Banff Ski Resort
Spectacularly set in Canada’s original national park, Banff and its associated ski resorts have some excellent skiing on their doorsteps. Known as ‘The Big 3’, there’s three ski resorts to choose from; Sunshine Village, Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise.
The town of Banff in Alberta is mostly spread along the central thoroughfare of Banff Avenue; with the majority of hotels, apartments, shops, bars and restaurants being on or just off the central stretch. Lake Louise Village – about a 45-minute drive away – offers a selection of accommodation with some shops. Lake Louise itself, with the imposing Victoria Glacier looming over the lake and famous Château Lake Louise, is stunning and just a couple of miles further up the road.
Lodging in Banff has something for every budget. From the iconic Fairmont Banff Springs to some great three and four-star hotels. Though Lake Louise has slightly more skiable terrain, the town of Banff is a more of an all-rounded place to stay with access to good quality restaurants, lively bars and varied accommodation. What’s more, you can use your SB3 lift pass for transport and skiing in Banff Sunshine Village, Mt. Norquay and Lake Louise.
