning at the Banff Visitor Centre located in the middle of town. A free map is available here that guides visitors along a route that passes 42 heritage residences, museums, churches and cemetery that date back to 1887. The route takes about an hour and a half with historical sites indicated by blue plaques.

Enjoy interpretive guided nature walks through Banff's natural areas such as around Vermillion Lake. Pre-registration is available at the The Bear and Butterfly Shop, or at the gift shop within the Banff Visitor Centre. The Friends of the Banff National Park is an organization that operates the Park Radio 101.1 FM, wildlife educational programs, and two retail stores.
