INDIGESCAPE SUMMER EBIKE EXPERIENCE

Indigenous Cultural History Banff EBike Tours

Embark on a transformative journey through the heart of Banff National Park, where the ancient wisdom and history of the land meets the thrill of ebiking adventure. Join us on a unique joint experience brought to you by Bikescape, the premier ebike tour company in the Canadian Rockies, and Buffalo Stone Woman, a revered Indigenous hiking tour guide. Your adventure begins in downtown Banff, where you’ll be warmly welcomed and equipped with everything you need, from ebike rentals to helmets.

This journey is so much more than just a bike ride—it’s an immersion in Indigenous cultural history. Before setting out, partake in a solemn Indigenous blessing and land acknowledgement ceremony, connecting you to the profound history of this place. Then, hop on your bike for a casual ride through breathtaking trails. Along the way, you will be immersed in Indigenous teachings and participate in a smudge ceremony, deepening your understanding of the land’s significance to its original inhabitants.

To keep you energized, we provide snacks and cold drinks while you pedal through the natural wonders of Banff National Park. Finally, full of lasting memories and newfound insights, we return to town, concluding an unforgettable 2 to 3 hour journey covering approximately 10km-15km. Please note that all guests should have basic bike-riding skills to participate.

Discover the harmony between nature and Indigenous culture on this extraordinary ebike adventure.
