The
towns of Banff and Lake Louise |
|
|
The communities of Banff and Lake Louise have been welcoming visitors
for more than a century. Lured by the incredible scenery, guests venture
into the treasured area seeking phenomenal skiing and snowboarding,
a cosmopolitan collection of designer shops and boutiques, a bustling
nightlife, museums, cultural activities, dining and luxurious spas.
Banff’s locals rave about the nightlife and the array of unique
après ski experiences. From live entertainment, to cozy pubs,
upbeat martini lounges, western saloons and modern nightclubs, the
town of Banff offers big city amenities in a friendly mountain setting.
When the fresh mountain air sharpens the appetite, more than 100 bistros,
pubs and fine restaurants will ignite your senses offering a range
of ethnicity and fare to satisfy any palate. On Banff’s bustling
main avenue, virtually every language from German and Japanese to
French and Spanish can be heard. Yet only minutes away from all the
action, it is possible to lose yourself in the tranquility of the
forest along the banks of the Bow River.
Explore the snowy forests by dogsled, or on snowshoes, or enjoy a
sleigh ride as you snuggle under a warm blanket. Other invigorating
winter activities include ice skating, cross country skiing, walks
through frozen canyons studded with phenomenal ice pillars, snowmobile
tours and guided ice climbing.
Romantic and relaxing, the pace in Lake Louise attracts people who
want to savour the finer things in life; a good book in front of a
fireplace, the stillness of the outdoors, or a quiet walk after dinner.
The surrounding mountain peaks and the sight of grazing wildlife roaming
the streets remind you that you are standing inside Canada’s
most famous National Park and a United Nations World Heritage Site. |
