Plan your visit

Some Parks Canada places have begun a safe, gradual reopening of some outdoor areas and services, including camping. Visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and be well-prepared for their visit. Details here.

Home to glacial lakes and stunning mountain peaks, it's no wonder Banff National Park is an adventure seekers paradise! It's important to plan ahead before vising Banff National Park.

The best Banff National Park experience happens when you step out of your vehicle and explore the park! Visit Explore the Park for more information on transit and parking. This summer Parks Canada, in partnership with Banff Lake Louise Tourism and the Town of Banff are pleased to offer visitors car free options to explore Banff National Park.
