Nope! We have partnered with Snowtips-Bactrax and Bear Street Outfitters (both on Bear Street) to meet our guests for tours at their respected storefronts so that we can spend more time on the trail, less time in the office! Please give us a call or shoot us an email if you have any questions regarding our tours.

There is complimentary parking on the 2nd and 3rd floor at the parking garage on Bear Street right beside Nesters Market. Should that be full, you can pay for parking downtown or utilize the free parking lot at the Banff Transit Hub - just a short 5 minute walk to Bear Street

What is an electric mountain bike? Electric pedal assist mountain bikes, or e-MTBs, amplify the power you put into the bike while pedaling. When you stop pedaling, the motor stops assisting. You still have to earn your fun, but you get a better return on your energy investment. On our e-bike tours, we take you on a mix of multi-use trails, gravel pathways and single track trails. 

A helmet & electric (pedal assist) mountain bike are provided.

Our Taste of the Trails tour is suitable for beginners. You should be comfortable riding some type of human-propelled, two-wheeled bicycle prior to taking this tour.

Our Intermediate Mountain Bike Tour is suitable for those very comfortable on a mountain bike or an equivalent type of human-propelled, two wheeled bicycle. For those who like some above average adventure on their vacation - this is the tour for you!

Please be prepared for the mountain weather, it changes quickly. A raincoat is mandatory as you never know when to expect a shower.

To ensure that you enjoy the tour, please wear/bring:

• A rain jacket - required!
• Flat soled shoes if you have them, runners will work. 
• Full-fingered gloves and protective eyewear (sunglasses or safety glasses)
• Helmets are mandatory and included in tour cost. 
• Dress in thin layers in order to be mobile and remove if necessary
• A backpack with water, snacks and room to store layers
