What Are the Best Things to Do in Banff National Park?

Posted on October 15, 2011January 22, 2014 by K. Gordon

BANFF, ALBERTA—Canada—There is never a moment where there is “nothing” to do in Banff as the area is constantly alive and buzzing with all kinds of fun activities at any time and season of the year.

The Banff Upper Hot Springs is always accessible and allows visitors to experience nature’s warmth via its hot mineral outdoor pool even during the coldest time of the year.



If you want a bird’s eye view of the Canadian Rockies, take the Banff Gondola—an eight-minute ride of more than 7,000 feet which leads to the peak of Sulphur Mountain.

Then, feast on gourmet dining options offered by the legendary Banff Springs Hotel – a castle-like accommodation that dates back to the year 1880.

It is impossible for visitors to not find themselves busy with the slew of attractions available in the area. Restaurants are a-plenty, with some serving your favorite cuisine—be it Mexican or Irish and anything in between.

The most popular and obvious thing to do in Banff is snowboarding and skiing during the winter and hiking all through the summer.

If you want to know more of what to see, do and enjoy in the Canadian Rockies, go to Canadian Rockies now.
