Overview
Our Banff Hiking Tour is the perfect adventure for anyone wanting to experience the best hikes in the Canadian Rockies, while enjoying the comfort of a hotel. We spend 3 nights in Banff on this hiking tour, using it as a “basecamp”, exploring the delights of one of Canada’s most famous mountain towns. Then we head over to Golden, a more rustic and authentic Canadian mountain town without the crowds that Banff attracts. Hike some of Canada’s greatest trails by day and enjoy a glass of Canadian wine and a locally inspired meal by night, before returning to the hotel for a soothing soak in the hot tub.
