The iconic Rimrock Resort Hotel can be seen peaking through the trees in Banff Upper Hot Springs. The hotel has a long history in the area and incredible views over the National Park which are hard to beat.

Location

You will be based in the centre of Banff Upper Hot Springs and a ten minute walk from the Banff Gondola. The hotel has a unique position on Sulphur Mountain surrounded by trees and overlooking Banff National Park.

Banff downtown is a short five minute drive away and you can hop on the local ROAM bus just outside the hotel.

Dining & Lounges

With two restaurants, two lounges, and a coffee shop on site, the hotel has a wide selection of places to eat and drink. The Eden fine dining restaurant is one of only four restaurants in Canada to receive a 5 Diamond rating.

If you're looking for a more relaxed setting, the newly opened Divas Lounge has a great menu of food and cocktails. 

Wellness

Relax in the hotel's heated indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, or steam room. An extensive range of spa treatments are available locally from body wrap treatments to warm stone massages.

Banff

  • Resort altitude of 1,383 metres 
  • 3,358 acres of skiable terrain
  • Over 360 inches of annual snowfall
  • Transfer time approx. 2 hour by shared coach transfer

Banff is a dynamic town set in the spectacular Banff National Park. Whilst skiing is core to Banff's winter appeal, the town is host to many other popular winter activities, you can enjoy everything from dog-sledding, snowshoeing and relaxing in hot springs in one of Canada's most beautiful and oldest national parks.

Skiing and snowboarding in Banff

Banff provides home-base to three distinctive ski resorts, and a triple area SkiBig3 lift pass covers all three - Mount Norquay (10 minutes drive), Sunshine Village (25 minutes drive) and Lake Louise (45 minutes drive). A regular and free ski bus service, included with your pre-booked lift pass, operates from our Banff hotels to all three ski areas.

Mount Norquay is often referred to as Banff’s 'local' hill but the resort should not be under-rated. It has easy trails but also some challenging ones too, such as Memorial Bowl, Temptation and Lone Pine. Sunshine Village has some of the highest skiing in Canada. It has three mountains: Mount Standish (with some of the easier trails) Lookout Mountain (high above the tree line with views across the Great Divide) and Goat’s Eye (with some of the best tree skiing on its lower slopes). Lake Louise offers one of the largest ski areas in North America with over 4,200 acres of skiable terrain. New terrain and chairlifts are continually being added to this beautiful area renowned for its jaw dropping glaciers, lakes and forests.

If you ski or snowboard all three (known as the Trifecta Challenge), along with bragging rights, you'll be rewarded. Stop by the SkiBig3 Adventure Hub on Banff Avenue and collect your reward which includes a FREE pint of beer for your efforts!

Where to stay in Banff

We offer a range of hotels across the lively resort of Banff, all offering facilities that will make for the perfect ski holiday. You'll find all our hotels have fantastic locations in regards to the resort centre and getting to the ski area, and you'll be able to use the spa facilities included to relax and rejuvenate those muscles so you can really maximise your time on the slopes.

Bars and restaurants in Banff

Downtown Banff offers traditional Canadian hospitality with an excellent variety of over 130 bars, restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries that cater for all tastes and budgets.

Equipment hire information

We are excited to be working with Black Tie Ski Rental. This coming season you will have the option to pick up your equipment in store or they will come to your hotel and do a fitting in the comfort of your room. Booking early is highly recommended. The team at Black Tie have expert knowledge and will contact you before you travel to take some important measurements to ensure you get the equipment you need. We will therefore require your contact details to pass on to them closer to your holiday. 

It’s often recommended that you rent your skis and boards: you will save money on transporting your equipment overseas, you get to sample the latest technology, and if you consider yourself an occasional skier, it’s a chance to find out what your slope style is before committing to a pair of skis/board.

Ski boots come with a wide selection of brands and models, including stiffer boots for more advance skiers, or wider or narrower fitting boots for wide/ narrow feet or calves. 

Helmets are bookable in-resort and payable locally.

Prices and supplements are correct at time of publishing but may vary up or down; correct prices will be advised at the time of booking.

Tuition

Tuition

Unfortunately we do not offer ski tuition in Banff or Lake Louise but we can help advise you how to book directly with the ski school. As there are 3 ski areas, we can also help with where is best to go depending on your ability.
