Banff is the larger of the two towns in Banff National Park, nestled in the mountains. The park is easily accessible for International travelers via Calgary or Edmonton International Airports, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Canadian Rockies offers some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, and Banff National Park is home to three outstanding ski resorts, all within easy drive of the Banff. Driving to the hill is not required, as most hotels offer a ski bus to take you from the hotel to the mountain of your choice and back again. In summer, check out the Cave and Basin Mational Historic Site, Lake Minnewanka, Banff Upper Hot Springs, or the Columbia Icefield Glacier. The Banff Gondola provides visitors with spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies and the town of Banff. Guests will find a restaurant, gift shop, boardwalk, and observation deck at the summit of Sulphur Mountain.

This airborne tour operator offers unique flights over the alpine peaks, mountain valleys and crystal clear lakes that have attracted visitors to this area for decades. The view from the clouds is breathtaking, and Alpine can combine flights with interpretive walks amongst the alpine flora and fauna, or challenging mountain hikes.

Descend into a cave under Grotto Mountain for a unique subterranean adventure. Experienced guides lead half-day tours or full-day expeditions that bring visitors face to face with fossils, calcite formations and glacial deposits. The half-day tour is a relatively easy introduction to the amazing underground cavern system. The full-day Adventure Tour is more exciting; visitors squeeze through tight passageways and rappell into the subterranean abyss. Guides ensure that everyone is safe, and all equipment is provided.
