Everyone needs to experience the magic of Banff at least once in their life. Nestled amidst the majestic Canadian Rockies, Banff National Park is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. After my recent trip in February, I completely fell in love with this enchanting destination and created a 5-Day Banff Itinerary so you can fall in love too.
While Banff is famous for its epic hiking trails and iconic lakes during the summer, it transforms into a winter wonderland when the cooler months arrive. With snow-capped peaks, frozen lakes, and charming alpine lodges, the scenery is breathtaking.
As an Australian used to scorching heat, this was my first time experiencing so much snow, and I can’t imagine seeing Banff any other way. It felt like I stepped into a Christmas hallmark movie—just without the cheesy one-liners!
In this itinerary, you’ll find the best activities and top things to do in Banff during winter. From adrenaline-fueled adventures on the slopes to tranquil moments relaxing in thermal baths, there are so many amazing places to explore in Banff. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!
