About Chateau Mountain Sports
Chateau Mountain Sports is an independent rental and retail store operating inside the Convention Centre of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, giving resort guests seamless access to winter and summer gear without ever leaving the property. Their winter fleet covers downhill skis, snowboards, cross-country ski packages, snowshoes, ice skates, hockey equipment, and fat bikes, with brands like Rossignol, Volkl, Salomon, and Atomic represented across multiple performance tiers.
The shop's full-service workshop handles overnight edge-sharpening, waxing, and base-grinding, so guests can drop off their gear after a day at Sunshine Village or Norquay and pick it up freshly tuned the next morning. The technicians also perform custom boot adjustments and DIN checks, ensuring every fitting meets safety standards while maximising comfort — a detail that matters when you are spending full days on steep Canadian Rockies terrain.
Come summer, the rental fleet transitions to family-friendly bicycles and Norco e-bikes for cruising the Bow Valley Parkway, Legacy Trail, and the network of paved paths that wind through the national park. A second location at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise extends the same services to visitors staying at the lake, making Chateau Mountain Sports a convenient choice for Fairmont guests who want high-quality equipment and expert advice steps from their hotel room.
