About Banff National Park

Banff National Park is Canada’s first national park, established in 1885. From Banff’s humble beginnings as a 26 square kilometre hot springs reserve, Banff National Park now consists of 6,641 square kilometres of unparalleled mountain scenery nestled in the heart of the magnificent Canadian Rockies.

Banff is only 150 km away from Calgary. There are many ways to travel from Calgary to Banff but you can get there in about 2 hours if you drive yourself. Another option is traveling from Vancouver to Banff by train. The Rocky Mountaineer and VIA rail tours offer the every traveler unparalleled views of the Canadian Rockies. Not to mention the comfort of the train in which you are riding, or the first-class dining available to you as you go.

Each year, millions of visitors come to Banff to marvel at the emerald waters of Lake Louise, walk amongst the flower-filled heavens at Sunshine Meadows, and drive beneath the towering jagged peaks lining the Icefields Parkway.
