Coming in at #15, Banff placed behind other hot spots around the globe including Paris, which took the top spot, Glacier National Park in the US, which came in at #3, and the Swiss Alps.

“If you’re itching to experience the lifestyle of a Swiss skiing village, but don’t want to fork over the cash for a trans-Atlantic flight, consider Banff,” reads the article.
It also added the town is a great spot for “intrepid explorers who prefer to end the day in a nice hotel rather than roughing it at the campgrounds.”
Some of the recommended adventures on the list include skiing at Mount Norquay, checking out the Hoodoos, hiking Stoney Squaw Mountain and biking along Healy Creek.
