The owners are doing a fantastic job making Banff Norquay even better than before with additional activities such as tubing, sightseeing from the tea house (you don’t need to ski down), snowshoeing and a big air jump with an inflatable landing!

The tea house was first built in the early 50s and is a big part of Banff Norquay’s history, “reborn”. You can now ride up the North American Chair to enjoy  picture perfect perspective of the town of Banff.
