There are good X-country trails all around the Banff Springs Hotel and Banff Centre. It's been ages since I've spent any time in Banff, but restaurants I used to enjoy (have checked - and they are still there ) were:

Ticino Swiss-Italian Restaurant (yummy fondues) Magpie & Stump (Mexican) Le Beaujolais (French) Earl's (this is a western Canadian chain that is a 'must' for us whenever we go back to w. Canada) Melissa's Restaurant & Bar (an 'institution' in Banff!) Bumpers The Beef House (another 'institution'!)

Have a great time!
