PARKS, TRAILS AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Travel Banff Canada contains information about hiking, cycling, mountain biking, skiing, snowshoeing, paddling, wildlife viewing, driving and other outdoor activities.

Outdoor activities involve inherent risks.

Conditions in the Canadian Rockies can change rapidly due to weather, snow, ice, wildlife, wildfire, trail damage, closures, avalanche conditions and other hazards.

You are responsible for:

assessing your own skills, fitness and experience;
checking current trail, road and weather conditions;
checking official closures and warnings;
carrying appropriate equipment;
complying with park regulations;
obtaining permits where required;
understanding wildlife and avalanche risks where applicable; and
obtaining professional guiding or instruction where appropriate.

Nothing on the Website should be considered professional guiding, medical, safety or emergency advice.

Travel Banff Canada may provide information about wildlife viewing and wildlife safety.

Wild animals are unpredictable.

Wildlife locations, sightings and behaviour cannot be guaranteed.

You are responsible for complying with Parks Canada, Alberta Parks and other applicable wildlife regulations and maintaining appropriate distances from wildlife.

Never rely solely on information from Travel Banff Canada when making decisions involving wildlife safety.

Much of the content on Travel Banff Canada is based on our personal experience as local residents exploring Banff National Park and the surrounding Canadian Rockies.

Your experience may differ from ours.

Statements about destinations, accommodations, attractions, restaurants, hikes, tours, transportation services or products reflect our experience or opinion at the time the content was prepared.

Businesses, services and destinations can change over time.

You are responsible for reviewing those terms before completing a transaction.

You are responsible for providing accurate information about your trip.

Our recommendations may depend on factors including:

travel dates;
accommodation;
transportation;
reservations;

restaurant availability;
shuttle availability;

CUSTOM TRIP PLANNING

Travel Banff Canada may offer custom itinerary or trip-planning services.

The exact scope, deliverables, price, revision policy and other terms of a custom-planning service may be specified separately at the time of purchase.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, custom trip planning does not mean that Travel Banff Canada acts as a travel agent, tour operator or booking agent.

You remain responsible for booking and paying third-party providers directly unless otherwise agreed in writing.

A custom itinerary is based on information available and circumstances known when it is prepared.

Travel conditions may change between the date the itinerary is prepared and the date of travel.

You are responsible for checking current conditions, closures, reservations, schedules and official requirements before and during your trip.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY

For paid travel-planning services, you are responsible for reviewing the recommendations and itinerary provided to you.

If you notice an apparent error or something that does not match information you previously provided, you should contact us promptly.

You remain responsible for deciding whether a recommendation is suitable for you and your travelling party.

ACCESSIBILITY, HEALTH AND MOBILITY INFORMATION

If you provide information about mobility, accessibility, dietary restrictions, health considerations or other personal circumstances for the purpose of trip planning, we will use that information to help tailor our recommendations.

We are not medical professionals or accessibility specialists.

Descriptions of trails, attractions or activities are based on available information and our experience and may not account for every individual’s needs.

You are responsible for determining whether an activity or facility is appropriate for you and for confirming accessibility information directly with the relevant provider where necessary.

The applicable policy will be provided on the relevant sales page, booking page or checkout process.

Digital products may be non-refundable once access or download has been provided, except where required by law or where otherwise stated.

Consultations and custom-planning services may have separate cancellation, rescheduling or refund conditions based on the amount of work already completed or the notice provided.

Where specific cancellation or refund terms are presented at the time of purchase, those terms form part of your agreement with us.
