Banff National Park

Canada’s oldest national park, Banff National Park, is home to surreal turquoise glacial lakes, the iconic Canadian Rockies, quaint mountain villages and Alberta’s best ski resorts. Covering 6,641 square kilometres (2,564 square miles), the park is a vast natural wonderland filled with much to be explored.

Banff National Park is a playground all year round, but the activities are in abundance in winter. Consisting of iconic mountain adventures like hiking, skiing and ice climbing, it is also host to a natural hot spring, ice skating, fat biking, snowshoeing, dogsledding and a range of winter exclusive and wildlife tours.

While the park is enormous, the Banff Sightseeing Gondola makes for an ideal way to take in the sights. Delivering 360-degree panoramic views of the Rockies, the 8-minute ride will maximise your viewing experience, helping you take in as much as you can of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Connecting the SkiBig3 resorts and the hamlet of Lake Louise and Banff township, there is plenty to find in this scenic haven of meadows, forests, valleys, glaciers and more.
