Lake Louise

Majestic mountains, champagne powder, a charming village and a "3 in 1 ski pass "
"3 in 1" - that's the magic formula in Banff and Lake Louise. Banff National Park in Alberta, with its breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, is home to three magnificent ski resorts: Mt. Norquay is located right next to Banff. Banff Sunshine is around 20 minutes away from the most beautiful town in the Rockies. The legendary Lake Louise Ski Resort can be easily reached in just under 45 minutes. The three ski areas are among the most famous ski resorts in Canada. They are all accessible with the Ski Big 3 ski pass.

Mt. Norquay
Mt. Norquay may be small compared to the other ski resorts near Banff, but you shouldn't underestimate it. The mountain right on the edge of town is known for its challenging black runs. Waiting times at the lifts are unheard of here. Mt. Norquay is an insider tip. And not just for us. "Mt. Norquay is the favorite mountain of many locals," reports TRAVELZONE ski expert Max Schmidt.

Banff Sunshine
Banff Sunshine with its unique high mountain village offers varied terrain and great snow. The terrain is spread over four areas; the slopes of the Wawa Chair to the west, Lookout Mountain to the east, Mt. Standish to the south and Goats Eye Mountain to the north. The ultimate challenge is the "Delirium Dive". "The entrance to 'The Dive' is actually one of the steepest and most challenging lines you can ski in North American ski resorts," enthuses Kenny Prevost from TRAVELZONE.

Lake Louise
Champagne powder, varied terrain and a breathtaking landscape - Lake Louise is in a class of its own. The view from the summit across to the world-famous Lake Louise under the imposing Victoria Glacier alone is worth the trip to the Rocky Mountains. The most challenging off-piste runs are at the back of the ski area. There, the gullies at the Paradise Chair and the steep Whitehorn Gullies in the summit area are the favorites of the top skiers. On the front side, the downhill slopes, on which countless World Cups have been held, are a real hit. "For me, Lake Louise is one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world," emphasizes TRAVELZONE boss Kenny Prevost.
