Banff
Head from Calgary to Banff, the birthplace of Canada’s national parks system.
Cave and Basin National Historic Site
This site has held significance for Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial. Three railway workers stumbled upon it in 1883, and the events that followed resulted in Canada’s first national park. It’s now a gathering place to connect visitors to the land and share stories of conservation. The Thermal Waters Pass is available for discounted combined entry at Cave and Basin and Banff Upper Hot Springs.
Banff Gondola
Experience a world of adventure and beauty at the summit of Banff’s Sulphur Mountain. Exploration abounds at the gondola, from a theatre and interpretive centre inside to epic snowy views from the rooftop deck and mountain boardwalk outside.
Lunch at Sky Bistro
Overlooking Banff on the summit of Sulphur Mountain, Sky Bistro serves locally inspired cuisine paired with panoramic views of six Rocky Mountain ranges. Ride to the top aboard the Banff Gondola before enjoying dishes inspired by Canadian culinary traditions, made from fresh regional ingredients.
