Banff SkiBig3 Resorts

Ikon Pass

Three Mountains, Three Times the Fun

In the heart of Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sit three of the world’s finest ski resorts: Mt. Norquay, Lake Louise Ski Resort, and Banff Sunshine. A single tri-area lift ticket gives you access to almost 8,000 acres of skiable terrain. With one of the longest ski seasons in North America, these resorts are open from early November to mid-May.

You can float through the powder, cruise wide-open groomers, relax in the natural hot springs, explore ice canyons, mush a team of dogs, or experience downtown Banff’s unique shops. Be sure to save some energy for the evenings, so you can enjoy the mix of hip lounges, lively pubs, and trendy restaurants along Banff Avenue. And remember, you’re in Canada’s premier National Park, so don’t be surprised if you spot elk ambling down the snow-covered streets.
