Banff is situated around Lake Louise in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Hot springs bubble at the base of Sulphur Mountain, high alpine meadows are covered in wild flowers, and wildlife abounds. Mountain peaks, jade green lakes, unusual gorges, canyons, rock formations, and lush valleys characterize the land.
The weather in the Canadian Rockies is variable due to the high elevation and rugged topography. Cool, crisp air and warm, sunny days are typical of autumn. Warming Chinook winds can bring spring-like conditions in winter, while spring offers weather suitable for both skiing and golfing. The summer climate is warm and pleasant with low humidity, and daylight hours that stretch until 11:00pm.
