There is plenty to occupy the non-skier in both Banff and Lake Louise, including ice skating, ice canyon and nature walks, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding and the world famous Hot Springs. Several of the big hotels have spa facilities, all of which are available for non-residents at a fee. Other activities include city trips and ice hockey evenings. For those with a car, the spectacular Columbia Icefields are an hour or so away from Lake Louise.
