Seeing that I regularly travel to Banff, Alberta, I should be able to assist you in choosing the best Banff Travel Deal, Banff Hotel or Activity. I usually travel to Lake Louise or Banff in the winter, seeing as I am an avid skier. Either way, the resort is in operation all year round and it is always a good time to enjoy the Canadian lifestyle. You have definitely come to the right place if you are seeking information on the some of North America’s top golf and ski resorts.

Banff is located just over an hour drive away from Calgary, Alberta. There are three mountains to ski on in the area; Norquay, Sunshine and Lake Louise. Each ski hill is within a one hour drive from Banff. There are several Banff golf courses but the most famous golf course is Kananaskis and the Fairmont Banff Springs course. Whether you are looking for summer or winter sports or just a Banff holiday, there is generally vacancy and travel deals in Banff to take advantage of.

Below is a list of available Banff deals as well as my top 4 favorite luxury hotels.

1. Fairmont Banff Springs: Stay at the famous and exclusive Fairmont Banff Springs for your winter holiday and enjoy free nights! Stay 4 nights, only pay 3 and get an additional $100 Food and Beverage Credit when you book before November 16, 2009.

2. The Rimrock: This hotel has the only four diamond restaurant in Banff and has a 5 Star hotel rating. Seeing the hotel is situated directly across the street from the Banff hot springs and has an outdoor ice rink, it is truly a great property for the kids over the winter period. If you book this property by November 15, 2009, you will receive 20% off all stays after December 23, 2009.

3. The Fox Hotel: For a reasonably priced Banff vacation I would highly recommend The Fox. This hotel is up to date and quite modern. It is great for a winter family vacation or for a nice romantic getaway. It is also one of the few accommodations which offer 2 bedroom suites.

4. Hidden Ridge: If you want a fairly inexpensive Banff vacation for the whole family then I would urge global travelers to check out this property located in Tunnel Mountain. All suites are very spacious with full kitchens, wood fireplace, private balcony and large flat screen TVs. Several tour operators will offer discounted lift tickets and activities. This generally occurs when you book your Banff hotel packages with them. A lift ticket is good at any of the three mountains in the area.

There are many winter activities to do in Banff. One activity that is gaining tons of interest from travelers the dog sledding. This is an experience that is quite unique to Canada. It takes you into the backcountry of Alberta, with a dog team in tact, to allow you to experience a traditional Canadian outback adventure. Other popular activities during the winter are snowmobiling, heli skiing, ice climbing, ice walks, ice fishing and the occasional sleigh ride.

There are also plenty of things to do in Banff in the summer. Banff is truly a golfers paradise. Aside from that, there is whitewater rafting, ziptreking and fantastic fishing. You can also experience Banffs nature trips where you can see wildlife such as grizzly bears, wolves, eagles, ram, and mountain lions.

Banff is a fantastic resort in all four seasons and you really cannot go wrong with selecting it as your travel destination. Personally, I have yet to experience everything Banff has to offer, however I certainly have done most of it and can give you some fair insight. No matter what you ultimately choose, you will be impressed with the diversity of what Banff has to offer.
