At 1384 m (4540 ft) above sea level, Banff is "Canada's Highest Town". It's a unique place to visit, let alone live. From a sleepy summer resort town that used to close its doors in the winter months, Banff has now grown to be a year-round attraction. |
People from all over the world are drawn to Banff each year, whether it's for the restaurants, shops, museums, cultural activities, or adventures in the wilderness. On Banff's bustling main avenue, virtually every language can be heard, yet only minutes away from all the action, a quiet walk along the banks of the Bow River reminds you that the town is located inside Canada's premier national park and a United Nations World Heritage Site! |
Situated in the heart of Banff National Park in Alberta's Rocky Mountains, Banff is a picturesque mountain town located 1.5 hours from Calgary and just a short trip from the mountain areas of Lake Louise. I spent about an hour in Banff, but wow are there many things to see...the views are breathtaking!!! |

Hi Barry! Any suggestions for an upcoming trip to the Canadian Rockies? | doreenellen Tue Nov 23, 2004 19:52 UTC
I agree Banff is beautiful along with the rest of Canada. Lovely photos. The scenery is breathtaking as we have just found out. | matcrazy1 Mon Apr 12, 2004 07:42 UTC
Beautiful pictures! Nature and too many tourists, maybe good place for VT-meeting (despite it's far). | bugalugs Sat Oct 5, 2002 18:53 UTC
