Four Romantic Getaways: Part 3 – Banff
#FairmontLovesFebruary – Romantic Getaway to Banff
Canada’s Western Mountains are home to four beautiful destinations that have everything need for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re looking to surprise that special someone for a Valentine’s Day long weekend or to celebrate your love some other time in February, we’ve put together romantic recommendations for Jasper, Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise. All you have to do is choose where you want to go!
Planning a Romantic Getaway to Banff?
Stay: Fairmont Banff Springs – Book a Bed & Breakfast package for your Banff stay. Breakfast, parking and gratuities are included. So you can just park the car and start exploring the romantic Castle in the Rockies.
Play: Banff has endless winter activities to choose from but for a romantic escape consider a cozy Dog Sledding adventure. Few things are more intimate than trying something new with your love. And candidly not a lot of people have been pulled over snowy trails by a team of dogs. Plus, you get to give the dogs some love afterwards. It’s a beloved experience that puts the “mush” in “mushy”.
If a more poetic activity is called for, head over to Banff Trail Riders for a private and whimsical sleigh ride through Banff’s snow-covered meadows. Every ride includes a campfire pit stop to warm up fireside with a cup of hot chocolate.
Relax: Book some quality “us” time for the two of you at the world- renowned Fairmont Spa Banff Springs. Choose from a selection of massages, body & facial treatments intended to relax, restore and rejuvenate in a serene alpine sanctuary.
Dine: With so many dining options available at Fairmont Banff Springs, it’s difficult to recommend one over another, let alone choose one. Nevertheless, starting your day with breakfast in bed is ideal for a romantic getaway. But then what? Why not stop by STOCK for a chai latte or espresso to go before heading out the Castle to explore Banff.
In the evening, enjoy an intimate dining experience at 1888 Chop House. Begin by toasting your love with a glass of bubbly from the champagne cart. Then oysters perhaps? For a main, we recommend the Wagyu Filet Mignon. Lastly, wrap up the evening with a nightcap in the newly renovated Rundle Bar.
