About Banff Alpine Guides
All of our guides are certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) and/or the International Feeration of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA). We all have years of experience in the mountains around Banff and further afield. It is our goal every day to provide you with an unforgettable adventure in the mountains and to do it safely. Whether it's a half day rock climbing adventure for someone new to the sport or a multi day alpine climbing or ski touring trip with experienced guests, we'll do everything we can to make it the trip of a lifetime!
