Expert Advice
"Banff is a winter wonderland with wildlife & is a fabulous place to explore  "

Three superb ski areas in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, each set in stunning scenery & linked by an efficient ski bus system. Banff is a winter wonderland with wildlife & is a fabulous place to explore.

Sunshine is the main ski area with many of its slopes above tree line - 25 minutes by bus, Norquay is 15 minutes ride away, it is much smaller with wooded slopes, while Lake Louise is a 45 minute drive & has long trails & spectacular high mountain scenery. Beginners learn quickly with excellent tuition while intermediates & advanced enjoy the sheer variety of piste & deep powder bowls.

In the picturesque & lively town of Banff you’re quite likely to see an Elk out window shopping as it wanders down the main high street. All accommodation is linked to the resort by the regular bus system. With lots to do in the area, much based around the wildlife to be seen in Banff National Park, non skiers will be just as entertained here as those taking to the slopes.
