The Quaker's name for Sunday

Day 1 banff town-* * and waterfall-banff cable car-banff hot spring

On your first day in Banff, don't explore the town anywhere else.

The mountains behind Barnave, the beautiful stone buildings in Central Park and the cabins along the street are almost like the mysterious base of Santa Claus, and fairy tales happen everywhere. It's better to spend a day exploring the charm of this town and its surroundings.

You can visit the town in the morning, and the frozen rivers and mountains in winter have a sense of beauty of time solidification.

If you feel too cold when you come, you can also buy it at our new Canada Goose Store. Alberta can't save taxes. It's a good deal to buy this kind of clothes without reducing the price.

This town looks like a fairy tale that will happen at any time. You can visit the Miracle Corner, which is the best place to shoot the castle.

You can take the bus to Banff's cable car in the afternoon. The sunset in Banff is beautiful. Just a glance will make you love it forever. If you come early, you can go further. There is a very easy hiking route on the cable car, which Banff rarely sees in winter.

After going down the mountain, don't forget to go to Banff Hot Spring, see the stars in the fog and see the daily life of the local people.

the next day

The next day, I stayed in canmore-dog sledding-grotto canyon-Banff town.

Canmore is another small town, only a short drive from Banff. It's only 20 minutes by bus. In fact, there are many things worth playing here, such as dogs pulling sleds. This activity has become the most popular activity for tourists. Don't worry too much about whether the dog will overwork. Merchants love dogs and strictly control the weight of tourists. If they are too fat, they may not be able to carry out this project ~

The grotto canyon may be a strange place for everyone, but I strongly recommend it, because this place is real and can only be visited in winter. In winter, the whole river freezes in the grotto canyon, and you will have the opportunity to explore the depths of the canyon that you can't reach in summer. I don't know. You can feel the charm here by looking at the pictures.

It should be noted that you must wear crampons when hiking in grottoes and canyons, otherwise it is easy to slip.

the third day

On the third day, Johnston Canyon-Enjoy the food-Banff Hot Springs Fermon Castle Hotel-Zhusha Lake sunset.

What should I do in winter? The answer must be to go to the canyon. In winter, the valleys of the Rocky Mountains are magical, mysterious or charming. Johnston Canyon is definitely the best of many canyons. Different from the Grottoes Canyon, in Johnston Canyon, you can see an ice castle created by nature.

In summer, the rushing waterfalls are frozen into thick ice walls, and occasionally you can see outdoor ice climbers, which is very interesting.

In the first half of the route, you will have the opportunity to see another waterfall, which is relatively warm here, and you will also have the opportunity to see the magnificent scenery washed down by the ice wall in the waterfall.

After returning to Banff, you might as well go to the local restaurant to experience Alberta's delicious 3A beef.

In the afternoon, you can visit towns and museums. If you don't want to walk, you can take a bus to Banff Fermon Hot Spring Castle Hotel. Because of its long history, this hotel actually has many interesting old photos and beautiful decoration, which is worth visiting.

Please don't miss the sunset on Zhusha Lake, which is the most beautiful color in Banff in winter.

The fourth day

Day 4 Banff-Lake Louis

No matter what season, Lake Louis is the kind of place where you have to punch in. How beautiful Lake Louise is in winter, you must remember the video you shared before. If you haven't seen it yet, you can click here to make you love winter! Pull to the bottom to see).

Lake Louise in winter will give you a feeling that China landscape paintings reappear in the world, and the artistic conception is very fairy and beautiful. Lois, there is no "must" game in the lake. If you don't want to move, just order something to eat, then have a snack, see the scenery and have a leisurely day.

You can also go skating, and the hotel can rent shoes, which is very convenient; You can also watch children play ice hockey. From a layman's point of view, it's really fierce. No wonder it's Canada's national ball.

If you still want to take a walk, in addition to hiking by the lake, you can also sign up for snowshoe hiking experience here. Fairviewlookout is a very good choice for overlooking Lake Louise in winter. However, please note that if you have no experience in snowshoeing, please sign up for a tour guide to take you. If you are not familiar with the road conditions, you may accidentally fall into the snow pit, which is very dangerous.

You can also consider trying dog sledding or horse sledding in Lake Louis. The experience is good, and the selling point is still high value.

When you are tired, sit by the campfire by the lake to keep warm. This activity is very suitable for a cup of sweet hot chocolate, take a bag of marshmallows, bake them on the branches, then eat half of them and throw the other half in the hot chocolate. Then you will find that winter is really good!

If you want to see Lake Louise from another angle, it's also good to go to Lake Louise Ski Resort. In winter, the scenery of Lake Louis ski resort is absolutely magnificent. Lake Louis Ski Resort wins various skiing awards every year because of its value. If you don't ski here, you won't suffer. Besides overlooking Lake Louis, snowboarding and snowshoeing, you can have fun all day.

It is enough to choose one or two of the above activities. It's impossible to play all of them. Very tired. You can stay in Lake Louis or go back to Banff that night. There is a bus anyway, which is very convenient.

Fifth day

On the fifth day, I was free.

Four days ago, all the places that need to punch in have been basically introduced. On the fifth day, please arrange a pleasant trip according to your own preferences.
