Special shout out to Brian. He was doing some snow shovelling one morning recently and did an amazing job.

Love this Lodge. Wood burning fireplace- good restaurant on site and close to downtown but far enough away for great vistas! Free parking right in front of your room and lots of storage for your gear. Will stay again when we are back in February.

Banff is a beautiful winter wonderland! I will definitely come back to relax the mind. My 10 year old loved it... however it may be harder to hike with smaller children.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

This is a ski / resort town . IE nothing is cheap . Average meal for two Is 50 ca , also Parking is ruff . Over all every person working in Banff was super nice - great getaway- think spring time would be a zoo . But for our long weekend it great !

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Great skiing and a wonderful ski town. The skiing rivals Vail, the vistas even more stunning and the town is a real ski town, not a contrived “resort.” Not pretentious, not expensive. It’s a Western ski town with a little European, Alpine feel to it.
