Itinerary
Start with an easy warm-up ride along the Bow River Trail, right from downtown Banff. Get comfortable on the e-bike as you follow the river, with Mount Rundle and Cascade Mountain rising on either side.
Ride the Fenland Trail, a flat forest loop through tall spruce along Forty Mile Creek, just minutes from town. It's shaded and green in summer, quiet and snow-packed in winter, and a good spot to watch for elk and deer.
On summer rides, cruise the quiet Vermilion Lakes Road, a mostly flat route along a chain of three lakes and wetlands just west of town. The wide tires grip easily on the gentle rolls, and the electric boost makes every rise effortless. Stop for the classic view of Mount Rundle rising across the water, one of the most photographed scenes in Banff. Keep an eye out for elk, beavers, and birdlife along the shore.
Loop the Spray River Trail, a rolling forest ride along the river just south of the Banff Springs. The wide tires handle roots and gravel with ease, and the electric boost takes the work out of every climb. Watch for deer and elk in the quieter stretches, then pause for a view of the Fairmont Banff Springs from across the river, a different angle from the usual postcard shot. Finish with a fun downhill run back toward town.
Stop at the Banff Town Sign for a group photo with your e-bikes, with the mountains rising behind. It's one of the most popular photo spots in town, and your guide is happy to take the shot.
Ride up to the Fairmont Banff Springs, the "Castle in the Rockies," built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888. Pause at the terrace for a look down the Bow Valley, then roll on past the hotel's stone towers.
Stop at Bow Falls, where the Bow River pours over a wide band of rock ledges just below the Fairmont Banff Springs. In summer, the falls run high and loud with snowmelt. Marilyn Monroe filmed scenes here for the 1954 film River of No Return.
On winter rides, stop at Cave and Basin, the birthplace of Canada's national parks. In 1883, three railway workers found warm mineral springs in a cave here, and two years later the area was protected, starting what became Banff National Park. Step inside the cave to see the steaming turquoise pool.

Nolan was such a great guide. I was a bit nervous having never ridden an e-bike before & being less adventurous than my husband & daughter but Nolan was very reassuring about the pace & stops. I was able to keep up and really enjoyed the experience. It was an excellent route, lots of variety in scenery & we were so lucky to come across a herd of elk. Would highly recommend this company for reliability, customer service, small group experience & scenic route. It was a great experience with a teen in tow!
We had an amazing experience with Liam. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and customized our tour based on our requests. I recommend Radventures!!
Liam was excellent! Very fun bikes kids loved it, great views and stopping points overall very informative but still fun would recommend and do again!
Fortunate to have a warm, sunny afternoon it made perfect conditions for a bike ride. Our guide Simon was great. Gave us a thorough overview of the bikes before we started & an overview of what to expect. We had a wonderful tour around Banff taking in views, taking photos, stopping at places we hadn't thought we'd have time ourselves to do, so a great bonus. Simon showed us a map of the region & again put our location, & future journey in context. Such a beautiful ride & great electric bikes to ride. Thank you Simon for a great adventure.
Never been e-biking before..oh boy, what I've missed. Really good fun, well explained briefing by our guide Tyler, quick chance to familiarize ourselves with the bike controls, and then we were off around Banff on a 2 hr tour. Great route. Good info from the guide at each stop. Professional service throughout. Don't hesitate..THIS TRIP is worth EVERY penny 👌
Nolan was amazing! I celebrated my birthday on the fat bike winter tour and loved every second of it!! Nolan was very knowledgeable and had a great and friendly attitude. Would definitely recommend this tour for adventurous souls!
The guide was so friendly and professional. We had a small group but it was so much fun. The bikes were great and the scenery even better! We even stopped for hot chocolate and s’mores. I would highly recommended it!
Grab warm clothes, shoes, etc, waterproof, snow proof, whatever u find cos it gets cold!!!! I was on a solo trip, with an another family of 7 in our group. Taylor ensured an amazing experience, even made me a mocha at a view point, took photos when asked. Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I walked in to the experience unprepared for what beauty I was to witness.! Just grab warm stuff and it’s a vibe
Nolan was an enthusiastic, friendly and kind instructor who took care of us the whole tour and made sure we were all comfortable. The pace was excellent for all levels and he made it fun. Nolan is 5 star and we are grateful to spend Christmas Day in such a unique way in such a beautiful part of the world. Would 100% recommend.
Our guide was Lubo and he was super friendly and really knowledgeable. The tour was a lot of fun it was a perfect day weather wise and even better it was just us and Lubo so was basically a private tour. Would definitely recommend this tour as a good way to see some of the cool scenic stops around Banff.
We had a great tour with Charlie from Radventures. We were part of a small group and saw great sites. The bikes work well, Charlie gave us handwarmers and hot chocolate to survive the cold, and even extended the tour to see a bonus site.
I joined the electric fat bike tour with Taylor on a beautiful day in Banff. There were only three of us, which made it relaxed and enjoyable. The 2-hour ride was easy with the electric bikes, and I took some great photos along the way. Taylor was friendly and shared interesting info about the area. It’s a perfect tour for non-drivers who want to explore Banff in a fun and active way.
Lubo was a great tour guide, he knows a lot about Banff and shares fun facts about the Cave & Basin, the history of the Fairmont hotel and larches. He knows all the good spots for photos with the mountains in the background and good mountain bike dirt trails! Great experience overall, will definitely come back for a different season.
Had a great time, got to see a lot of sites around town we hadn’t seen yet. Fat tire bikes were great since it had just snowed, felt very secure and easy to navigate.
We traveled all over town and saw all the best sights! A little bit of a learning curve with the e-bike, but I may never go back to a regular bicycle.
Simon was a great guide, and took us to many places with didn't know about and loved, and/or places that wouldn't have been convenient by car. In addition, the small group aspect made the tour even more enjoyable.
Extremely Enjoyable Ride - Easy and Comfortable - Great scenery for staying close to town. We had a small group, received nice historical details, took memorable pictures, and learned some insider info about Banff and restaurants!
A fun couple of hours on electric fat bikes! The bikes were easy to ride and pretty speedy when you needed them to be. Our guide Jaycob was excellent and made our tour very enjoyable. He gave us clear instructions on how to ride the bikes and kept an eye on us, making sure that we were comfortable on the trip at all times. Jaycob was very chatty and interesting and gave us lots of information about the places we stopped at. An excellent booking system - all very straightforward.
The ride was beautiful. Nolan was super friendly and full of knowledge about the local history. Highly recommended.
Taylor was an INCREDIBLE guide for our tour! He told us some great facts, kept us informed on when the biking might get a little tougher, and took lots of photos of us! So many great stops and views along the way, we are so glad we did this tour! 10/10 recommend!
Great experience. Taylor was very considerate, knowledgeable made it fun. I was less experience on bike but he made me feel comfortable and safe. He had more experience bikers have their fun time too. Scenery was fabulous. Hiking to these places would have taken several hours, I had limited time. A very refreshing experience. Worth every penny.
Tyler was a terrific guide, so personable and knowledgeable of the Banff area and history. We thoroughly enjoyed it and you certainly don’t have to be in shape to do this, use as much or as little power as you want. I would definitely recommend.
Liam did a great job of explaining the bike and showing us the sights. I hadn’t done that type of adventure before and it was fun.
Wonderful adventure around Banff. Our guide Harry was very informed and enjoys what he does which made it very fun for all of us. Definitely add this to your itinerary.
We highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your Banff stay! It is fantastic for giving you the lay of the land, seeing some landmarks, and seeing lots of beautiful sights. They have fat tire E-bikes that are perfect for all fitness levels, and we're super easy to use. Our guide, Liam, was fantastic.
Dan & Lubo did a tremendous job! The views were amazing. The conversations were intelligent and informative. They made it absolutely fun for the entire group. This is a must do.
Ollie was our guide, and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and gave us a choice of the rides that we could experience.
We had a great time. Our guide, Aaron, did a good job of navigating people and traffic. He took us to spots with amazing views.
Great fun. Enjoyed by all. In our group we had three teenagers who all loved it. The bikes are easy to ride and our guide, Jacob, was really knowledgeable.
It was fantastic, from the service from our guide (Jacob) to the condition of the equipment. Went to numerous sightseeing places and he was very knowledgeable of all the places we were at. Would highly recommend anyone coming into the Banff area to look up this company and reserve some rides with them.
Really enjoyed by all our family of 5. As much fun was had riding these bikes as visiting all the sights. Our guide Jacob was great and provided loads of interesting information along the way. It’s a lovely way to see a lot of the Banff area without a car.
Great tour - Simon was excellent & showed us all the sites of Banff. We really enjoyed ourselves & the bikes were excellent
This is an excellent way to see sites around Banff in a short space of time, the E bikes make light work of covering a large distance with minimal effort. Liam was a great guide who was friendly, helpful and informative. He provided lots of information on the places we visited. We visited popular places and quieter hidden gems which we would never have discovered alone. Highly recommended.
A truly amazing trip. Liam, our guide, was kind and took his time to explain the sights around us. I highly recommend this tour
Liam was awesome! The tour was perfect. We all walked away with a fond memory! Thanks so much. In our group was a 13 year old and a 77 year old. Perfect for everyone.
Liam was very professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. He showed exceptional care and concern about each and every one of our bikers. He went above and beyond to make our bike excursion a memorable experience.
We really challenged Liam with a 77 year old we a new knee replacement and a 13 year old who never road before. He was our super hero for the day!
The views were fantastic and our guide, Liam was a pro. He shared interesting information and was very attentive to the group. He handled some challenging riders with ease and patience. Way to go Liam!
Liam was an amazing tour guide. I had a great time. Being someone that isn't great on bikes let alone ever ridden an e bike he made sure i felt confident and safe! The tour was the perfect amount of information, perfect views and fun... I kinda wish it could have gone for longer! Would highly recommend to anyone and if your lucky you will have him as your guide.
We had an amazing experience on our bike tour! Liam, our guide, was not only extremely knowledgeable but also incredibly polite and friendly. He led us to some of the most breathtaking views and made the entire day fun, informative, and memorable. Thank you, Liam, for an awesome day—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
ncredible Banff Bike Tour with Liam! This bike tour through Banff was unforgettable! The scenery was stunning, but what really made it special was our guide, Liam. He brought the perfect mix of energy, knowledge, and fun. From hidden spots to wildlife sightings, he made the experience amazing from start to finish. Highly recommend—Liam is the real MVP
We had an EXCELLENT experience with Radventures!! The bikes were so easy to use- I don’t think we will ever read a normal, non-e-bike ever again! Our guide was so personable, easy-going, and very knowledgeable about Banff. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend!
Aaron’s knowledge and enthusiasm made this a winner!! Had a wonderful time biking all over Banff. This is a perfect introductory to the city and picks up several highlights. The bikes are easy to ride and comfortable, and I definitely felt safe and well instructed. Recommend fully!!
Taylor was an incredible guide, had interesting facts to share and was super gracious after we were late to the tour. I would definitely book with him again if I had the opportunity.
Had a fantastic experience with *Radventures* on their guided e-bike tour of Banff! The *Banff Highlights Tour* was the perfect way to explore the beauty of the park on two wheels. A big shoutout to our brilliant guide, *Nolan Ali* – he was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew all the best spots for stunning views and even offered to take great photos for us along the way. The e-bikes were in excellent condition and made the ride smooth and fun. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see Banff from a fresh perspective! -Naren
So much fun taking in the sights of Banff and learning local lore and history. Tess and Aaron were awesome!
Amazing tour with our brilliant guide Simon, he was friendly, patient and knowledgeable, offered to take photos for us and knew the best places for amazing views. The bikes were fantastic, would highly recommend for a fun tour of Banff. Thanks Simon!
Tess and Aaron were amazing! I was nervous and they both made my experience super enjoyable! We stopped for photos at several points and saw wildlife.
Nolan was amazing. He had lots of historical information in addition to his vast knowledge of local wildlife. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, accommodated our need for pix, and even offered assistance in future sights to see while in Banff. He was just a genuinely kind and caring person which made the tour extra special. This tour was such a great start to the day and we would definitely do again or book any tour he’s a guide for.
