Cherished by Canadians, Banff National Park is renowned around the world as a protected paradise with 6641 square km of mountains, forests, and lakes to explore. But in the middle of this vast wilderness you will also discover Banff and Lake Louise, two small communities that literally open their doors to the world.
Our home is your home, at least while you are here. We have a distinctive mountain lifestyle, a deep respect for natural surroundings and at least one item of clothing made of soft, cozy fleece. The local history is celebrated, and we gather for community events and annual festivals, whether it is carving frozen ice in winter or throwing open the doors of our heritage homes for a weekend each summer. Meet us at the pub, the theatre or on the ski slopes. Real people live here.
