The truly spectacular Banff area is protected with National Park status so you share the slopes and the friendly town with wild elk.Attracting so many Brits,Banff is a lively town and is the best place to be for those who do like the nightlife,with Lake Louise catering more for young families.

The 3 main ski areas are Norquay,Sunshine and Lake Louise,which are all connected by a free shuttle bus and skiable on the Tri Area pass.The bustling town of Banff gives easy access to Norquay (5 mins away) and Sunshine (20 mins away) but is 45 minutes away from Lake Louise.The free shuttle buses cover all areas with the Tri Area pass.Our favourite area is Sunshine.

Great choice for those wanting to ski Canada without breaking the bank and superb for all levels of ability.For somewhere very special, stay at the Banff Springs Hotel.Simply awesome.Terrific snow record lasting well into May so great choice for late season skiers.
