When contemplating where to go for their next ski holiday, skiers often fail to consider Banff as an option, even though this fabulous destination has got everything a skier needs for a dream vacation. Located in the heart of the Rockies, Banff features views that alone are worth the trip. Visitors can enjoy three major resorts located nearby—Lake Louise, Banff Sunshine and Mont Norquay—as well as countless other large resorts, which are easily accessible on a ski safari adventure.
Thanks to the region’s rather continental climate, the snow here is dry, light and of excellent quality. In addition to this, the season is incredibly long—it starts in November with the World Cup races and ends on Victoria Day weekend in May. Want to do more than just ski? No problem! Banff has tons of activities for you to
choose from: ski touring, fat biking, snowshoeing… or relaxing in the Upper Hot Springs, which happens to be included in the price of your lift ticket!
From a practical perspective, since Banff is in Canada, you won’t have to worry about the exchange rate andgetting there is fast and easy on a direct flight to Calgary. Plus, Banff is known for its hospitality. The town is an absolute treasure characterized by quaint restaurants and cafés, a sports and mountain-oriented atmosphere, and a community that is thrilled to call Banff home and always eager to spread the joy among its visitors.
