Hiking trails around Banff

Hiking is one of the most popular activities for people visiting the National Parks and a great way to enjoy the spectacular scenery and fresh mountain air. There are many trails suitable for all levels of fitness and ages.

We would highly recommend a visit to the Parks Canada Info Centres in Banff. Parks Canada staff can help match your required length of walk, elevation gain, scenery and accessibility as well as provide you with latest conditions, animal sightings and any closures.

Here are just a few of the guided hikes available:
