Local Attractions in Banff

Welcome to picturesque Banff, unmatched in its natural beauty and Canada's very first national park.

Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984, people travel across the world to experience Banff National Park's craggy mountain peaks, deep canyons, glacier lakes and frigid ice fields and glaciers. The park's diverse wildlife and phenomenal ecological features only add to the area's draw.

The town of Banff is a charming and lively resort mountain town full of opportunity for alpine-lovers. When you're done on the slopes at any one of the three surrounding world-class ski areas or back from a summer's day hike, head back "home" for a quick-change at Charltons Banff Hotel before exploring the vibrant streets of downtown Banff, just a 10-minute walk away.
