Snowshoeing on Top of the World at Sunshine Meadows!

New this year at Sunshine Village are Guided Snowshoe Tours lead by White Mountain Adventures. The adventure starts with a gondola ride to the Day Lodge at Sunshine Village and then up a chairlift to the top of Mount Standish. You then strap on your snowshoes, walk away from the ski area and into a white powder paradise!


The views are incredible and it is so serene! This is a half day trip with a professional hiking guide leading your group. The tour includes transportation from Banff to Sunshine Village (scheduled departures only), snowshoes, trekking poles, Gondola & chair lift ticket, hot chocolate and snacks.
