Banff is a beautiful winter wonderland! I will definitely come back to relax the mind. My 10 year old loved it... however it may be harder to hike with smaller children.

4/5 - Good

This is a ski / resort town . IE nothing is cheap . Average meal for two Is 50 ca , also Parking is ruff . Over all every person working in Banff was super nice - great getaway- think spring time would be a zoo . But for our long weekend it great !

5/5 - Excellent

Great skiing and a wonderful ski town. The skiing rivals Vail, the vistas even more stunning and the town is a real ski town, not a contrived “resort.” Not pretentious, not expensive. It’s a Western ski town with a little European, Alpine feel to it.
