The Relaxed Traveler
As the Relaxed Traveler, your getaways are filled with downtime. Your itineraries are usually made once at your destination and you don't mind that one bit. In fact, go with the flow is the mantra you chant while meditating. That's why Banff National Park is the perfect place to be this festive holiday season! While trying to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy season, we'll find you relaxing in the spa or hiking in the quiet forests that surround the property.
Based on your answers, we've put together an itinerary of things you can do while celebrating Christmas at the Castle. So whether you're staying a few days or longer, are visiting with family, your significant other, or just enjoying the time solo, we think you'll enjoy this itinerary!
