Sunshine Village is just a short drive outside the town of Banff and is one of the top two ski resorts in Alberta, along with Lake Louise.

 The resort offers a variety of terrain and runs for beginners to advanced skiers.

 In summer, the area is open to hikers, who can take a bus to the upper regions. It's possible to do a short walk and take the bus back down, or embark on a longer hike that will take you back down to the parking area. The scenery here is stunning year-round.
