Known as the "Castle in the Wilderness," the Banff Springs Hotel is the elegantly appointed hub of a wheel of lodges and cabins built high in the backcountry, amidst a panorama of canyons, waterfalls and glaciers. Visitors travel by helicopter to remote Mount Assiniboine Lodge, by horseback to the Plain of Six Glaciers Teahouse and with expert climbers to Abbott Pass Hut, perched precariously on the spine of the continental divide.
