Nakiska

Positioned in the heart of Kananaskis Country, Nakiska Ski Area combines Rocky Mountain grandeur with friendly, accessible skiing and snowboarding. Originally developed for the 1988 Winter Olympics, this family-focused resort maintains its legacy of excellence while offering terrain for all skill levels. With 79 marked runs spread across 1,021 acres, Nakiska delivers exceptional mountain experiences just 45 minutes from Calgary.

Nakiska's modern lift network ensures maximum time on the slopes with minimal waiting. Our six lifts, including two high-speed quad chairs, efficiently transport guests across four mountain faces. The Bronze Chair serves beginners, while the Gold Chair Express whisks advanced riders to challenging terrain. Together, these lifts can move over 9,000 skiers per hour, keeping lines short even during peak times.
