Begin your "Banff Experience" at the HI-Banff Alpine Centre 

THIS IS YOUR HOLIDAY, this is your life.
Whether you have come to relax and get away or you have arrived in Banff to settle in for the season with a new job and new friends, the HI-Banff Alpine Centre Hostel has the activities you are looking for in a mountain resort hostel.  Nobody should ever find themselves sitting alone in  their room. Our in-house Activities Coordinator has something planned every day to get you out and about, making new friends and trying something different.

Banff is about exploring and challenging yourself and stepping outside of your normal comfort zone.  This is your opportunity to take a chance and get out there!

The HI-Banff hostel front desk can help you plan and arrange your custom adventure. 

You'll want to try:

• River Boarding
  
• White Water Rafting
  
• Caving / Ice-Climbing (winter)
  
• Ice Walking (ADVENTUROUS)
  
• Snow Coach (EASY)
  
• Day-hiking
  
• Skiing & Snow Boarding

Our staff are travellers themselves and they know that saving your cash for tonight's beer is important. That's why when it comes to booking your adventures, we know how to find the best deals in town. We work hard to  arrange  the best prices in town at our  Front Desk.
