A friendly guide welcomes you to Calgary as you begin your Banff ski adventure. After being shown to your private motor-coach, begin your scenic transfer to the bustling resort town of Banff nestled in the heart of the majestic Rocky Mountains!
The Fairmont Banff Springs is notably one of the most beautiful hotels in the world. Styled after a Scottish baronial castle and surrounded by the towering Rocky Mountains, it’s hard not to feel fortunate with this kind of hospitality and scenery.
Tonight, wander the scenic streets of Banff and enjoy its many boutiques and restaurants. Retire early to prepare for tomorrow’s full day of skiing!
Advanced ski rentals mean that you can arrive stress-free knowing that your skis will be ready and waiting!
Day 2 – Lessons & Fine Dining
Whether you’re new to skiing or a seasoned expert, a half day of private lessons is always a unique opportunity. Learn the basics, break old habits or be pushed beyond your limits all with the help of a professional guide. Spend your afternoon practicing what you have learned and exploring the hills!
Enjoy a full day of excellent Banff skiing in the unparalleled beauty of these natural surroundings. The Banff ski resort has a picturesque location that offers the utmost in convenience to the winter adventurer with easy access to three nearby ski areas.
Mount Norquay towers over Banff and offers a thrilling experience for skiers of every skill-level, as well as premium snowboarding terrain. Norquay is an excellent choice for families with a wide variety of groomed runs, a well-lit terrain park, and excellent lessons for all ages.
Tonight you have reservations at Saltlik, an outstanding Canadian steak house. Casual and comfortable dining is the perfect way to wind down after an exciting first day on the hills!
Day 3 – Ski Sunshine

Choose your favourite mountain and spend the day mastering the best runs!
This evening you have the unique opportunity of going on an evening dogsledding adventure. The moon lights the way tonight as your dogs pull you through the shadows of Banff’s black spruce forest. Steam from your hot apple cider rises as you listen to winter legends and enjoy baked hors d’oeuvres.
