Banff: Banff Sunshine Village Ski & Snowboard Resort
Banff Sunshine Village occupies high alpine terrain along the Continental Divide in Alberta’s Banff National Park. The resort extends across the slopes of Mount Standish, Lookout Mountain and Goat’s Eye Mountain, above the Bow Valley in the Canadian Rockies. Its gondola, lifts and marked runs make it one of the park’s principal ski-and-snowboard areas. Banff National Park was established in 1885 as Canada’s first national park and is part of the UNESCO-listed Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks. Sunshine Village lies near the town of Banff, with the Trans-Canada Highway running through the valley below and protected forests climbing toward the high ridges.

Banff has served as a railway and tourism centre in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains since the 1880s. Set in Banff National Park, Canada’s first national park, the town lies beside the Bow River beneath the long limestone ridge of Mount Rundle. The park was created in 1885 after hot springs were discovered near the railway, beginning a national system of protected areas. Banff Avenue leads through the compact centre toward the 1888 Banff Springs Hotel, a landmark built by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Trails, ski areas and mountain roads make Banff a base for exploring the Bow Valley in every season. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Alberta.

Among Canada’s provinces, Alberta stands out for its transition from the Canadian Rockies through prairie to the boreal forest of the north. The province’s western edge is defined by the Rocky Mountains, while the Athabasca and Peace river systems drain vast northern areas. This location lies in northwestern Alberta, where forests, wetlands and communities linked to the energy sector shape the interior. Banff and Jasper national parks protect renowned mountain country, including the Columbia Icefield. Cree, Blackfoot, Dene and Métis communities are integral to Alberta’s cultural fabric. Calgary’s Stampede, first held in 1912, remains the province’s best-known celebration of western heritage. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Alberta.
