Best for: Exploring several resorts during your stay
Driving 146 km into the mountains in winter means winter tyres, snow chains where required and paid parking in Banff. Worth it if you will use the car during the week.

Return transfer: Banff to Calgary Airport
Book the return at the same time. Work back from your flight: allow 1 h 50 min on the road, extra time if it has snowed, and at least two hours at the airport for bags and security. On Saturdays leave earlier still.
Choose the return direction on the booking page.
Tips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- The road to Banff climbs high into the mountains. After fresh snow the last climb can be slow and chains may be required; allow extra time on the return to the airport.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Banff" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
