If you’re a skier, Banff is the place to be in the winter. Indeed, it’s also a hot spot for snowboarders, and all the other winter sports fans. Banff National Park is home to a trio of world-famous ski resorts.

They are Lake Louise, Mt. Norquay, and Sunshine Meadows. If you’re a hardcore skier and plan to spend your entire visit skiing, look into getting a Big 3 Lift Ticket. You’ll get access to all of the park’s ski resorts.  

Additionally, you’ll be able to ride the shuttle from almost every major hotel in Banff to the resorts. The Banff ski resorts include ski slopes for people of all skill levels, from little bunny hills to challenging black diamonds. In fact, Mt. Norquay resort even offers night skiing. If you are new to the sport, you can rent ski equipment. If you decide skiing isn’t for you, you can always go ice skating or just kick back by the fire inside the lodge instead.

 

23. See The Stars

Banff

Stargazing in Banff is the best non-hiking outdoor activity here. The skies here are always very dark and on clear nights, visitors are treated to a multitude of majestic stars. Take a leisurely drive to Lake Minnewanka and see the stars reflecting off the lovely lake. If you’d rather not drive, simply gaze up at the beautiful sky right where you are there. You might find the experience both memorable and, with the right company, even romantic.
