Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Banff

Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Banff on Where Rockies

Play on Where Rockies Onlin

It’s just around the corner! Whether you’re looking to cuddle up with your special someone, hang out with your best pals, or fly solo and create your own fun, there are some great ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Banff.

  1. Enjoy a Romantic Dinner

Bring your “plus one” to Brazen for a romantic three-course dinner made for sharing. Add on wine pairings to elevate your evening. Enjoy a romantic evening at Farm & Fire with their Valentine’s weekend special. Enjoy a specialty tasting menu and a lesson on how to saber a bottle of champaign at Banff Social. For something a little extra, the Rose & Crown is hosting Death by Chocolate, decadent murder mystery party with cocktails, rich chocolate temptations, and a murder to solve!

  1. Go Skiing

Don’t think the ski hill is romantic? Think again! Norquay is hosting their annual Lifts of Love event on February 7. This speed-dating-on-a-chairlift event is the perfect way to meet that special someone! The event is early this year, so you probably have time to fall in love before Valentine’s Day is here for real. Other great events at Norquay include Cool2Carpool on February 11 (Galentines anyone?), Magic on the Mountain on February 14, and the special Starlight Dinner at Cliffhouse Bistro.

  1. Find Romance under the Stars

Take the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain and experience Nightrise, a series of immersive, interactive art displays that reimagine the mountaintop at night. This is the final season for Nightrise, so make sure you get to experience it before it’s gone! Nothing says romance holding onto your special someone while spinning down the mountain in a giant inflatable tube under the stars. Night tubing at Mt Norquay is fast, it’s fun, and it’s a great way to spend some time on the slopes at night. Check it out on Friday and Saturday evenings this winter!

  1. Get Crafty!

Let your artistic side flow with a couples craft night. Paint pottery at Good Earth Coffehouse with Crock-a-Doodle. No experience is necessary for this event, and you’ll walk away with a couple of a set of two mugs, wine goblets, or beer steins and some great memories. Enjoy a glass of wine, beer or non-alcoholic bevvie while you let your artistic side shine.
