This ski resort has been offering downhill thrills since 1926 in one of Canada's prettiest locations: Banff National Park. Mount Norquay reaches 2,133 m (6,998 ft) in elevation, which means that it boasts gentle beginner slopes, exciting expert runs and everything in between. There is also a fully maintained snowboard park for those who love to grind. Mount Norquay is a true family resort that provides rentals and lessons to skiers of all ages and abilities. For after-ski activities, march your tired legs into one of Canada's best ski lodges for a stiff apres-ski libation.
Descend into a cave under Grotto Mountain for a unique subterranean adventure. Experienced guides lead two and six-hour expeditions that bring visitors face to face with fossils, calcite formations, and glacial deposits. The two-hour tour is a relatively easy introduction to the amazing underground cavern system. The six-hour Adventure Tour is more exciting; visitors squeeze through tight passageways and rappel into the subterranean abyss. Experienced guides ensure that everyone is safe, and all equipment is provided.
