Ski the Canadian Rockies

At the heart of a National Park, Banff is bursting with character.  It is a bustling, friendly little town where you will find stunning scenery and amazing wildlife. 'Downtown' Banff offers traditional Canadian hospitality with an excellent variety of bars, some with live music, and a wide choice of restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets.  Lift passes cover the three ski areas of Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village and Lake Louise.  Jasper is a friendly frontier town lying in the middle of spectacular scenery. The Marmot Basin ski area has uncrowded slopes, majestic alpine bowls and beautifully groomed tree-lined runs, all covered by one of the best value lift passes in Canada.
