Canada - Ski Nakiska

Located in the heart of the spectacular Kananaskis Valley, Nakiska offers fast groomed runs galore!

The resort was specifically designed to host the alpine events of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics and for this reason, is the closest resort to Calgary at 83Km.

The resort was designed with ski racing in mind, but Nakiska's terrain was carefully planned to meet the needs of family visitors. The terrain caters for almost 3/4 intermediate skiers and boarders, with the remaining terrain split for beginners and experts.

Day trips are available from Banff to Nakisika.
