Please click here to visit the Rimrock Resort web site. "Built on the side of Sulphur Mountain, the resort is nestled high above the picturesque Town of Banff in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The Rimrock Resort is casually elegant, offering simply breathtaking views from all rooms... rugged, snow-capped peaks and lush, tree-filled alpine valleys. The Resort's green marble and sandy limestone exterior augment a pastoral blue and green colour scheme, playing off of the surrounding area's trees, sky, snow and rock. Elk, deer and bighorn sheep regularly visit the town site and the Rimrock's courtyard. It's not unusual to see these majestic animals just feet away. At the Rimrock Resort, we strive to make your stay a pleasant one with attention to details such as complimentary shuttle service to and from downtown Banff, Concièrge service for specific individual needs, Fitness & Spa and convenient shopping right in the resort." - Excerpt from the leisure section of the Rimrock Resort web site. |
