You’ll be met at Calgary International Airport for your (wonderfully) scenic transfer into the Canadian Rockies, to your pre-chosen Banff hotel. Your three-resort lift pass will be waiting for you at the hotel reception when you check in. The rest of the day is yours at leisure to explore the town.

Banff Caribou Lodge

Famous for pristine snow conditions and amazing views, Banff skiing is some of the best in the world. Your Banff and Lake Louise lift pass gives you access to three world-class resorts, with ski runs for all abilities:

• Banff Sunshine Village – 120 ski runs over three mountain
• Lake Louise Ski Resort – over 150 pistes and back bowls
• Mount Norquay – 60 ski runs over 190 acres

Your ski pass gives access to the pistes on any five days of your stay, though if you would like more or less time on the slopes, please get in touch for options.

On non-skiing days you can enjoy some of the many winter activities Banff and Lake Louise have to offer, such as shoe shoeing and dog sledding.

The skiing may be over today, but your holiday certainly isn’t.

After checking out from your Banff hotel there will be time to enjoy lunch in the town before your transfer to the incredible Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, one of Canada’s most famous hotels.

Surrounded by snow-covered peaks and on the banks of the emerald Lake Louise, which freezes over between mid-November and early June, the Chateau balances a classic charm and impeccable service with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Between mid-December and mid-April, Lake Louise is cleared of snow each day for guests to go ice-skating. If that’s a little too strenuous after a week’s skiing however, why not join a Snowga session instead, enjoy a massage at the health spa or take a sleigh ride through the hotel’s majestic grounds?

This morning, gaze out of Lake Louise one last time before your transfer to Calgary International Airport for your flight back to the UK.
