Discover the Best Banff Tours From Calgary

The town of Banff is located in the Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, west of the city of Calgary. Banff is the first town to be incorporated within a Canadian national park and it is the second highest elevated community in Alberta. The town is considered a resort town and attracts many visitors because of its many hot springs and mountains. The town was first settled in the 1880s and later made into a resort town due to its location. Banff is located near many mountains including Cascade Mountains and Sulphur Mountains, and is situated above the Bow Falls, near the Bow River and Spray River.

Columbia Icefield Tour review. Swipe to see the photos! "An early start but well worth the effort. Quick stop for coffee and a breakfast roll before hitting the Icefield Parkway. First sighting of the day was a huge grizzly bear ambling along on the verge at the opposite side of the road. He posed for some photos then wandered back into the scrub. A guide on our next trip said it could have been “The Boss”, the top bear in the area, which was quite appropriate seeing as our tour bus was also called“The Boss”! Next up was a black bear about an hour further on, again wandering along the roadside but didn’t have time to stop for a chat and scarpered off pretty quickly. Then we got to the foot of the glacier where we stopped for lunch whilst waiting for our slot on the ice bus. Spent about 30 minutes on the glacier itself then headed to the Skywalk which proved jawdropping. A quick regroup and we set of for the return to Banff. Just as we were starting to doze off Max our guide and driver." Jeff, 29th May. Thank you!
