Situated 128 km (80 miles) west of Calgary and just inside Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Banff features breathtaking landscapes. Banff National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, and has 6,641 sq. km of mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes. Each year, millions of visitors travel to Banff to marvel at the emerald waters of Lake Louise, walk amongst the flower-filled fields at Sunshine Meadows, and drive beneath the towering jagged peaks lining the Icefields Parkway. Snow-capped mountains, glistening glaciers, and sweeping vistas are part of the allure of Banff National Park. You can enjoy all the comforts of home in the town of Banff, or step out into the wilderness to see the habitats of some of North America's wildest creatures. Banff also has countless restaurants, galleries, and entertainment options available. If shopping is more your style, there are many beautiful stores to choose from.
