Sunshine Village : AB

A true classic! Sunshine Village was established in 1928 in the heart of Canada's Banff National Park. After a short ride from Banff, skiers hop on Sunshine's new eight passenger high-speed gondola to access stunning upper alpine terrain with thousands of vertical feet of wide-open bowls and treed runs carved through the forest.

Goat's Eye Mountain boasts 1900 vertical feet of powder and groomed runs. It can be accessed by a high-speed detachable quad in just five minutes - making it one of the fastest quad chairs in North America!

Our Guides Recommend

Banff Has It

The second best thing to riding Sunshine/Lake Louise is staying in the beautiful town of Banff. After a long day of riding, I love heading back into town because there is always something to do that I didn’t get to my previous visit. A new restaurant to eat at or a new ski and board shop to find sweet gear in. To top it all off the night life in Banff is never a letdown. Aurora Nighclub is my personal fav. because of the variety. If you feel like lounging, dancing or playing some foosball, Aurora’s got it all! - ROXY B (Backside Guide)

Banff Inn

From the moment you walk in to this elegant hotel, only a 5 minute walk from the amenities and nightlife of downtown Banff, you get the feeling you are welcome. From the amazing staff to the clean, modern room options, staying at the Banff Inn gives you all the access you need to the downtown core while providing a little space for you to escape and get a good nights rest before your adventure filled next day. - NEALL A (Backside Guide)
