Get to know Banff with Viator

Part of the Rocky Mountains, Banff's claim to fame is its arresting natural scenery—a land threaded with glacier-blue rivers and jewel-like lakes. While the calm and peace of nature are its hallmarks, it’s not all rugged wilderness. Luxury hotels and charming boutiques offer another way to unwind. It's all located within Banff National Park on the traditional territory of a number of First Nations and Métis communities.
