Overview

The effortless way to fall in love with Banff.

Hop on a fat-tire e-bike and feel the mountains open up. The bike does the climbing, you do the grinning. Follow the Bow River Trail past Bow Falls, loop the quiet road around the Banff Springs golf course, and stop at viewpoints over the town and peaks. Two hours of effortless adventure that feels like cheating, in the best way. Rides run year-round, on dirt and pavement in summer and packed snow in winter.

★ Banff's top-rated tour provider, with 5,000+ five-star reviews and four Cool Shore Excursions Travelers' Choice awards.

Highlights:
◆ Bow River Trail and Bow Falls
◆ The golf course loop, a guest favourite
◆ Electric assist, so if you can ride a bike, you can do this
◆ Hot drinks and a sweet treat on winter rides

Vermilion Lakes

On summer rides, cruise the quiet Vermilion Lakes Road, a mostly flat route along a chain of three lakes and wetlands just west of town. The wide tires grip easily on the gentle rolls, and the electric boost makes every rise effortless.Stop for the classic view of Mount Rundle rising across the water, one of the most photographed scenes in Banff. Keep an eye out for elk, beavers, and birdlife along the shore.

Spray River Trail Loop

The wide tires handle roots and gravel with ease, and the electric boost takes the work out of every climb.Watch for deer and elk in the quieter stretches, then pause for a view of the Fairmont Banff Springs from across the river, a different angle from the usual postcard shot. Finish with a fun downhill run back toward town.

30 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Banff Town Sign

Fairmont Banff Springs (pass by)

Ride up to the Fairmont Banff Springs, the "Castle in the Rockies," built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888. Pause at the terrace for a look down the Bow Valley, then roll on past the hotel's stone towers.

Bow Falls

Stop at Bow Falls, where the Bow River pours over a wide band of rock ledges just below the Fairmont Banff Springs. In summer, the falls run high and loud with snowmelt. Marilyn Monroe filmed scenes here for the 1954 film River of No Return.

Cave and Basin National Historic Site

On winter rides, stop at Cave and Basin, the birthplace of Canada's national parks.
