Ski and Spa in The Rockies

Tour Overview - 8 Days & 7 Nights

Nothing is as romantic as a winter visit to Lake Louise...as you travel to Lake Louise, all you can see are snow laden pine trees and suddenly, you are there! The popular Lake Louise Ski area provides just the right slopes for all levels of skiers, with 4200 Acres of wide open trails and thousands of acres of open bowls, just minutes from the Lake Louise Hotels. You can cross country ski on Lake Louise for a close up look at the Victoria Glacier, skate under a life size ice castle or gaze at a star filled sky from the cozy warmth of a horse drawn sleigh.

The Village of Banff...is delightful! Wintertime in Banff offers something for everyone. The snow covered mountains surround the town and its many shops & restaurants. A great place to be after a day outdoors for a little après ski! When you arrive at the “Castle of the Rockies”, the Fairmont Banff Springs, you will quickly see that it is a village within a hotel. If you are a spa lover, you will realize that the Banff Springs Spa is in a class by itself. Mt. Norquay & Sunshine Village are just minutes from the town of Banff.

Choice of:
A Five (5) day ski pass valid on all three (3) great ski areas: Lake Louise, Sunshine or Mt. Norquay, inclusive of transfers between your hotel and the ski areas.
OR
Access to the Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel to experience an array of spa facilities plus a second day of spa that includes a 60 minute massage

Welcome to Calgary and the Canadian Rockies. Enclosed with your travel documents is a voucher for your transfer from Calgary to Lake Louise. Please refer to this voucher for details of where to meet your driver. As you leave Calgary, you travel through the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Covered with snow, Banff and Lake Louise is a picture postcard of the Canadian Rockies. The drive from to Lake Louise offers a winter landscaped, hushed and remote.

The beauty of the frozen lake and the Victoria Glacier on the opposite side of the lake are dramatic.

An afternoon transfer has been pre-arranged from Lake Louise to Banff. The area is rich in the history of the springs and the story of how Banff has developed from a railroad stop to one of the best-known resorts in the world.

With hundreds of kilometers of marked trails – from beginner to expert – spread over three world class ski rsorts, the truly dedicated could take an entire winter to entirely explore the vast terrain. We make it easy with the interchangeable lift tickets that can be used at Mt. Norquay, Lake Louise and Sunshine Village.
