Banff Bike Tours in Winter
Winter fat tire e-biking is a brand new and exciting experience in Banff National Park!
Fat Tire biking has rapidly become one of the most popular winter activities. It is the perfect blend of stability and traction in snow and ice, combined with the power of an electric bike.
Our intermediate winter fat tire bike tour features THE BEST groomed fat biking trails in Banff National Park! It’s called “ The Ultimate” Fat bike experience in the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains of Banff, AB. This is the perfect tour if you want to safely get into the backcountry while enjoying a gourmet lunch at Sundance Lodge! Participating in this tour requires an above-average fitness level and good cycling skills or athleticism.
