Banff Customer Reviews

Perfect place to stay, Banff town has the most beautiful 360 degree views, vibrant village, lots of lovely restaurants to suit every budget, locals love to have a chat with you, ski buses stop right at the door of your hotel, lovely weather, blue sunny skies, what more could you ask for? Skied at Sunshine Village, my favourite by far, something to suit every type of skier or boarder. On good powder days all you hear is the whooping of delight from everyone enjoying their time on the slopes. Also skied Lake Louise, this is an impressive resort... huge, great terrain. Also this year skied at the local hill Mt Norquay. Now people said to us, don’t waste your ski pass on this hill, but have to say this was a wee gem, full of steeps, views are amazing and finished off with the tubing, which was fast and hilarious. This was my 4th visit to the area and I will definitely be back. Everyone you talk to from other countries hold Sunshine village and Lake Louise in high regard, the snow is great, no lift lines to speak of, even on a busy Saturday everyone spreads through the hill,still making it seem really quiet, love, love, love it.

Excellent base for skiing Lake Louise & Sunshine Village. Cold but plenty of snow and lots of good runs for all abilities. Good facilities at both places. Both were reasonably quiet, even at the weekend, and big enough that it was never crowded and no lift queues. Ski Safari made all the arrangements very well, and we had a great time. Banff has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. We had our own car but there is a good bus shuttle to the ski areas. We enjoyed drinks and dinner at the Park Distillery and a good breakfast at Coyotes. Banff Hot Springs are worth a visit, especially with a free entrance pass included in the ski lift pass.
