Banff Information

Ask the millions of people that come to the Canadian Rockies, a UN protected area that showcases the power and beauty of nature, what they think of Banff and once you have asked them what they saw, ask them what they did. Banff offers 3 world class ski resorts with over 248 runs over 7,700 acres. To ski and snowboard these resorts is a sight to behold. In 2002 Lake Louise was voted number one for scenery and number two for value in all of North America by Skiing Magazine. [more]

The Rocky Mountains were formed 175 million years ago, as the Pacific tectonic plate slowly moved under the North American plate. As this plate moved, it forced all the land mass together, causing this large amount of rock to move upward. As the years passed, the wind, water and glaciers carved out the beautiful formations and caused the mountains to slowly erode. Even today, examples of this can be seen in the Glacier National Park , and the cycle of erosion and growth continues. [more]

Banff has always been a place of explorers, adventurers and pioneers. Little has changed since the days of Tom Wilson and John Brewster, two famous characters that turned Sliding 29, Banff 's original name, into the majestic village that it is today. [more]
