Here Are My Recommendations For The Best Banff Activities, Hotels and Banff Travel Deals
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 is a list of my top 4 favorite luxury hotels in Banff and available Banff deals.
1. Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel: If you stay 4 nights, you will only pay for 3 nights. You will also get an additional $100 Food and Beverage Credit if you book by November 16, 2009. Stay at the famous Fairmont Banff Springs for your next vacation and enjoy free nights!
2. The Rimrock: This hotel has the only four diamond restaurant in Banff and has a 5 Star hotel rating. Seeing the hotel is situated directly across the street from the Banff hot springs and has an outdoor ice rink, it is truly a great property for the kids over the winter period. If you book this property by November 15, 2009, you will receive 20% off all stays after December 23, 2009.
3. The Fox Hotel: For a reasonably priced Banff vacation I would highly recommend The Fox. This hotel is up to date and quite modern. It is great for a winter family vacation or for a nice romantic getaway. It is also one of the few accommodations which offer 2 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.
There are many winter activities to do in Banff. One activity that is gaining tons of interest from travelers the dog sledding. This is an experience that is quite unique to Canada. It takes you into the backcountry of Alberta, with a dog team in tact, to allow you to experience a traditional Canadian outback adventure. Other popular activities during the winter are snowmobiling, heli skiing, ice climbing, ice walks, ice fishing and the occasional sleigh ride.
Summer in Banff is also a great time of year. This town is a real golfers dream and there are world class courses available to play. You can also experience the summer in Banff with activities such as ziptreking, fishing, whitewater rafting and nature trips allowing you to view eagles, wolves, rams, mountain lions and even grizzly bears.
Regardless of what you decide to do, Banff is a great all season resort. I personally have yet to experience everything Banff has to offer, however I have done enough to give you some direction as to the highlights. Whatever you choose, you will be impressed of the diversity and what the area has to offer.
