Learn more about hotels in Banff

Banff, located in Alberta, Canada, is a historical and scenic resort town nestled within the Banff National Park, at an elevation between 1,400 and 1,630 metres. Initially established in the 1880s following the discovery of natural hot springs by railway workers, the town has evolved into one of Canada's most sought-after tourist destinations. With roots stretching back to its Scottish namesake, Banff is steeped in history and natural beauty, offering a plethora of cultural events such as the Banff World Television Festival and the Banff Mountain Film Festival.

Surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain ranges including Mount Rundle, Sulphur Mountain, Mount Norquay, and Cascade Mountain, the town boasts a rich heritage in winter sports, playing host to the 1991 Winter Deaflympics and numerous Team Canada hockey training camps. The Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity further enriches the region's cultural appeal, attracting visitors and locals alike to its innovative programmes.

When to visit Banff

The ideal time to visit Banff varies depending on the preferred activities. Between June and August, during the summer months, the town offers a host of outdoor adventures, diverse wildlife spotting, and pleasant weather. However, for skiing enthusiasts, the winter months of December to March provide excellent conditions to hit the slopes. To experience the serenity of a snow-covered Banff with fewer crowds, consider visiting in late November or late January.

Nature lovers will delight in witnessing golden larch trees set the landscape ablaze from mid-September to early October. Regardless of the season, always come prepared with layered clothing, as the mountain weather can change rapidly and catch visitors unawares.
