10 Must-See Sights on a 3-Day Banff Group Tour in April 2026
Banff is one of Canada’s most iconic destinations, and a 3-Day Group Tour from Edmonton with a Canmore stay in April 2026 is the perfect way to experience it. With spring just around the corner, the Rockies come alive with a mix of snowy peaks, budding trees, and peaceful trails.
Here are the 10 must-see sights you’ll enjoy on your journey.
1. Banff Townsite
Your adventure begins in the heart of Banff. This charming alpine town is filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, and stunning mountain backdrops. Take a stroll along Banff Avenue for souvenirs, maple treats, and photo ops.
2. Bow Falls
Just a short distance from Banff town, Bow Falls is a roaring cascade set against snow-capped peaks. In April, the flow is powerful from melting snow, making it one of the most photogenic stops.
3. Lake Louise
No trip to Banff is complete without Lake Louise. In April, the lake is often still frozen, creating a magical mirror-like surface surrounded by snowy mountains. Whether you walk the shoreline or simply take in the view, it’s unforgettable.
4. Canmore’s Three Sisters Peaks
Staying in Canmore means you’ll wake up to one of the Rockies’ most iconic views—the Three Sisters peaks. The mountains look especially dramatic in April’s crisp skies, making sunrise and sunset must-see moments.
5. Banff Gondola (Sulphur Mountain)
For panoramic views, the Banff Gondola is unbeatable. Ride up Sulphur Mountain to see six mountain ranges, the Bow Valley, and Banff Town below. Dress warmly—it’s cooler at the summit!
6. Banff Upper Hot Springs
After exploring, unwind in the steaming mineral waters of the Banff Upper Hot Springs. With snow-capped peaks around you, soaking here in April feels magical.
7. Two Jack Lake
A peaceful, lesser-known gem, Two Jack Lake is a photographer’s dream. The lake is calm in April, often reflecting Mount Rundle perfectly. It’s also a great spot for a picnic.
8. Lake Minnewanka
Just a few minutes from Banff, Lake Minnewanka offers dramatic mountain scenery and often early glimpses of wildlife like bighorn sheep. In April, the lake is quiet—perfect for a serene stop.
9. Banff Avenue Views of Cascade Mountain
Even walking through downtown Banff offers a postcard-worthy view: Cascade Mountain towering at the end of Banff Avenue. In April, the snowy peak creates an iconic photo backdrop.
10. Wildlife Sightings
April is an exciting month for spotting wildlife. Elk, deer, and even bighorn sheep are often seen near the highways and around Banff’s outskirts. Keep your camera ready, but admire from a safe distance.
