About Banff

   

Located in the heart of Banff National Park, one of four adjoining parks that protect the spectacular landscape of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the resort town of Banff offers a true Rockies experience. From the town’s beginning as a railway siding, and then as a world-renowned ski resort, Banff has now grown to be a year-round vacation destination.

Whether for the restaurants, shops, cultural activities, or adventures in the wilderness, people from all over the world come in search of the Banff experience. Virtually every language can be heard on Banff’s bustling main avenue and only minutes away from all the action, a quiet walk along the banks of the Bow River reminds you of the unique appeal of Banff National Park, a United Nations World Heritage Site.


From a soak in a natural hot spring to an afternoon of shopping, from a visit to a world-class spa to an invigorating forest hike, Banff is a great place to unwind and enjoy nature with all the amenities of a resort town.
