The Banff National Park contains some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the World. The wilderness is pristine and inspirational. There is a naturally spectacular vista around every corner: soaring mountains, icy glaciers, wide rushing rivers and beautiful lakes, tree covered hills and the odd hot spring amidst it all.
Within all this scenic splendour can be found a huge array of animal life. Elk walk the snow covered streets of Banff village as casually as skiers and snowboarders, while moose, deer and bear wander the park at will, and rivers teem with great fishing opportunities.
Banff Village
Most visitors to the region base themselves in the World class resort town of Banff, where they can soak up the atmosphere in a great choice of bars, nightclubs and restaurants. If retail therapy is the order of the day, the malls are bursting with name brands that should do the trick. The variety in Banff is endless and there is something for every taste and budget.
Lured by the wilderness, the skiing, and the variety of outdoor activities, people from all over the world are drawn to Banff National Park each year. They venture into the area looking for their slice of the Banff experience, whether it's in the restaurants, shops, museums, cultural activities, or adventures in the wilderness, and of course the world class ski destination.
There’s always plenty to do in Banff when you need a rest from the incredible skiing:
- Dogsledding
- Heli-skiing
- Snowmobiling
- Torchlight dinner
- Ice Skating
- Cross Country Skiing
- Sleigh Rides
