Visiting Banff National Park in Winter

This week, we’ll check out some of the great meeting point destinations for you and your loved ones over the Winter Holidays.

Banff National Park in western Canada is the perfect spot to surround yourself with friends, family and an amazing snowy scenery. The tranquility of the mountainous outdoors will allow you to get in some great quality time with those you are closest with.

Banff is beautiful year-round, but the wintertime offers especially memorable sights and activities including amazing frozen waterfalls, ice fishing, skiing and horse-drawn sleigh rides. At the end of the day, sit by the fire at one of Banff’s many hotels or hostels, and catch up with old friends.

Real Travel blogger Jenn Jenn writes:

“Arrived in Banff after a 13 hour bus ride through the snow covered mountains, to discover the true meaning of cold - minus 15 degrees! However, we don’t care, we have warm clothes and this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The snow is deep, white and just keeps on falling! This is what Canada is all about, to my mind anyway.”

The snow begins to fall in November and can be enjoyed up until March. While the average temperature in winter is six degrees Fahrenheit (-12C), temperatures can drop to as low as -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-30C) in December and January. A logical suggestion—pack warmly.

Frequently called “the most beautiful place in the world”, visit Banff National Park and share in this truly Walden experience with those who you enjoy most.
