Lush forests, commanding mountains painted lakes, Banff has it all. Alpine meadows, limestone canyons and mineral hot springs surround Banff. Its skyline is dominated by the peaks of Mt. Rundle and Mt. Cascade, part of the Rocky Mountains. Boutiques and restaurants blend with château-style hotels and souvenir shops on Banff Avenue, the main thoroughfare. The Banff National Parks is home to animals including elk and grizzly bears. You can go biking, canoeing and horse-riding in the picturesque Banff National Park. Or you can go on one of the many tours we offer to explore Banff and the Icefield Parkway; enjoy the beautiful vistas of the Banff and Yoho National Park that makes this experience unique.
