Overview: hotel description: Banff Ptarmigan Inn description

Make the most of Banff with a stay at the Ptarmigan Inn. You’ll find this mountain hotel in the centre of Banff National Park, only steps away from the hustle and bustle of Banff Avenue and the downtown area.

The 134 bedrooms at the property are spacious and warm, and have been recently renovated to a typically North American design – the old photos that grace the walls above the bed, as well as the kaleidoscopic headboard designs, add a lovely bit of character to the rooms.

As you enter the Ptarmigan you’ll immediately notice its huge atrium-style lobby, complete with a huge sculpture of a skier suspended from the back wall – it’s pretty impressive, and really gets you in the mood for a day on the mountains. The standard rooms at the hotel have indoor balconies overlooking the atrium, which adds to the atmosphere and vibe, but if you’d prefer exterior views, make sure you pick a superior room.

In the mornings, you’ll have breakfast at the onsite Meatball Pizza and Pasta restaurant. You can fill up on a range of hot and cold produce, or create your own breakfast at the made-to-order omelette station. When it comes to lunch and dinner, if you’d prefer to stay closer to home, sample some of the dishes the Meatball Pizza and Pasta are famous for – stone-hearth, thin-crust pizzas and hearty pastas (spaghetti and meatballs being the speciality). The staff are attentive, the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

For lazy afternoons and evenings, take a dip in one of the two indoor hot pools, or close your eyes and relax in the steam room or sauna – after all, ski holidays aren’t just about the slopes.

Downtown Banff is made up of traditional timber and stone buildings and arranged in a simple grid pattern, centred around the main road – Banff Avenue - that’s been purposely positioned to open up a fabulous view of Cascade Mountain. Unlike your average ski resort, winter is low season here (good news if you’re staying in town, which usually means better deals). Accommodation is mostly classic lodges and hotels, the cream of the crop being the Fairmont Springs Hotel. This ‘castle in the Rockies’ has had ...
Mt Norquay’s runs are sheltered by trees - head up on the Cascade chair for wide and easy-going greens like Temptation and Speculation. Intermediates can take the Mystic Express to several blues like Bruno’s gully, where you have the opportunity to dabble in a bit of powder. The North American Chair serves some exhilarating black diamonds (don’t miss the bumps on the Memorial Bowl) and a double diamond - Lone Pine. If you’ve been skiing elsewhere in the day, return to Norquay in time for the night skiing, wh...
The whole area is known for its laid-back après and friendly locals. In Norquay, the Cascade Lodge has a fabulous sun terrace - you could head inside to the Kika's Café for a warming cuppa but make sure you stay out to watch the sunset at least once. After a day in Sunshine village, grab a quick eat at the Burger Shack or go fine dining at The Eagle's Nest (the fantastic Alberta beef is their speciality). At the base of Lake Louise, Banded Peak Base Camp often has live music and does great BBQ food. Anothe...
