FAQs
Can I customize the itineraries?
While the file itself is not editable, each day gives plenty of options allowing you to make the day exactly what you want it to be. If you’d prefer to have this fit your specific interests and desired activity level, I recommend a Custom Banff Itinerary.
Does this 3 day Banff itinerary include accommodation bookings?
This 3 Day Banff Itinerary includes recommendations for accommodations, but bookings are not included. You’ll need to make reservations for accommodations and tours yourself.
Is this itinerary suitable for families with children?
Yes! This itinerary is suitable for families travelling with children, but please keep in mind that the days are packed full to make the most of such a short trip. You may choose to not see everything and do less driving than is recommended.
Another option is to book a travel consultation to get more in-depth on family friendly options.

No. This itinerary is now included inside Full Access to the Banff & Jasper Planning Hub. That means you’ll also get the Banff Travel Guide, all itineraries, printable itinerary versions, and live seasonal Q&A support.
What if I have questions while planning?
Full Access includes live seasonal Banff Trip Planning Q&A support, where you can submit your questions in advance and watch the replays afterward. If you want detailed personalized help planning your exact trip, a Banff Travel Consultation is still the best option.
