Town of Banff

Walking/Hiking Trails

Walking or biking is a great way to explore Banff’s beautiful surroundings. 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.
