Sunshine Village serves up seemingly endless mountain terrain in the heart of an unspoiled wilderness in Banff National Park.

With a season running from mid-November until late May, Sunshine has over 1,300 hectares (13 square kilometres) of skiable runs on three mountains and an average annual snowfall of nine metres.

There are 12 different lifts including eight super lifts and a high-speed gondola. You also get the novel opportunity to ski in two Canadian provinces on one run: British Columbia and Alberta.

To get to Sunshine, head west on the Trans-Canada Highway out of Calgary for an hour and a half. The hill is eight kilometres west of Banff.

There is also a shuttle service between Calgary and Sunshine operated by Sunshine Coach.
