Banff National Park

Why Visit

Where Every View Feels Unreal

Banff is rightfully ranked as the best attraction in Canada by many. The country’s oldest national park, established in 1885, is as much a piece of Canadian history as a natural beauty. It is a wild but generally accessible wilderness that aims to serve everyone, from bus tour seniors to ardent mountaineers, and mostly succeeds in doing so through Banff tour packages. Over the course of its 140-year existence, Banff National Park, the third-oldest national park in the world and a piece of Canadian history, has successfully balanced easy access with cautious environmental preservation.

Top Things to Do

Hike amongst the Healy Meadows

Because of its summer gondola, Sunshine Meadows may contain Banff’s most accessible subalpine flower meadows. However, Healy Meadows, which borders British Columbia (BC) and Alberta on the Continental Divide, is just as beautiful and less crowded. The only major point is that you have to hike through woodland for many kilometers to get there. The prize is a vast, open landscape of peaks, hills, and lakes surrounded by an uninterrupted carpet of flowers, including red paintbrush, yellow aster, and purple fleabane.

Having tea alongside Lake Agnes

The best wilderness teahouse in Canada, Lake Agnes Teahouse, is 3.5 km (2.2 miles) away, and it takes some grunt work to get there. The trail starts on the sacred shores of Lake Louise and climbs steadily. But once you’re parked next to Lake Agnes, where the quaint wooden teahouse is shaded by a large mountain cirque, you may have the cutest cup of coffee in Canada, along with some sweet treats.

Goat Creek Tail Mountain Biking

The Goat Creek Trail is Banff’s all-encompassing off-road cycling experience, connecting the two mountain towns of Banff and Canmore via a peaceful back path that undulates for 19km (12 miles) along the western base of the Mt Rundle massif. Families, weekend warriors, and those without advanced cycling skills can all complete it despite its rugged and bumpy nature. It begins high above Canmore at the Ha Ling trailhead and gradually descends into Banff Town before emerging close to the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel.

Ski into the Skoki Lodge

If you are looking for the best thing to do in Banff in summer, this is the ideal option. The Skoki, one of the oldest backcountry ski lodges in North America, is located 11 kilometers (7 miles) northeast of the Lake Louise ski resort in a wilderness region with remote lakes, peaks, and meadows. Built in 1931, the log cabin-style lodge is a national historic landmark that offers lodging as well as renowned fortifying cuisine.
