WINTER SLEIGH RIDES

Discover the enchantment of Banff National Park as the picturesque landscape of Lake Louise transforms into a scene from your favourite Christmas card. 

Wrapped in warmth and comfort, enjoy views of Victoria glacier and the ice falls by day or bask in the glow of the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise and a starlit by night. Whether seeking a cozy family outing or a romantic escape, our sleigh rides promise magical memories that linger long after the snow has melted.

Crafted with care, our traditionally styled sleighs boast plush upholstered seats and snug blankets, ensuring your journey is as comfortable as it is breathtaking. 

Pulled by majestic draft horses, these gentle giants take you on a peaceful and awe-inspiring sleigh ride. Weighing as much as 2600lbs and standing as tall as 17 hands, these incredible animals demonstrate traits of patience, strength, and tranquility.

Your adventure through this winter wonderland promises sights and sounds that will stir your soul, whether you're gathering with family, celebrating love, or sharing the season's joy with friends.

A romantic two-seater cutter is also available for those special moments, offering a private escape and a memory to cherish. Ideal for engagements, weddings, anniversaries or birthday celebrations.

Join us for an authentic sleigh ride—a signature experience where magic isn't just found in the stories we tell, but in every moment we travel together.
