The Banff Mountain Book Festival (October 30-November 3) captures the courage, the passion, and the adventure of mountain stories. The Banff Mountain Film Festival (October 29, November 1-3) delivers the world`s best mountain films and videos and speakers. This year`s festival guests include Erik Weihenmayer, Gretel Ehrlich, Greg Child, Reinhold Messner and many more. The festivals take place on the campus of The Banff Centre, Canada`s only learning centre dedicated to the arts, leadership development, and mountain culture. Located in Canada`s first National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Centre is a picturesque ninety-minute drive west of Calgary, Alberta.
