If you're looking to stay in a traditional mountain lodge style hotel with excellent facilities and a prime location then look no further than the Caribou Lodge.

Well Connected

Located on Banff Avenue and just a short walk to downtown Banff you'll be well connected with all the local facilities. Your room key doubles up as a free roaming bus pass for trips around town, whilst the ski shuttle to all the ski areas stops outside the hotel as well, perfect.

Canadian Dining

A massive stone fireplace dominates the lobby as you walk in the hotel, and perfectly complements the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Turn your head and the Keg Steakhouse & Bar will entice you with its fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner services. The food here is great - we're talking some of the juiciest steaks, slow roasted prime ribs and delicious, fresh salads.

Red Earth Spa

Be sure to also take a day out and enjoy the hotel's Red Earth Spa, payable locally. Along with a large jetted hot pool and steam room, this full service spa includes six treatment rooms where you can pamper yourself and fully unwind.

Added value

Free Roaming bus pass (available to use daily 7.30 am to 11 pm)

Banff

Banff is a dynamic town set in the spectacular Banff National Park. Downtown Banff offers traditional Canadian hospitality with an excellent variety of over 130 bars, restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries that cater for all tastes and budgets. Whilst skiing is core to Banff's winter appeal, the town is host to many other popular winter activities, you can enjoy everything from dog-sledding, snowshoeing and relaxing in hot springs in one of Canada's most beautiful and oldest national parks.

Banff provides home-base to three distinctive ski resorts, and a triple area SkiBig3 lift pass covers all three. Mount Norquay (10 minutes drive), Sunshine Village (25 minutes drive) and Lake Louise (45 minutes drive). A regular and free ski bus service, included with your pre-booked lift pass, operates from our Banff hotels to all three ski areas. Mount Norquay is often referred to as Banff’s 'local' hill but the resort should not be under-rated. It has easy trails but also some challenging ones too, such as Memorial Bowl, Temptation and Lone Pine. Sunshine Village has some of the highest skiing in Canada. It has three mountains: Mount Standish (with some of the easier trails) Lookout Mountain (high above the tree line with views across the Great Divide) and Goat’s Eye (with some of the best tree skiing on its lower slopes). Lake Louise offers one of the largest ski areas in North America with over 4,200 acres of skiable terrain. New terrain and chairlifts are continually being added to this beautiful area renowned for its jaw dropping glaciers, lakes and forests.

If you ski or snowboard all three (known as the Trifecta Challenge), along with bragging rights, you'll be rewarded. Stop by the SkiBig3 Adventure Hub on Banff Avenue and collect your reward which includes a FREE pint of beer for your efforts!

Equipment hire information

We are excited to be working with Black Tie Ski Rental. This coming season you will have the option to pick up your equipment in store or they will come to your hotel and do a fitting in the comfort of your room. Booking early is highly recommended. The team at Black Tie have expert knowledge and will contact you before you travel to take some important measurements to ensure you get the equipment you need. We will therefore require your contact details to pass on to them closer to your holiday. 

It’s often recommended that you rent your skis and boards: you will save money on transporting your equipment overseas, you get to sample the latest technology, and if you consider yourself an occasional skier, it’s a chance to find out what your slope style is before committing to a pair of skis/board.

Ski boots come with a wide selection of brands and models, including stiffer boots for more advance skiers, or wider or narrower fitting boots for wide/ narrow feet or calves. 

Helmets are bookable in-resort and payable locally.

Prices and supplements are correct at time of publishing but may vary up or down; correct prices will be advised at the time of booking.

Tuition

Ski & snowboard tuition available on request. Please call us to check prices and availability with supplier. Please note tuition takes place in Lake Louise which is approximately 45 minute ski shuttle journey from Banff centre.
