- Thank you for watching the ULTIMATE WINTER TRAVEL GUIDE to Banff National Park. This video explores how to get here, how to get around, where to stay, where to eat and what there is to do in my favorite National Park.
Traveling to Banff is an amazing experience any time of year but the winter is undoubtedly the most beautiful time to visit. With a blanket of snow the Park takes on a surreal and almost fairy tale experience. It's gorgeous.
BUT, are you able to get there, stay there and eat there? And, are the sites accessible during the winter? Well, that's what this video is all about.

Banff, located in the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada, is a popular and stunning destination throughout the year, but it particularly shines in the winter for several reasons:
Winter Wonderland Scenery: The landscape of Banff National Park transforms into a winter wonderland with snow-covered mountains, frozen lakes, and pristine forests. The picturesque scenery is breathtaking and offers numerous opportunities for winter photography and outdoor activities.
Skiing and Snowboarding: Banff is home to world-class ski resorts such as Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mount Norquay. Skiers and snowboarders flock to the area to experience the excellent snow conditions, diverse terrain, and stunning mountain views.
Ice Skating: Lake Louise, one of the iconic lakes in the region, freezes over in winter, providing a unique opportunity for ice skating. The stunning backdrop of the frozen lake and surrounding mountains creates a magical setting for this winter activity.
Dog Sledding: Visitors can experience the thrill of dog sledding in the Banff National Park. This traditional winter activity allows you to explore the snowy wilderness with a team of sled dogs, providing an unforgettable adventure.
Winter Hiking and Snowshoeing: The region offers a network of winter hiking trails and snowshoeing routes. Exploring these trails allows visitors to experience the tranquility of the snow-covered forests and appreciate the beauty of the winter landscape.
Hot Springs: Banff is famous for its natural hot springs. Relaxing in the warm, soothing waters surrounded by snow-capped mountains is a unique and rejuvenating experience, especially during the winter months.
Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights): While not as common as in more northern regions, the Northern Lights can sometimes be visible in the Banff area during the winter months. The clear, crisp winter nights provide a better chance to witness this natural light display.
Cozy Atmosphere: The town of Banff itself becomes a cozy and welcoming retreat during the winter. The streets are adorned with festive lights, and the charming shops, restaurants, and cafes create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Winter Festivals and Events: Banff hosts various winter festivals and events, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the local culture and traditions. These events often include winter sports competitions, art exhibitions, and cultural celebrations.
バンフへの旅行は、一年中いつでも素晴らしい体験ができますが、間違いなく冬が最も美しい時期です。雪に覆われた公園は、超現実的で、ほとんどおとぎ話のような体験をします。それはゴージャスです。
でも、そこに行って、そこにいて、そこで食事をすることはできるでしょうか？また、冬の間もサイトにアクセスできますか?まあ、それがこのビデオの内容です。
一年中的任何時候前往班夫旅行都是一次令人驚嘆的體驗，但冬季無疑是最美麗的遊覽時間。公園被白雪覆蓋，呈現出一種超現實、近乎童話般的體驗。太漂亮了。
但是，你能到達那裡、待在那裡、在那裡吃飯嗎？而且，這些站點在冬季可以訪問嗎？嗯，這就是這個影片的全部內容。

Exactly the kind of video I needed. Thanks for being concise, clear, and informative!
I really appreciate your nice comment! Thank you very much. Enjoy Banff (more snow now than when I filmed in November).
Fantastic video, would love to live in Banff one day!
Thank you very much for the comment. To live in Banff is the dream! Visiting will have to do for now, but that's pretty great too.
Great and informative video. We really enjoyed the winter impressions. ❄👍🙂
Thank you so much for the nice comment. I really appreciate it!
Been a few times and love your other videos.
As someone who has almost zero experience in snow i would appreciate anyone's input- What kind of gear do you use to walk around so you don't slip?
I did Johnston Canyon one year in May and while I had these chain things on my boots it was still slippery enough even with hiking poles that we decided to not try to get to upper falls and ended our little hike at lower falls. In fact we saw two people fall down on the short section going down to lower falls.
Thanks for the comment. I use a device that just clamps to my boots (as an example: amzn.to/48Q8UGD). You can get all sorts but this is what I have used (then I usually lose them). I love Johnston Canyon - didn't go last year but should be doing it this May when I return.
Hey Travel Eaz, I wanted to leave a comment under one of your wonderful videos. I'm Chris from Germany and was inspired by you to visit the national parks in the USA this year. I was in California and visited Yosemite and Sequoia. It was breathtaking and your tips helped me a lot!
After that I only found out about the Canadian Rocky Mountain National Parks through you and that's why I'm going to fly to Seattle with my friends next March to do a big road trip with the numerous national parks like Olympic, North Cascades and Jasper. Banff will also be there and after your video today about winter in Banff I can't wait to get there! 🤩
I have already recommended you to several friends and hope that you continue with such great videos and are an inspiration to many people! Thank you so much! 🫶🏻
This is such a great comment and thank you very much. It's funny because I obviously do these videos alone (and in the cold!) and have no idea that great people such as you are watching from the other side of the planet. I really appreciate it. I haven't done an Olympic National Park video yet, which is funny because I live quiet close to Olympic National Park. That being said, I'm doing one in the spring so keep watching. Enjoy your trip to the US - you have great plans.
@@traveleaz That's understandable! But that's the good thing, after all, your videos are very informative and worth watching, but for us Europeans, the national parks are far too distant to just pop in, as you might be able to do here for the Alps. That's why it's even more worthwhile to watch your videos if you're not from North America! 🙌🏻
And that's really funny, so I'm really looking forward to the video of the Olympic National Park! But does that mean that you also live close to Mount Rainier National Park? 🤩
love your videos
That is so nice and greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
Hi there! Thanks again for this informative video! Question - Maybe I missed it in your video - But I'm visiting Banff next week for 4 days and am wondering if I'll need to buy a Park Pass? Where's the best place for this?
Thank you for the comment. Okay, you can purchase a park pass online (parks.canada.ca/pn-np/ab/banff/visit/passer-passes) or in person at the park entrance gates as you enter from the east (so, driving from Calgary).
thank you for this! this is timely as i am looking to do a solo trip to banff with my dog! do you have any restaurant recommendations that are dog friendly?
also would it be ideal to go in february or march? :)
One of the dog-friendly restaurants that I am aware of is Magpie and Stump and Farm and Fire (I think Evelyn's Coffee bar does too). I think the problem you might find is that many of the restaurants that permit dogs, only permit dogs on outdoor patios (not great in the winter).
Here's a good website to check out: banffawaits.com/dog-friendly-restaurants-banff/
If you like the winter then yes, those two months are great (can be cold!). I've been to Banff twice in the last 6 weeks and it was cold both times (obviously) but not outrageously cold. I love two things about winter - I think it's prettier and the crowds are not bad at all.
My dream is paiting from national park nature❤❤❤❤⛰️🏕️🗽🎨
Banff is the place to do it! Thank you for the comment.
