Private transfer
Best for: Families, groups and anyone with ski bags
A car or minivan just for your party, from the arrivals hall to your accommodation in Banff. The price is per vehicle, so it gets cheaper per head as your group grows: from €224 for the whole car.
Book from €224Shared shuttle or coach
Best for: Solo travellers and couples on a budget
The official access guide lists scheduled coach or bus services on this route. You pay per seat, but you wait for the departure and may finish at a central stop rather than your door.
Train and bus
Best for: Light packers who like public transport
There is no direct airport-to-resort train on this route. A rail-and-bus connection may exist via the nearest valley station; check every change and the final bus with ski luggage.
Train and bus to Banff & Lake Louise: official guideHire car
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.

Book Banff → CalgaryTips 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.
- Banff is high (the ski area starts around 1,657 m). 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.
