Banff to Lake Louise Snow Adventure Tour

Winter weather in the Canadian Rockies can be among the coldest in North America, but you can comfortably enjoy the outdoors if you’re properly dressed. In order to snowshoe or hike in the snow, you must wear warm winter boots (preferably waterproof) and waterproof breathable pants, jacket and gloves. Your clothing should be warm enough to allow you to comfortably remain outside in below-freezing conditions for two to four hours at a time. Layers are encouraged for when we snowshoe.

You can’t have a winter wonderland without some winter weather. From December through March, when our trips run, snow and below-freezing temperatures are likely, and even rain is possible. Please know that if we encounter severe weather during the trip that affects our planned activities, your Trip Leaders will find alternative activities that you’re sure to enjoy.

This trip includes the historic Emerald Lake Lodge, where guest rooms are simpler than the typical Backroads lodging. The hotel is outside of cell phone range, and Wi-Fi is limited to the hotel lobby. We've chosen this property because of its proximity to our favorite routes and the fantastic views.
