Park Distillery Tour
Take a tour of the only distillery within a national park. Their water originates at six glaciers high in the Rocky Mountains and gains minerality as it travels across rich limestone deposits. Their grains are sourced from high-altitude family farms in the Alberta foothills. They hand-mill, hand-mash and hand-distill to preserve the purity of their ingredients. Park Distillery’s line of craft spirits are only available at a small store outside the distillery and a handful of restaurants and stores around the province of Alberta. Stay a while after your tour and enjoy dinner on your own in the attached restaurant- reservations are recommended. For more information about the venue please click here.

Banff Gondola
As a delegate of ICAC 2017, you save 20%* on Brewster’s Banff Gondola and associated packages. This excursion can be booked at your leisure using the code ICAC2017.
Journey to the top of the Banff Gondola to see a whole new side of Sulphur Mountain and the Canadian Rockies. We’ve completely rebuilt, redesigned and reimagined our mountaintop experience, creating a world-class indoor experience that equals the awe-inspiring ridgetop boardwalk 2900 ft. above Banff. From new restaurants and interactive exhibits to a multisensory theatre and a breathtaking 360-degree rooftop observation deck, the all-new Banff Gondola experience heightens every sense.
