THINGS TO DO
Outdoor Sports
If you come to Banff, you must explore the park. Whether you go skiing, snowboarding, canoeing, paddleboarding, or hiking, these mountains aren’t to be missed. Lake Louise is just 30 minutes from the town of Banff, while Lake Moraine is another hour drive into the park. Plenty of trails circumvent both spots, or you can drive up to them and sit by the water. The views you see are jaw-dropping. Just make sure you savor the moment for yourself before you break out your camera.

Spa
Vacation is the time to treat yourself — this is how to do it right. The spa at the Fairmount Banff Springs is the number one spa in Canada. Daily spa access is $79, or comes included with the purchase of a treatment. Sign up for signature treatments such as the Glacial Reflections Facial or an Alpine Aromatherapy Massage.
Sound Baths
For lovers of sound therapy and crystal healing, this is the ultimate Banff experience for you. Surrounded by the majestic Rockies, take in the sounds of nature as you journey to your destination on foot or horseback for a meditative and healing experience.
Banff National Park lives up to the hype. With incredible views, fine dining, and award-winning spas, it’s hard to beat this Albertan oasis. Whether you visit in the winter for the sports, or you visit in the summer for the hiking, it’s always a great time to be in Banff.
