Jobs in Banff – HI Alpine Hostel Job Seekers Package

Banff National Park, Alberta

Like any town that welcomes a lot of tourists every year, Banff needs a lot of seasonal workers. Generally these workers range between ages 18-30. Because of the ease of working visas for Australians and New Zealanders, a lot of these jobs are taken by the Southern Hemisphere folk with British and Canadians making up most of the other numbers. So where do you start when you get to Banff with no apartment, job or deodorant? The best advice is to go straight to the experienced in one of the most beautiful settings in Banff – the HI Banff Alpine.

The Ice Wall is just one of the cool things you can do while staying in the Banff HI.

Located on beautiful and stunning Tunnel Mountain, it is a little out of the way of town but this is not a problem for two reasons. Firstly, it is one of the nicest spots to live in Banff and also one of the cheaper options. Secondly, you are provided with free public transport so getting around won’t be a problem. Regardless of what season you arrive in Banff, the staff will do their best to hook you up with employment. One example is the Job Seekers Package which gives 2 weeks accommodation, a welcome beverage, direct job info board, one guaranteed interview with a local employer, I hour free internet, free WIFI, personalized voice mail inbox, help printing and faxing and unused nights are refundable. This all costs $322. It is the perfect package to get your feet on the ground so you don’t have to stress too much about having a local phone number, safety deposits, etc immediately and it also gives you the chance to meet some great people.

These rates may change through different seasons so keep an eye on the website or give the staff a call. On the less serious side of things, there is constant entertainment in the hostel bar such as open mike, margarita night, live music, pool competitions and more. Having personally stayed in the cabins just outside the main building, I can highly recommend them to anyone looking for a comfortable stay without paying through the nose. Right outside the door, the beautiful nature of the Rockies and Banff is literally on your doorstep.

Romantic Accommodations of the Canadian Rockies – Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge

Jasper National Park, Alberta

I have had the pleasure of staying in some of the most beautiful hotels in Banff, Jasper and all over the Canadian Rockies but none compare to the luxury that is the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. Nestled away in the protective mountains and located in the midst of sparkling lakes with elk grazing by the water, this is a very special hotel very worthy of its big reputation. It has one of Canada’s best and most picturesque golf courses, an outdoor heated swimming pool with stunning views and some really unique and beautiful cabin accommodations. If you are looking to treat yourself in Jasper National Park, the Fairmont is just the ticket.

The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is one of the most beautiful in the world.

The best part about staying in the Jasper Park Lodge is that once you step outside your door, you are in nature. On the first morning I woke up and opened the curtains to find Elk grazing right outside. The morning newspaper had already been delivered to my door and the complimentary coffee was on the brew. The view of the gorgeous semi-frozen lake with the impressive mountain background was enough to take the breath away. Waking up in a Jasper Park Lodge cabin is really the best way to start your day.

The hotel itself is everything you would expect from a top quality accommodation. All of the facilities such as the pool, games room and shopping area are all kept in superb condition and the staff are extremely friendly. It is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family vacation or even a business retreat. Whether you are arriving from an international destination or just Edmonton, the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is a really unique and memorable place to recharge the batteries.

Guest Ranch Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. Banff, Alberta

Banff National Park, Alberta

The Canadian Rockies and its surrounds provide the perfect backdrop for a ranch, resort or lodge. Often when walking around towns like Banff and Canmore, you feel like you are walking around in a beautiful water colour painting. Calgary can get a bit stressful at times with parking meters, traffic lights and high rise buildings taking over the skyline. Even Banff can, at times feel a little commercial. This is why a ranch like Rafter Six Ranch is so remarkable. Only 30 minutes from Banff or 45 minutes from Calgary, it is like crossing into a whole new world. Once you cross the grill, you enter a serene world where lazy dogs lie in the sun and horses run free around the grounds.

Horseback riding in the Canadian Rockies is an unforgettable experience.

The Rafter Six Ranch is a place full of stories of the past but packed full of adventures for the present. Whether you are looking to just relax for a few days close to the city but feeling like you are in the wild or something more – they have it all. There are guided horseback trail rides, overnight pack trips through the picturesque Bow Valley Provincial Park, a thrilling White Water Raft Trip down the Kananaskis River, a unique and challenging Adventure High Ropes Course in the tree tops ending with a zipline and also some great hiking and biking trails.

This is one Guest Ranch resort of the Canadian Rockies that simply needs to be seen to be believed. It really is surprising that after a very short drive from the city or Banff, you are all of a sudden thrown into this ranch wonderland. Dominant snow-capped mountains frame every gorgeous scene around this lodge. Aside from its aesthetics, Rafter Six has the perfect facilities for a wedding, corporate meeting or even a family reunion. It even has its own wedding chapel so everything can take place within the idyllic grounds. With the summer fast approaching, there has never been a better time to get back in the saddle!
