Day 4 to 8 Accommodation

Banff, Canada

Head to Banff National Park for an ice walk tour, passing mighty waterfalls transformed into pillars of ice thanks to the sub-zero temperatures. The most popular ice walk is the narrow gorge of Johnston Canyon, where steel walkways give an airy view of the canyon below.

The following day, prepare for a full day of outdoor fun with a guided snowmobiling tour up to Paradise Basin in Panorama, BC. Witness spectacular snow-covered mountain scenery by following trails through lush forests, stopping for a delicious mountainside barbecue lunch, before visiting the remnants of an early 1900’s silver mining town.

Your final day in the area will be spent breathing-in the crisp Canadian mountain air at three extraordinary Banff ski resorts. Ski Sunshine Village, The Lake Louise Mountain Resort and Banff Mount Norquay, with your Ski Big 3 tri-area lift tickets. On your last day, you will fly back to the UK.
