Wonder what it will really be like once you arrive here in Banff?

When you get to Banff, you will be overwhelmed by the rugged beauty of the Canadian Rockies and the pristine environment.

We think that the Bow Valley is a very special place – and we are not alone!

There are tens of organizations and thousands of people in (and outside of) the Bow Valley who are interested in the environment, communities, and businesses that call this valley home.  They plan the events, activities and initiatives that make our communities so dynamic. 

The Bow Valley Mountain Forum website broadcasts community information such as events, community initiatives, volunteer links and more. You are also invited to post your own content on the site as a registered user. This forum aspires to be a repository for everything that the Bow Valley knows about itself, while stimulating collaboration and supporting local organizations.
