Town of Banff

Walking/Hiking Trails

Walking and biking are the perfect way to explore Banff. Just minutes from downtown, you can enjoy the solitude of a quiet forest, watch a family of Canada geese paddling up the river, or even climb a mountain.

Most townsite trails connect with Banff National Park trails outside the town boundaries, giving you opportunities for hikes or rides of various lengths.
