Sunshine Village accomodation guide - World Snowboard Guide

Resort life

You can stay in Sunshine Village , at the Sunshine Inn which is accessed only by the Gondola, offering the only ride-in, ride-out accommodation in the Banff area. The hotel has a great fire place to relax at, but theres no real night life although the Old Sunshine Lodge can kick off if its the staffs payday. Its not cheap, although they do offer some good midweek deals, but remember you do get first tracks everyday while everyone else is waiting for the Gondola down at the car park.

The cheaper option is to stay in Banff . Its only 15 minutes away along Route 93 and a regular local bus services operates between Banff and Sunshine.
