Overview

Sunshine Mountain Lodge holds the unique distinction of being the only ski-in/ski-out hotel in all of Banff National Park, sitting at an incredible 7,200 feet elevation within Sunshine Village ski resort. Guests wake up above the clouds with first tracks on fresh powder before anyone else arrives via gondola. The lodge features a heated outdoor hot pool with panoramic mountain views, on-mountain dining, and cozy rooms with that warm alpine lodge atmosphere. In summer, the lodge reopens for hikers seeking access to spectacular alpine meadows carpeted with wildflowers. This is a bucket-list mountain experience you simply cannot get anywhere else in Banff.
