Banff

  welcome to 

getting here.

Please fly into Calgary International Airport (YYC) and make arrangements for the 90-minute drive to Banff, AB.

We recommend renting a car at the airport or booking the Banff Airporter shuttle service, which has multiple departures throughout the day and private transfers available.

Note: If you are renting a car, you will need a National Park Pass. You can purchase one at the toll booth you’ll drive through on your way to Banff (they accept card or cash), or purchase in advance on their website and print at home. If you miss the toll booth on your way into town, don’t fret! Stop at the Banff Visitor Center between 9 AM and 5 PM to pick one up.

our favorite things to do

 shop. 

Save time to hit the town! Banff is entirely walkable with high end outdoors brands and souvenir shops to explore. Grab some coffee and a sandwich at Wild Flour Bakery, and don’t miss the ice cream at COWS!

   golf. 

Tunnel Mountain Golf Course - Guaranteed to catch the groom here on Saturday morning, check out the world-renowned course right next to the Fairmont! Book your tee time here.

 hike.  

Lake Louise - Famous for it’s electric blue water, this alpine lake is worth the 45 min drive from Banff. The parking lot fills up by sunrise so we recommend booking a shuttle from the Lake Louise Park and Ride (located at the Lake Louise Ski Resort) or making a few loops of dropping folks off to avoid parking!

explore. 

National Parks - Did you know Banff is only 1of 3 national parks in the area? Drive or hike through Yoho National Park (45 mins from Banff) or Jasper National Park (2 hours from Banff).
