Three Bucket-List Summer Activities in Banff & Lake Louise

Once the snow melts away, Banff National Park transforms from a winter wonderland into an endless expanse of natural beauty. Here are three activities to tick-off your summer bucket list!

 

Via Ferrata at Mt Norquay, Banff National Park.

 

CLIMB A MOUNTAIN AT MT NORQUAY

Locals will agree that it’s hard to beat the view from the historic Cliffhouse Bistro. However, if you’re looking to take it to the next level Mt Norquay has got you covered. Grab a harness and join your ACMG Guide for the unique opportunity to walk along the summit of Mt Norquay. With three via ferrata routes of varying difficulty spanning in length from 2 – 6 hours, Norquay really does have something for everyone. Those looking for a more relaxed sightseeing experience can still experience the epic views by riding the North American chair to the boardwalk.

EXPLORE SUNSHINE MEADOWS

Voted the #1 day hike in Canada by Lonely Planet, Sunshine Meadows offers an incredible combination of panoramic views and blooming wildflowers. A quick zip up the Sunshine Village gondola (Gondola runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday) brings you to the starting point for your adventure. Explorers can add a trip up the Standish Chair to soak in the views of Mount Assiniboine and beyond.
