4) We're close to an international airport 

 

Getting here is easy! The closest airport, the Calgary International Airport (YYC), is located just 90 minutes west of the town of Banff.  Convenient airport shuttles and a direct highway makes the commute a breeze. Once you're here, our robust network of ski shuttles can take you to all three resorts from almost any hotel in Banff or Lake Louise. We also recommend getting around town with ROAM Transit, Banff's public transit network. It's fast, clean, and most hotels offer tokens or vouchers for free rides during your stay in Banff.

 

Getting around by shuttle and public transit, you’ll quickly discover why Banff National Park is the crown jewel of Canada’s parks system and a leader in sustainable tourism. Its natural scenery will leave you breathless, providing an authenticity that no artificial ski town can match. Choose your home-base from two distinct ski towns: the town of Banff or the village of Lake Louise. Both are world renowned for their history, unique character, and stunning mountain backdrop. We thank you for doing your part to explore Banff National Park car-free!
