If you want to explore the backcountry in comfort, consider a multi-day lodge vacation.

You get to travel on horseback along a historic pack trail that winds through the craggy Sundance Range, venturing to places most Banff visitors never get to see.

And at the end of each vista-filled day, you can unwind at a comfortable backcountry lodge.

Lodge Vacations are perfect for:

  • Those with at least basic horseback riding experience
  • People who love the outdoors – but want to spend evenings in rustic comfort
  • 1 – 5 nights, depending on the package
