Banff National Park

#Travel Guide Practical Tips and Accommodation Information for Banff (Accommodation and Transportation) Banff National Park is vast, so efficient planning is essential. Banff Village is the hub for accommodations and amenities within the park, offering a variety of options, from relatively affordable lodging to the luxurious Fairmont Hotel. Canmore, just outside Banff Village, is a popular alternative, offering more reasonable rates and easy access to Banff. The most important transportation tip is access to Moraine Lake. Currently, private vehicle access is strictly restricted, so you must book a shuttle bus (Parks Canada Shuttles) in advance or take a connecting shuttle from Lake Louise. Parking is a challenge, so public transportation (Roam Transit) or cycling are convenient options within Banff Village. Park entrance fees are charged per vehicle or per person per day, so purchasing a Park Pass in advance is highly recommended. Especially since the weather in Banff is so changeable, even in summer, packing layers of waterproof and windproof clothing is a must for your #Canada trip.
