Understand

Talk

The people living in this area are Anglophone Canadians and therefore speak English. Canadian National Parks are operated under Federal jurisdiction, and therefore have signs, brochures and (theoretically) all services in French, as well as understandable pictograms. Banff is a major international destination, and the tourist industry recognises the role of international visitors; tourist services are usually available in Japanese and German, and increasingly in languages such as Mandarin and Spanish.

In the Canadian Rockies, Banff townsite is the most foreign-language-friendly, followed closely by Lake Louise. Jasper is the next best bet, with travellers advised to check before travelling to smaller or more remote sites such as Radium, Field, Waterton and Kananaskis.

Get in

By Plane

The closest international airports are in Calgary and Edmonton. Some travellers arrive into Vancouver either fly to the regional airport in Cranbrook or drive to the Rockies.

By Car

Banff is about a 2 hour drive from Calgary. Jasper is about 3 hours from Edmonton. Either one is about a 10 to 12 hour drive from Vancouver. Note that the highways from Vancouver run through alpine passes, and can be closed or slowed due to avalanches, accidents or other such problems. Closures are most common in winter, which is roughly from October to May. Drivers with little or no winter driving conditions are cautioned against long alpine drives in snowy, icy or cold conditions.

By Rail

The Rocky Mountaineer rail service is a beautiful way to get to the Rocky Mountains and to see many spectacular sights from the dome car.

Get around

There are a number of extremely scenic highways through the Rocky Mountains.

• Icefields Parkway connects Banff to Jasper.
