Sunshine Village

The Sunshine Mountain Lodge is Banff-Lake Louise's only ski-in, ski-out accommodation. The recently renovated property includes 30 new rooms, a new lobby area, and the expansion of the Chimney Corner Bar & Grill. Large panoramic windows provide spectacular views of Goat's Eye Mountain from the lobby and Chimney Corner Lounge, and the outdoor BBQ deck area features a heated floor pad. The hotel is located at the top of a 15-minute gondola system and at the base of the ski area at an elevation of 7,200 feet. Amenities include a giant outdoor hot tub, fine dining, lounge, sauna, and massage service. Guests have exclusive rights to ski or ride for first tracks before anyone else, from January forward. Nightly events for guests include snowshoe hikes, movie nights, casino nights, live entertainment, tobogganing, and much more throughout the season.
