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 City Balloon Tours 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

Keep an eye out for elk, beavers, and birdlife along the shore.

Finish with a fun downhill run back toward town.
