Banff National Park is located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies just 1.5 hours from Calgary, Alberta. The Town of Banff & Village of Lake Louise, both situated within the boundaries of the park, serve as a hub for skiers & riders to explore the three resorts of Banff Sunshine, Lake Louse Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay.

Very few places in the world have ski resorts located in National Parks, and within Banff National Park, you’ll find the three top tier ski resorts noted above: You won't find city sprawl around these resorts giving you endless views of uninterrupted mountains and beauty.

What is so special about Banff? The natural beauty of Banff's surrounding lakes and mountains made it Canada's first National Park and the world's third national park refuge, and part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site. 
More than 4 million people from around the world now visit Banff National Park every year.


Banff National Park offers skiing among Stunning Scenery with some of the most breathtaking views you’ll find anywhere. With mountain backdrops and pristine, snow dusted forests, every run feels like a postcard come to life. On your way to the mountain, you might even spot elk or mountain goats, this is their natural habitat, after all! 


Snow falls consistently on acres of skiable terrain, ranging from wide-open groomers to dynamic glades and challenging steeps. The resorts offer over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain suitable for all skill levels. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to carve through powder in expert terrain, each resort has something special to offer.


Off the mountain, it's not just for skiers! The Park is a hub of winter activities. After a day on the slopes, you can skate on the picturesque Lake Louise, explore frozen trails like Johnston Canyon, or warm up with great food and après ski in the town of Banff. From cozy cafés to lively restaurants, Banff’s dining scene is the perfect way to end a winter day.
