About Banff for Solo Travelers
One of the world's most spectacular solo hiking destinations — the mountains are the whole point, and the traveler community passing through makes it easy to find company when you want it.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Banff is a natural solo hub — hikers and adventurers from everywhere pass through, and hostel common rooms are genuinely social. Most hikes are well-marked and safe solo, though always tell someone your plans for backcountry trails. The Banff Hostel is one of the best places in Canada to meet fellow travelers.
