About BIKESCAPE

“More people on bikes, MORE PEOPLE ON BIKES!”
(…oh, and skis too)

Our Mission (should you choose to accept it) is to provide you with the confidence and skills for a ridiculously fun, seriously safe, mind-blowing adventure on the trails of the Bow Valley, in the majestic Canadian Rockies. 

In the summer we ride mountain bikes, in the winter we ride fat-tire winter bikes and we cross-country ski. Our certified instructors are passionate, local guides who are eager to help give you the confidence and skills to take you on their favourite, off-the-beaten-path trails. 

Our goal is to be the leading local, authentic, all-round-fun-providers for cross-country skiing and mountain biking in the Banff National Park for skiers and riders of all ages and abilities. Through our camps and guided tours, we strive to build a solid community of recreationists celebrating their passion, confidence and excitement of riding mountain bikes and cross-country skiing in Banff National Park.
