Winter sports in Banff can be started from the middle of November, when the snow cover only reaches the optimum height. Banff takes the last visitors at the end of May, and then closes for 5 months. Part of the resort zone in this region is in the oldest homonymous park of Canada. His territory has repeatedly claimed the right to host the Winter Olympics, but thanks to the efforts of environmentalists such a decision was not adopted. This made it possible to preserve unique nature monuments and several hundred endangered species of plants and animals that would have been destroyed during the construction of the Olympic routes.
This place is the most suitable, in terms of a compromise between the cost and quality of the services provided.
