Itineraries
We help you find the stories you came for, and the stories you didn’t expect.
From iconic Banff experiences to quieter moments off the usual path, our team is here to help you make the most of your time in the mountains. Whether you’re looking for local recommendations, seasonal activities, scenic viewpoints, or a memorable meal close to home, we’ll point you toward the places and experiences that make your stay feel truly personal.
Juniper Bistro
A visit to Banff isn’t complete without experiencing the Juniper Bistro.
Set against sweeping views of Mt. Rundle and the Sundance Range, it offers far more than a memorable meal. Here, every dish tells a story of the Rockies, celebrating regional ingredients, seasonal flavours, and the creativity of Executive Chef Sergio’s modern New Canadian cuisine.
From thoughtful plant-rich menus and artfully crafted cocktails to evenings spent beside the warmth of the patio firepits, the Juniper Bistro invites guests to slow down, connect with the landscape, and savour a side of Banff that feels both authentic and unexpected. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to the mountains you love, it’s a dining experience that deserves a place on every Banff itinerary.
