A Peak Inside

A Peak Inside is the newsletter for members of Mountain Culture and Environment.  Prior to 2009 A Peak Inside was sent as a print newsletter approximately three times a year, however we have moved towards a less-wasteful online newsletter which we feel is more user-friendly and interactive – and we are pleased to be able to share this with a broader range of friends and followers.

A Peak Inside focuses on behind-the-scenes content – with articles on people connected in some way to our programs, as well as updates on our partnerships, upcoming events, and current mountain issues.

Mountain Culture

Mountain Culture and Environment programs at The Banff Centre promote understanding and appreciation of the natural world through creative expression of mountain experiences; and by creating opportunities for dialogue and leadership on environmental and sustainability issues. Showcase programs include the Banff Mountain Film Festival, reaching audiences of over 200,000 in more than 30 countries, environment forums and summits, and a broad range of workshops and seminars on filmmaking, writing, and photography.

Activities include the Banff Mountain Book Festival , the Banff Mountain Film Festival and World Tour, the Banff Mountain Photography Competition, Mountain Forum, Mountain Conferences, and Mountain Summits.
