Description
Banff has a spectacular setting, and with a protected National Park status, it remains an unspoilt ski resort though frequently visited and popular with all skiing abilities. The three areas of Norquay, Sunshine and Lake Louise are included on the tri valley lift pass system, all reachable by ski bus linking the areas.
