Itinerary:
Day 1 Calgary to Lake Louise
Upon arrival into Calgary airport, transfer to Lake Louise for the first part of your fabulous winter holiday.
Days 2-4 Lake Louise
Your Banff & Lake Louise Ski Lift Pass gives you access to three fantastic ski resorts; Mount Norquay, Banff Sunshine and Lake Louise and the area’s inland location guarantees plenty of pure powder. Transportation to the ski hills is included in your ticket so it is easy to explore and find your perfect piste! It’s just a short drive to the peaks of Lake Louise ski resort and the skiing terrain here is fantastic, so make the most of your first few days on the mountain. Enjoy activities on the spectacular frozen waters of the lake and don’t miss a visit to the famous Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel for a drink with dazzling views.
Day 5 Lake Louise to Banff Sunshine
Take the free shuttle from Lake Louise to Banff Sunshine and check in at the mountain base for your stay at Sunshine Mountain Lodge. The gondola will whisk you up to the lodge, which sits at the heart of this mountain resort, located inside Banff National Park.
Days 6-7 Banff Sunshine
Sitting at an altitude of 2,200m, Alberta’s only ski-in ski-out hotel is a special place to start your day. Wake up to the gentle whir of the resort’s chairlifts kicking into life and after breakfast, hit the ski runs early to beat the crowds. Your lift pass is included in the cost of your stay. Enjoy two fantastic days on the slopes, and once the lifts close, ski back to the lodge to enjoy snowshoeing under the stars, a dip in the steaming outdoor hot tub or a delicious meal at one of the lodge’s cosy restaurants.
Day 8 Banff Sunshine to Banff
After a few days of mountain living and superb skiing, take the gondola back down to catch your free shuttle to Banff.
Days 9-11 Banff
Perhaps spend a day exploring the pistes at Mount Norquay, the closest resort to Banff, and hit the tube park for an easy and fun way to whizz down the mountain. Off the slopes, enjoy the town’s welcoming ambience and winter festivities that take place throughout the snowy season. Perhaps join a thrilling snowmobile tour in Kicking Horse Canyon or enjoy a more relaxed sleigh ride.
Day 12 Banff to Calgary
It’s time to leave the winter wonderland behind and transfer back to Calgary for your flight home.
