The town of Banff is located in the mountainous Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.
Whether you're visiting in winter or summer, a holiday in Banff offers something to do all year round. In winter you can hit the slopes at the ski resorts nearby. Sunshine Village, Ski Norquay and Lake Louise Mountain Resort are all located within the national park and offer excellent facilities for that perfect ski holiday. There are also many other snow related adventures to try out such as ice climbing and heli hiking.
In summer Banff certainly doesn't turn into a sleepy town. At that time of year it's a convenient base for activities such as hiking, climbing and biking. North of Banff lies Lake Minnewanka which is surrounded by lots of extensive hiking trails. It's also an extremely scenic spot for fishing and boating trips; jaw dropping views are guaranteed.
In the centre of Banff, you'll find the Banff Park museum which houses mounted animals, plants and minerals that normally can be found in the wild in Banff National Park. The Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum offers a fun way to learn more about the history and traditions of Native Americans from this region.
