The Village of Banff down in the valley, with the Tunnel Mountain in the center here. Around there is mountain peaks everywhere. Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a lot of them. Banff Town itself is already at an altiture of 1400 metres. Cascade Maountain, above the town here, reaches 2998 m.
In the background the Lake Minnewanka.
Banff itself has a few thousands inhabitants. And quite a few tourists, from it position as a gateway to the Canadian Rockies. There can't be so many more, as the town is not allowed to grow beyond it's current borders.

The Fairmont Banff Springs, formerly and commonly known as the Banff Springs Hotel, is a historic hotel located in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The entire town including the hotel, is situated in Banff National Park, a national park managed by Parks Canada. The hotel overlooks a valley towards Mount Rundle, both of which are situated within the Rocky Mountain mountain range. The hotel is located at an altitude of 1,414 metres (4,639 ft).
The hotel opened in 1888 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, as one of the earliest of Canada's grand railway hotels. The hotel property has undergone several stages of growth and redevelopment. The original hotel structure was designed by Bruce Price, with another structure completed in 1914. In 1926, a fire destroyed the original structure on the hotel property, although a replacement structure was later completed in 1928. The building was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1988. The hotel property is presently managed by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts. (Wikipedia)
