Sustainable Things to Do in Banff

Why choose responsible Banff?

Banff is beautiful, but it is also a busy wildlife habitat for grizzlies, wolves, and elk. Our "Nature Positive" badge here means strict adherence to park rules. We reject operators who bait wildlife or get too close. Instead, we list guided hikes with certified interpreters who carry bear spray and teach you about the geology and biology of the Rockies.

Learn about the indigenous history of the Bow Valley at the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum. Paddle on the turquoise waters of Lake Louise or Moraine Lake using rental canoes, avoiding the parking chaos by using park shuttles. These experiences allow you to witness the grandeur of the mountains without contributing to the congestion that threatens them.
