The Quaker's name for Sunday

Day 1 banff town-gonghe waterfall-banff cable car-banff hot spring

On the first day in Banff, don't go anywhere else and explore this town.

The mountains behind Banff, the beautiful stone buildings in CentralPark, and the cabins along the street are almost like the mysterious base of Santa Claus, and it seems that there are fairy tales everywhere. It is better to spend a day exploring the charm of the town and its surroundings.

You can walk around the town in the morning, and the Gonghe River, which freezes in winter, has a kind of aesthetic feeling of time solidification.

If the weather is too cold, you can also buy some clothes at our new CanadaGoose store. Alberta can't save taxes. It's a good deal to buy such clothes without reducing the price.

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

When the afternoon approaches evening, you can take the bus to Banff Cable Car. The sunset in Banff Town is beautiful. Just one look can make you love it forever. If you come early, you can take more walks. 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, canmore-dog sledding-cave-Kanyong-Banff Town stayed.

Canmore is another small town just a drive from Banff, which can be reached in 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 be overworked. 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 ~

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

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

the third day

Day 3 Johnston Canyon-Enjoy Food-Banff Hot Springs Fermon Castle Hotel-Sunset at Zhusha Lake.

What should I do in winter? The answer must be to go to the canyon. In winter, the valleys in the Rocky Mountains have their own magic, either mysterious or charming. Johnston Canyon is definitely the best of many canyons. Unlike GrottoCanyon, in Johnston Canyon, you can see the 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 have the opportunity to see another waterfall, which is relatively warm here, and you have the opportunity to see the magnificent scenery of the waterfall rushing down from the ice wall.

After returning to Banff, try Alberta's delicious 3A beef in a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, you can stroll around the town and go to the museum. If you don't want to walk, you can take a bus to visit 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. Lake Louis is so beautiful in winter, you must remember the video you shared before. If you haven't seen it, you can click here to make you fall in love with winter! Pull it to the end.

Lake Louise in winter will give you a sense of China landscape painting reappearing in the world, with beautiful artistic conception. There is no "must" game in Lake Louis. If you don't want to move, just order something to eat, then eat snacks and watch the scenery for 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. To the layman, it's really intense. No wonder it's Canada's national ball.

If you still want to take a walk, besides hiking by the lake, you can also sign up for the snowshoe hiking experience here. Fairviewlookout is a very good choice for overlooking Lake Louise in winter. However, please note that if you don't have any experience in snowshoeing, please sign up for the tour group and let the tour guide take you there. When 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.

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, then take a bag of cotton candy and bake it on the branch, then eat half of it and throw the other half into 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. The winter scenery of Lake Louise Ski Resort is absolutely magnificent. Every year, Lake Louise Ski Resort wins various skiing awards for its outstanding value. If you can't ski here, you won't suffer Besides overlooking Lake Louis, playing UFO, trying snowshoeing and hiking, you will be happy all day.

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

Fifth day

Free activities on the fifth day.

In the first four days, I introduced basically all the places that need to punch in. On the fifth day, please arrange a pleasant trip according to your own preferences.
