WHY GO
Boasting spectacular picture-postcard mountain ranges and an extensive skiing network, a visit to the town of Banff in the Canadian Rockies is a must for ski and snowboarding fans.
Although it is a year-round holiday destination that offers a wealth of outdoor adventure activities, Banff National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is renowned as one of the best ski regions in Canada and spans three resorts. It also enjoys one of the longest ski seasons, running from November to May.
Just 90 minutes’ drive from Calgary International Airport in the province of Alberta, it offers plenty to see and do away from the slopes, including relaxing in mineral-rich hot springs and visiting Johnston Canyon which, we are told, was the inspiration for scenes in Frozen 2. Its famed Narnia-esque Icewalk trail to see breathtaking ice pinnacles and frozen waterfalls is well worth the hike.
WHERE TO STAY
Crystal Ski offers 14 properties in banff. lying on its outskirts is the iconic fairmont banff springs, one of canada’s oldest hotels, now a national heritage site.
