Banff itself is a completely unspoint very attractive frontier town famous for his history and local wildlife. It is a bustling town with pletiful bars, restaurants and shops. The apres-ski is fantastic and combines ski resort life with the Country and Western feel of the area.

Although not as big or busy as Banff, it does have a few bars, restaurants and shops for those looking to take part in a bit of apres-ski.
