Ski the best with Great Canadian Heli-Skiing

Banff Heli Skiing

Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, the town of Banff, Alberta, is a world class skiing destination complete with fine Canadian Foods, hot springs, and classic Canadian Castles like the Banff Springs Hotel.

The best way to ski Banff Alberta is to have a car rental so that you have the flexibility to ski the resorts when you would like rather than wait for the shuttles that tour all the hotel drop offs.

Banff offers several ski resort options amidst the grandeur of Banff National Park. Visitors can choose to tune their skiing skills at either Sunshine Ski Resort or Lake Louise Ski Resort. Sunshine is closest to Banff and offers a central bowl that can be accessed by Gondola. Lake Louise is approximately a half hour west of Banff and boasts some of the most beautiful views of its namesake glacial lake surrounded by the rugged Rocky Mountains.
