Experience Lake Louise and Johnston Canyon from a completely different perspective during this guided winter sightseeing tour from Banff!

Lake Louise and Johnston Canyon are some of the most popular destinations in Banff National Park, regardless of the season. However, during winter, there is nothing more magical than ice skating across Lake Louise and hiking in a real winter wonderland at Johnston Canyon – combine the two activities together and you have a winter’s day adventure that will never be forgotten!

To begin the tour, you will be picked up at your hotel in Banff and driven to Lake Louise where you will have the chance to glide and spin across its frozen waters on ice skates and bask in the majestic view of mountains and glaciers beyond. You will also have the option of snowshoeing or hiking along the lakeside trails, or perhaps even just enjoying a drink at the Fairmont Château! But the adventure doesn’t end there!

After your time at Lake Louise, the tour will then head towards Johnston Canyon via the Bow Valley Parkway, an area known for its wildlife sightings including bear, elk, wolves, and more! Once you arrive at Johnston Canyon you will be equipped with ice cleats and crampons and led across snow covered trails to the glorious and crystalline Lower Falls, with the option of continuing onwards to the magnificent Upper Falls. Finally, on the way back to Banff, your guide will make a stop at a secret location that will be chosen to cap off your full day of adventure touring with a bang! You can expect increased chances of wildlife sightings and even more incredible views that most visitors miss out on!
