White Mountain Adventures

About White Mountain Adventures

White Mountain Adventures runs guided hiking and snowshoeing experiences in Banff National Park with a deliberate focus on keeping groups small. The maximum group size policy is the defining feature of the operation and it changes the experience substantially.

You spend more time moving and less time waiting for the group to regroup. The guides have deep knowledge of the terrain and ecology and the interpretive commentary is the kind that comes from years of working in a specific place rather than a training manual. The summer hiking program covers terrain from moderate valley walks to full-day alpine routes.

The winter snowshoeing program accesses terrain that the ski resorts do not reach and the pace is calibrated for the conditions rather than a preset itinerary. A good choice for travellers who want a guided experience that does not feel like a bus tour.
