Take the ultimate Canadian day hike in Banff National Park at Sunshine Meadows high in the Rocky Mountains!

Known as the most incredible alpine setting in the Canadian Rockies, the Sunshine Meadows is a natural garden at an average elevation of 2,220 m (7,300'). The meadows straddle the Continental Divide and the Alberta-British Columbia border, offering unobstructed views of some of the highest peaks in the Rockies. It's a great way to spend a day hiking in the wilderness!

The Sunshines Meadows offer a different and beautiful landscape in every season: flowering meadows in the summer, flamboyant larch forests in the fall, as well as abundant snow in the winter where you can enjoy a snowshoeing trip! The local guides at White Mountain Adventures invite you to enjoy a day hike at the Sunshine Meadows, with a shuttle departure from Banff. You will spend an unforgettable moment of discovery and sharing, whether with family or friends, as this hike is suitable for everyone from 8 years old.

If you are in Calgary or its surroundings and want to enjoy a day in the great outdoors, this excursion to the Sunshine Meadows with a gondola ride from Sunshine Village will give you a great time!
