Banff / Lake Louise April 12th-19th

Our newest adventure to Canada will be to one of the most beautiful and scenic regions in the world.  Canada's Banff National Park.....

Departure will be from New York's JFK with a non-stop flight to Calgary.  We will board a motorcoach transfer to the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louse for 3 nights, skiing at Lake Louise.  We will then make the short transfer to Fairmont Banff Springs and ski/ride 3 more days at Sunshine village.  Departure will be on Sunday back to Calgary and a non-stop flight back to New York.

 

Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine promises memorable skiing and snowboarding amidst the world's most awesome scenery. Within the protected wilderness of Banff National Park, you'll find three ski areas and two mountain towns alive with spirit and hospitality (Banff and Lake Louise) - all just 90 minutes from Calgary International Airport.

The 3 ski areas of Ski Norquay, Sunshine Village, Lake Louise Mountain Resort feature more than 250 runs on over 7,700 acres of skiable terrain. Each has a unique character and the three are available on one convenient interchangeable lift ticket.

Since skiing began here in 1926, Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine has been renowned for it's annual abundance of light, dry Canadian Rockies powder. Our northern location and resort elevation gives us some of the most consistent and ample snowfall in all of western North America and one of the longest ski seasons in the west, from mid-November to late May.

After skiing & snowboarding, or for those taking time off the slopes, there's plenty to see and do. Have a relaxing soak in the Banff Upper Hot Springs, visit museums (including the Canadian Ski Museum), ride the Banff gondola for incredible views, take a day trip heli-skiing, explore the National Park, try an ice canyon walk, pamper yourself with a spa visit, explore Banff Avenues many shops, experience snowshoeing, cross country skiing, ice skating, dog sledding and horse-drawn sleigh rides, and much more. And of course, there's the wildlife - you might even spot an elk or a bighorn sheep during your adventures!
