Castle Mountain Chalets

“Seeming to stand out in the centre of the valley is a very remarkable mountain…which looks exactly like a giant castle!” -Sir James Hector Hector was part of a Canadian Pacific Railway expedition that helped open up the Canadian Rocky Mountains by rail for settlement and adventure in the late 1800s. Reminiscent of expeditions of the past, today’s Castle Mountain Chalets guests will hear the sound of steel wheels running across the rails and train whistles in the distance. It will remind them of a simpler time, inspiring them to choose their own pace and their own Banff National Park adventure in this nature lover’s paradise. Located in the heart of Banff National Park, midway between Banff and Lake Louise, you’ll find our chalets a breathtaking year-round escape for groups, couples and families.
