Surrounded by mountains, Banff is the ultimate winter destination for snowboarding, skiing, skating, dogsledding, snowshoeing. Not into winter adventures?  Don't worry, there is plenty of theatre, shopping and the always hopping nightlife in the bars and clubs on Banff Avenue.

Banff's three ski areas:  Lake Louise, Sunshine and Mount Norquay offer the largest ski area in Canada.  Over 7,000 acres of variable terrain and tons of snow keeps us happy from the middle of November until the shorts and flip flops have been on the patios in town for months - late May.
