My general commentary on Banff and choosing the best Banff Travel Deal, Activity or Banff Hotel may be of assistance to you, seeing that I am a regular traveler to Banff. Due to the fact that I am a skier, I usually travel to Banff or Lake Louise in the winter time. However, it is a good option to come to this resort anytime during the year as it truly is an all season Canadian lifestyle resort. If you have been considering Banff, you have definitely come to the right place for information on one of North America's top ski and gold destinations.
Located just over an hours drive from Calgary, Alberta, is the town of Banff. Within the immediate area of the town are three main ski hills: Sunshine Village, Lake Louise and Mount Norquay. Each of these ski resorts are approximately a one hour drive from Banff. There are also many golf courses in the area, with the most popular ones being Kananaskis and the Fairmont Banff Springs. There are fantastic Banff travel deals to take advantage of, whether you are seeking a winter or summer vacation.
Below you will find my 4 favorite Banff deals and luxury hotels in Banff.
1. Fairmont Banff Springs: Stay at the famous and exclusive Fairmont Banff Springs for your winter holiday and enjoy free nights! Stay 4 nights, only pay 3 and get an additional $100 Food and Beverage Credit when you book before November 16, 2009.
3. Rimrock Hotel: This property has a 5 Star rating and is the only 4 Diamond restaurant in Banff. This is a fantastic hotel for the children as it has an ice rink and is located right across the street from the Banff Hot Springs. All bookings secured by November 15, 2009 will receive a 20% discount of your accommodation.
3. Fox Hotel: If you are looking for a moderately priced Banff holiday then I would highly recommend the Fox Hotel. This Banff accommodation is modern and very nice for romantic getaways or a winter family vacation. This is one of the few hotels in Banff that offer two bedroom suites.
4. Hidden Ridge. For a relatively inexpensive accommodation in Banff, I would suggest travelers to check out this property located in Tunnel Mountain. The suites at this property included large flat screen televisions, wood burning fireplaces, private balconies, full kitchens and are very spacious. Discounted lift tickets and activities will also be offered by select tour operators. This will usually only occur if you book a hotel package with them. Lift tickets are valid at any of the three mountains and is generally the best deal.
Banff has many great winter activities aside from skiing. One of which is dog sledding. This is quite a unique experience to Canada and one which is gaining alot of interest from international and domestic travelers. This activity will take you right into the backcountry of Alberta and will allow you the ultimate traditional outback Canadian adventure. Besides dog sledding, other popular winter activities include heli skiing, ice walks, ice climbing, snowmobiling, sleigh rides and ice fishing.
There are also plenty of things to do in Banff in the summer. Banff is truly a golfers paradise. Aside from that, there is whitewater rafting, ziptreking and fantastic fishing. You can also experience Banffs nature trips where you can see wildlife such as grizzly bears, wolves, eagles, ram, and mountain lions.
Banff is a fantastic resort in all four seasons and you really cannot go wrong with selecting it as your travel destination. Personally, I have yet to experience everything Banff has to offer, however I certainly have done most of it and can give you some fair insight. No matter what you ultimately choose, you will be impressed with the diversity of what Banff has to offer.
