Banff and Lake Louise

Banff, Canada

One of the most beautiful spots on earth, Banff and Lake Louise are a magnificent blend of glaciers, jagged peaks, forests, and lakes combined with wide open slopes, expansive snow-laden bowls, unsurpassed dry (Rocky Mountain) powder and thrilling drop-offs. Banff is a small, attractive, frontier town famous for its railway history and wildlife. It is a genuinely unspoilt resort in the middle of the National Park. Lake Louise is a smaller village that also boasts spectacular scenery, earning recognition as the ‘Jewel of the Rockies’.
