Banff Holidays

Banff sits at the heart of the Canadian Rockies, surrounded by soaring peaks, turquoise lakes and pine-covered valleys. Explore spectacular landscapes, enjoy year-round outdoor adventures and soak up the atmosphere of this charming alpine town.

• Glacier-Fed Lakes: Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, just outside Banff town in Banff National Park, are unforgettable. It is a amazing to take a canoe at sunrise, and paddle across the glassy waters as the mountains catch the first light.
• Banff National Park: Canada’s oldest national park is brilliant for nature lovers. Here, you can hike through alpine meadows, spot elk, bears and eagles, or take a half-day winter hike to Johnston Canyon’s frozen waterfalls for a quieter, more intimate experience.
• Year-Round Adventure: Winter draws skiers and snowboarders to Sunshine Village and Lake Louise Ski Resort. Then, in summer, explore trails on a bicycle or enjoy a guided backcountry horseback ride, all framed by the Rockies.
• Hot Springs: The Banff Upper Hot Springs are perfect for relaxing. Meanwhile, steam rises from the mineral waters while snow-capped peaks or lush summer greenery surround you.
• The Town of Banff: Walkable and charming, Banff has boutique shops, local cafés and restaurants. Additionally, the town blends a relaxed alpine vibe with a lively sense of community and adventure, making it an ideal base for exploring the mountains.
• Sulphur Mountain: Take a gondola to the summit for panoramic views across the Rockies. Afterwards, follow it with a short hike and a picnic in the alpine air for a peaceful perspective on Banff’s grandeur.
• Wildlife + Scenic Drives: From Bow Valley Parkway to Icefields Parkway, the area is perfect for spotting elk, bears and eagles. Finally, stop at lookout points or take short walks to capture the best photo opportunities.
