We rented a pair of skis from here and the service was excellent. Excellent types of skis for rent and they also have some great ski gear and we bought a pair of boots for our son here who by the way has shoe size 13. Hard to find a fit for that size. The staff was knowledgable and very patient and kind.

When you think of a souvenir shop a tacky shop comes to mind selling mass produced rubbish. This shop however is a breath of fresh air selling lovely gifts made in Canada. The prices are not too high and the products are good quality. Definitely worth a visit.

Rocky Mountain Soap Company

Perfect for gifts, all of our products are handmade in the Canadian Rockies, in our workshop in Canmore. Visit our Banff store or join us in Canmore for a Workshop Tour to see behind the scenes as we hand make the 100% natural, fresh products you find in store.

Reviewed By KimJoMo - Edmonton, Canada

We have been washing our hands so much more nowadays. The bar soap smells so good. We bought a variety of kinds. I also love the kitchen soap. The sales person was helpful. This time I also bought chapstick, a stick to take away the itch of mosquito bites, and some deodorant for a teenage boy. If it helps him to smell better they will have a customer for life. I also love that it is locally made with natural ingredients.
