Enjoy the mesmerising beauty of the Rocky Mountains, wildlife, and a breathtaking town with everything from hot springs and luxury hotels to ski schools. If you are planning to explore the Canadian Rocky Mountains in all its glory, Banff skiing resort offers an out-of-this-world experience.
The town of Banff doesn't have a skiing area itself. Its three mountain resorts are in the National Park, including Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise, and Mount Norquay. Together, these three offer about 7,700 acres of skiing piste. The nearest skiing area is Mount Norquay, 8 kilometres from town. Banff Sunshine is about 16 kilometres away, while the biggest ski area Lake Louise is about 65 kilometres away. Whether you are a beginner or expert, these ski areas offer a variety of terrains to suit every level of experience.
The closest airport to Banff is Calgary, 140 kilometres and one hour and 30 minutes' drive away. Thankfully, Banff is easily accessible by bus. Once you get to town, it's easy to reach the three ski areas. Buy your Tri-Area lift pass, and free shuttle buses will take you to your preferred destination. While Mount Norquay is only 10 minutes away, many travellers opt for the larger Sunshine Village. Sunshine Village is perfect for beginners and intermediates, but experts will also love its double black diamond trails.
The three ski areas are open to visitors from early November to mid-May. During that time, you can enjoy some of the best skiing experiences North America has to offer. Whether you are travelling with the family or solo, this spectacular resort offers dazzling sights on the mountains and in town.
There is a dizzying array of exciting activities to enjoy at Banff skiing resorts. There are thousands of acres of lush snow slopes for adrenaline-pumping skiing adventures. The resorts offer several cross-country ski trails for every level of skiing. You can also go snow tubing on Mount Norquay and Lake Louise. Other activities include dog sledding rides in the Canadian Rockies and exciting caving tours. Horse-drawn sleigh rides give you that unique small-town feeling, and tour operators can take you on an Ice Walk of the Johnston Canyon Region. You can also check out many of the town's museums. End the day with a relaxing bath in the natural warmth of the Banff Hot Springs.
