There is a lot to do in the magical town for anyone planning a winter vacation. Some options include staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel where you can take in the picturesque landscapes right from your hotel room, take a gondola ride, go skiing or snowboarding, or take a canoe ride on Lake Louise.
Once you're done with some of those fun activities, you can go shopping and grab a bite to eat along Banff Avenue.
With so much to do in the beautiful town, it's no wonder that celebrities who visit end up loving it so much.
From High School Musical actress Ashley Tisdale to The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal, actors and musicians can't get enough of the Canadian mountain town.
If you plan on having your cozy getaway in Banff this winter here are some celebs to watch out for in case they come back for another visit and the many spots they have raved about.
Ashley Tisdale
High School Musical actress Ashley Tisdale visited Banff in 2019 and it looks like she did not waste any time during her stay.
"In complete awe of this beautiful place!" the actress and singer wrote in a caption alongside photos of herself standing in front of Lake Louise.
The actress posted several other photos on her social media from the trip, including one where she is in a canoe on the beautiful lake.
Tisdale also went hiking during her trip and she proved it could be done in style as she completed the trek in Louis Vuitton boots!
Pedro Pascal
@etalkctvPetition to make Daddy Pedro Pascal an honourary Canadian?! 🤚 Pascal opened up about filming ‘The Last Of Us’ in Calgary, and what made the show feel Canadian. #TheLastOfUs premieres January 15 at 9pm ET on @cravecanada. #pedropascal #pedropascaledit #hbo #canada #alberta #bellaramsey
Pedro Pascal had nothing but great things to say about his time filming The Last Of Us in Alberta.
Pascal has previously acknowledged that Canmore was his favourite town in Alberta, but he did also say he loved visiting Banff.
During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in April 2022,The Mandalorian actor made suggestions of what one can do in the Alberta town and he mentioned going to Lake Louise and dog sledding.
"You gotta go to Banff," Pascal told Corden at the time.
While the first season of The Last Of Us was filmed around Alberta, it was recently announced that the cast will be heading to Vancouver to film Season 2.
Hopefully the cast loves British Columbia just as much as Alberta and shares pictures from all the places they get to visit!
Daisy Edgar-Jones
Just like Pascal, it looks like Normal People actress Daisy Edgar-Jones also enjoyed visiting Banff.
The British actress spent some time in Alberta while she worked on the FX mini-series Under the Banner of Heaven.
During the same appearance as Pascal on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2022, the British actress expressed how much she loves the Canadian mountain town.
"Banff is the most beautiful place," she said.
Edgar-Jones also joked about the name of the town when Corden said he wasn't a fan.
"We actually made a video when we were in Banff where we just went to different places and said 'Banff,'" she told the late night host.
