Whether you’re planning a lengthy getaway, or a short weekend visit, a trip to the Canadian Rockies is great for couples looking for adventure, or just a place to retreat and get some well-deserved quiet time. To help you start planning the perfect escape, here are a few ways to get the most out of your romantic getaway in the mountains.

In the Banff area, couples can enjoy several activities at their own pace. There are numerous socially distanced friendly hikes in the area to try no matter what the time of year, including the Tunnel Mountain trail that is only minutes away from Buffalo Mountain Lodge.

Other options include getting some turns in on one of the local ski hills, taking in the gorgeous 360 degree mountain views on the Banff Gondola, as well as exploring the local shops in the town of Banff!

In and around Emerald Lake Lodge there is an abundance of activities to get up to on your romantic getaway. Take a short drive to Golden to get in some powdery turns at Kicking Horse Resort, or drive into Lake Louise to enjoy more skiing, ice skating, dog sledding and more!

Even though most of our usual traditions need a little adjusting this year, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a sweet getaway with that special someone to rejuvenate, relax and explore in the Rockies! *Can you replace the macarons and rum tasting pic with the one of Brittnee and her husband eating at the table in the Buffalo Suites? This rum tasting isn’t on the menu all the time.
