Take a walk on the wild side
Explore our scenic hiking trails this summer and discover some of the most picturesque terrain in Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies. Trails range from 1.7 km to 2.5 km round trips and are located at the top of the Summer Gondola just above a wildlife corridor closure area. See our hiking trail map for more details.
Note: Please be aware that the Pika and Ptarmigan Valley Viewpoint trails are closed due to Long-Range Plan construction. For inquiries about trail conditions and status please call the Guides at 1 (403) 522-1385.

- Trails may also close due to adverse weather conditions or construction.
