Skiing in the Rocky Mountains
A ski holiday in Canada's Rocky Mountains is an unforgettable experience! Canadian powder snow is completely different from Europe's. The snow is much drier. You ski through the powder like it's icing sugar. The skis glide gently down into the valley. It doesn't take much effort.
A ski holiday in the Rocky Mountains is something special. It's almost a mix of Tyrol and the Wild West. Après-ski with a cosy mountain-lodge atmosphere means ribs instead of dumplings.

But a ski holiday in the Rocky Mountains is about much more than après-ski and fun on the slopes. It's a unique experience in nature. Beautiful, peaceful scenery offers unforgettable views and fascinating wildlife.
You probably won't find such a breathtaking natural spectacle anywhere but the Rocky Mountains, especially in Banff National Park. Its sensational beauty earned it UNESCO World Heritage status. Lake Louise Ski Resort, at its heart, is considered the largest in the Canadian Rockies. The World Cup ski races are held here every year. And it's not just the ski stars who love the slopes at Lake Louise.
Lake Louise is the largest ski resort in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. World Cup ski stars aren't the only ones who've fallen in love with its slopes. More than 130 groomed runs of varying difficulty await holidaymakers. The western area has long, wonderfully uncrowded runs, with none of the annoying queues at the lifts. On the far side, experts will find mogul runs and steep, deep-snow slopes. There are ideal runs here for skiers of all abilities.
Sunshine Valley, a snowboarder's paradise, is also in Banff National Park, not far from Banff and Lake Louise. From mid-November to the end of May, holidaymakers can enjoy its dreamlike slopes. Sunshine Valley has one of the longest ski seasons in the Canadian Rockies, and some of the best skiing conditions.
A ski holiday in the Canadian Rocky Mountains is a first-class experience: wonderful powder snow, fascinating scenery and wildlife. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience.
