The Best Local Information on Banff is Insider Information
Banff is the jewel of the Canadian Rockies. From the unparalleled mountain scenery, abundant wildlife, outstanding outdoor activities - including world class skiing, snowboarding, and hiking - the historic Fairmont Banff Springs and Chateau Lake Louise hotels, and so much more, this national park is a destination that visitors never forget and locals love to call their own.
There is something in the park and in the town centre for everyone in every season. Not interested in spending the day knee deep in powder at one of the three ski resorts? No problem: spend it getting mudded, massaged, and pampered at one of the many fine spas in town. Have you taken in all the breathtaking mountain vistas you can handle during your day hiking? No problem there either: just take a dip in the hot springs, head out for an unforgettable meal, and then take in an opera, play or symphony performance.

Find out the secrets of a local, check off items on the must do list, shop until you drop, indulge in a night or two at the Fairmont Banff Springs, the Chateau Lake Louise, or another of the fine Banff hotels, dine out at one of the many restaurants, or commune with nature on the ski slopes or golf courses. We also have other sought after information on other happenings, including the celebrity sports invitational - Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Banff Waterkeeper Alliance Fundraiser.
