Paddle along glacial lakes beneath snowy peaks while glamping in Banff.
Situated inside Banff National Park, the small town of Banff boasts incredible scenery and outdoor activities year-round—all perfect for glamping. Glampers can stay in town in accommodations like trapper-style canvas tents equipped with potable water, toilets, showers, and picnic tables, or book a nearby yurt equipped with a queen-size bed and a private deck with a hot tub to savor the mountain views while indulging in the finer things on your next glamping getaway. Canoers and kayakers will want to take a soothing paddle on the aquamarine waters of Lake Louise, 40 minutes from Banff’s town center. To avoid the park’s busy summer season, consider a glamping experience in September when the weather is still warm, but trails, lodges, and attractions are less crowded. Fall camping will also make it easier to reserve one of the pet-friendly riverside yurts at nearby Bragg Creek too. Glamping sites may provide wood stoves, hot showers, and firepits—a great way for winter visitors to warm up after skiing or snowshoeing.
