Dress as you would for any ski resort, and bring sunscreen. Summers usually are warm during the day, but it does cool down in the evening, and it can also rain, so pack appropriate attire.
Spring is a great time to visit, with fresh new growth in the meadows.
Though often warm, bring sweaters and rain gear. The same applies to fall, the sun still shines and the air is refreshingly crisp - the colours are incredible. There are three world-famous resort hotels in the Alberta Rockies. Images of the Rockies are often synonymous with those of the Banff Springs Hotel , a castle-like structure that is the focal point of the Banff town site. Full of atmosphere and with an Old World charm, the Banff Springs is a full facility resort that is well worth a visit, even if you are not lucky enough to be staying there.
