This cross country skiing trip is a must for the avid cross-country skier. The backcountry of Banff National Park is a great place to explore in the winter and there is no better way to do this than from a cozy wilderness lodge. A 16 km ski away from the town of Banff and a just 10 km from the Sunshine turnoff, the wide, well-sheltered trails lead you along the tree-lined valley of the Sunshine Ridge. You will ski right to the lodge where a warm room and a delicious meal is waiting for you. This lodge stay is the perfect relaxing winter get-away in the mountains.
