点评:We stayed here during our 2 days in Banff - it was a quick 15 minute drive to the main village (shuttles are also offered by the resort). The coolest thing ever is taking the gondola up to the lodge. Never have I ever taken such a long gondola ride (it's 25 minutes)! And yes the gondola pass is included as part of your hotel stay. Absolutely gorgeous scenery along the way and once at the very top, the lodge is there along with a nice sit down restaurant as well as a decent sports bar/saloon (both open late) . The gondola runs from 8am to 6pm so plan accordingly - if you show up after 6pm you just check in with the front and they have shuttles driving you back up the mountain - it's twisty , turny, dirt road and quite a white knuckle ride lol. Props to the young guy who drove us back one night in pitch black - grateful we didn't go over a cliff!
My ONLY complaint is the walkway from the gondola to the lodge is literally GRAVEL. Like big chunks of gravel. Trying to roll our luggage across this was horrible. I'm pretty sure it didn't do my luggage any service either. The crap thing was that several employees saw us trying to pull our luggage and never stopped to help. When I checked in, the front desk was like "oh, there's supposed to be luggage carts to help with that". Nope. There. Weren't. Checking out the lovely guys (one of which was our driver that pitch black night) helped us take our luggage to the gondola.
We didn't hike any of the trails up there - but the resort does lead guided hikes. There's also a decent cafe to get some breakfast and a cute little gift shop to get sundries late at night. All in all I would totally stay here again for the experience - just now I know to just run ahead and get help with my luggage!
翻译:我们在班夫的两天都住在这里——开车到主村只需15分钟(度假村也提供班车)。最酷的事情是乘坐缆车到旅馆。我从来没有坐过这么长的缆车(25分钟)!是的,缆车票包含在酒店住宿费里。沿途风景绝美,到达山顶后,旅馆就在那里,还有一家不错的餐厅和一家不错的运动酒吧/沙龙(都营业到很晚)。缆车的运营时间是早上8点到下午6点,所以要提前计划好——如果你下午6点以后到,只需在前台登记,他们就会安排班车送你回山——这是一段蜿蜒曲折的土路,相当惊险刺激,哈哈。要感谢那天晚上在漆黑一片中开车送我们回来的那个年轻人——庆幸我们没有掉下悬崖!
我唯一不满意的地方是从缆车到小屋的那条路简直是碎石路,就像大块大块的碎石。把行李推过去简直糟透了。我敢肯定我的行李也一点用都没有。更糟糕的是,好几个员工看到我们拉行李,却从不停下来帮忙。我入住的时候,前台说“哦,应该有行李车帮忙”。结果没有。根本没有。幸亏那些友善的小伙子(其中一个就是那个漆黑夜晚的司机)帮我们把行李搬到了缆车上。
我们没有徒步上去——不过度假村确实有带导游的徒步旅行。这里还有一家不错的咖啡馆可以吃早餐,还有一家可爱的小礼品店,可以在深夜买些东西。总而言之,我绝对会再次入住这里,体验一下——只是现在我知道了,直接跑到前面去叫人帮我拿行李就行了!
