A seven night holiday in Banff costs from just £599 per person. This is based on return Economy Class return flights from Gatwick or Manchester to Calgary, seven nights at the Swiss Village Hotel (twin share, room only) and resort transfers. Based on travel in January 2010.

Flights to Calgary will operate on Wednesday and Saturdays, giving travellers a choice of 7, 10 or 14 day holidays, with flights to Vancouver on Thursdays. Add-on flights from Calgary to Kelowna are also available, enabling skiers to fly closer to resorts such as Silver Star and Revelstoke.
Kathryn Munro, Communication & Marketing Director of Canadian Affair, says: “Despite the challenging economic conditions, we believe there is still considerable demand for good value winter sports holidays to Canada, and we are increasing our programme to meet that.
“Canada offers some of the world’s best winter sports, and remains a good value destination for UK travellers – we believe this is a winning combination,” she added.
