Banff Customer Reviews

Banff is as it seems, a lovely town with lots of shops, restaurants and amenities alongside amazing views and short journeys to great skiing / boarding! The town has a fantastic small community feel with everyone we met being very friendly. The restaurants cater from cheap and cheerful to gourmet, so caters for all tastes. Good retail stores for ski/snowboard gear - we had great service and deals from Rude Boys - as well as clothing and souvenir stores. We would love to return.

It takes a good 20 minutes on the bus from centre of town to reach the bottom of the gondola and then you are another 20 minutes up the gondola. Probably at least an hour and a half from leaving tunnel mountain. We were unlucky the first day with the weather as it 'closed in' and visibility was not very good. Runs are not always groomed and in poor visibility this did cause us some issues. However on better days it was easier to select routes down the mountain. Recommend taking packed lunch daily as the facilities catered very well for this. Slopes very busy at weekends. The town of Banff was lovely and had a variety of eating places. We did a Johnston Canyon Ice walk with Discover Banff Tours which was very interesting and informative.
