Ski & Snowboard BIG in Banff and Lake Louise
Your Banff and Lake Louise SkiBig3 lift pass gives you access to the area’s three resorts: Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Mt. Norquay. Each offers something a little different, and together they deliver 8,000+ acres of skiable terrain with panoramic views that will stop you in your tracks.
- Banff Sunshine: Just 20 minutes from town, this resort boasts Canada’s best early and late season snow. Its high alpine terrain and steep lines are legendary.
- Lake Louise Ski Resort: One of North America’s largest ski areas, with vast open bowls, perfectly groomed cruisers, and a serious wow-factor when it comes to scenery.
- Mt. Norquay: A local favourite with great terrain for beginners and night skiing just minutes from downtown Banff.
Après-Ski With Spectacular Views
Banff and Lake Louise aren’t just about skiing and snowboarding. Whether you’re soaking in the Banff Upper Hot Springs, sipping cocktails at the historic Fairmont Banff Springs, or exploring frozen canyons and scenic trails by snowshoe or ice cleats, every moment feels like winter distilled.
In Banff, you’ll find a buzzing mix of cafés, local breweries, and cosy restaurants tucked between heritage buildings. Lake Louise is quieter and more remote, ideal if your dream snow holiday involves starry skies, serene trails, and a slower pace.
