its exceptional natural beauty, wildlife, and
abundant landforms. The town has 130 bars
and restaurants, museums, art galleries, shopping, and world famous hot springs. It services the ski areas of Lake Louise, Sunshine
Village, and Mt. Norquay, which is as good as
it gets for skiers, snowboarders, and outdoor
enthusiasts seeking winter adventures. One
lift pass will give access to the three ski areas
and a shuttle to get to them. People have their
choice of staying in Banff at the Fairmont
Banff Springs Hotel or stay in town at the
Ptarmigan Inn, Banff Park Lodge, or Bow
