Discover the soaring scenery of the Canadian Rockies in Banff which has something for everyone skiing, sightseeing, hiking, shopping, eating, and wildlife spotting.
Nestled among the soaring peaks and pines is Banff National Park in Canada. With Calgary to the east and the shimmering waters of UNESCO listed Lake Louise to the west, Banff is a beautiful slice of Alberta. You can take in sweeping views from the Banff Gondola at Sulphur Mountain and be on the lookout for hoodoos (tall pillars of rock). Outdoor adventure is the name of the game, enjoy active pursuits ranging from horseback riding to kayaking. If you’re visiting Banff in search of adrenaline pumping thrills, hit Kicking Horse River on a white-water rafting trip.
