This is a ski trip designed for mixed-ability skiers and snowboarders who are looking for an authentic Canadian experience without needing to self-drive. Your first stop, Panorama in British Columbia, is ideal for first-timers to learn or regulars to warm up before you cross the Great Continental Divide through the Alberta Rockies to Banff.

Panorama's blend of a superb ski school and quiet slopes hits the spot for skiers of all abilities on a mission to learn something new. To challenge the more advanced skier, there's an astonishing backcountry, one of the biggest vertical drops in North America and the exhilarating Taynton Bowl.

After several days of building up your confidence in Panorama, you'll set up camp in Banff, ready to explore three sensational ski resorts in the area. We've skied Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise for over 20 years and we still can't get enough! Set within the scenic National Park, Banff's bustling town is accompanied by a rugged backdrop and possesses a friendly Canadian vibe, which is another reason we Brits keep coming back year after year.

The Continental Divide Ski Safari gives you great value for money as Panorama and Banff's four ski areas all feature on the Ikon Pass! For the best value, we recommend the Ikon Base Pass which gives you five days in each destination, or opt for the full Ikon Pass for seven days. Additionally, there's no need to rent a car. Given the convenient nature of the route, it's easily completed by regular transfers.

"Enjoy the ski-in ski-out convenience of Panorama contrasted with the bustling Mountain Town of Banff and the Big 3 resorts of Norquay, Sunshine and Lake Louise. This combo can easily be done using daily transfers."

Suggested itinerary

Here's how we think you would enjoy and get the most out of the Continental Divide Ski Safari. Remember, our team are here to build you a perfect ski trip - if you want to change anything, let us know!

Day 1

Fly from the UK to Calgary and hop on a bus to transfer to Panorama, which takes around four hours.

Days 2 to 7

From here, it's six pleasurable days getting reacquainted with your skis or snowboard on Panorama's terrific slopes. You're never too old or too good to learn something new, and there's nowhere better than Panorama's highly-regarded ski school. Why not book a few morning lessons and spend the rest of the day practising around the mountain?

Days 8 to 12

On the morning of day eight, it's a short two-hour transfer to Banff, where you'll spend the rest of your trip skiing at three different resorts. Mount Norquay (the smallest) is the closest, while Sunshine Village is where you’ll most likely spend the bulk of your time. The largest ski area, Lake Louise is a 45-minute bus away but worth it for the varied terrain. If your legs are getting achy by this point, soothing hot springs are ready and waiting for you, along with plenty of other non-skiing activities for rest days.

Day 13

It's time to head home, starting with a 1.5-hour transfer back to Calgary. If it seems to be over all too soon, there's an option to turn this itinerary into 16 nights!
