Banff Ski Vacations 2026

Banff Ski Vacation Packages

Known as Canada’s original ski town, Banff has long lured thrill-seekers in search of the perfect slope. Mount Norquay Ski Resort is a terrific choice for your Banff ski vacation. It features 60 runs across 190 acres of skiable terrain and has slopes to suit all levels. An adult day pass typically costs 74 Canadian dollars (around $58). Head to Lake Louise Mountain Resort, the Canadian Rockies’ biggest ski resort, to conquer its four mountain faces with 164 runs. Glide around West Bowl for a taste of the Rockies’ famous champagne powder and jaw-dropping views of Bow Valley, Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier. Nordic skiing, snow tubing and snowshoeing are also available here. Sunshine Village has runs ranging from easy greens to the hardest double blacks along with Banff's only ski-in, ski-out hotel. Its season stretches from early November until late May — the longest non-glacial ski season in Canada.

How To Get Around

Add a car rental at Calgary Intl. Airport (YYC) to your Banff ski vacation package and explore this famous resort town at your own speed. The airport to Banff is about 87 miles, or a 90-minute drive. Heading to Mount Norquay? You’ll only have to drive around 15 minutes more. Public transportation options are also available from downtown. Before you get behind the wheel, be aware that snow tires or chains may be required by law for travel in certain Banff areas.
