Panorama Mountain Village for beginners

Beginners rating -
20
Perfect
Panorama is a beginner's paradise with its easy, wide slopes and dedicated slow-skiing zones. Start your journey at the village's nursery area near the Little Ripper and Red magic carpet lifts. From there, you can graduate to the aptly-named Beginner green run and longer greens like Stringer and Horseshoe, accessed from the Discovery Quad and Mile 1 Express chairlifts.

Panorama Mountain Village for intermediates

Perfect
Intermediate skiers will love the immaculate grooming and uncrowded runs that Panorama has to offer. Get your fix on wide blues like Rollercoaster, reached via the Champagne Express chairlift. Don't miss the blue run Get Me Down from the highest point, or the black diamonds like Roy’s Run, where the view alone is worth the trip.

Panorama Mountain Village for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Experts
Perfect
Although Panorama may not be an expert mecca, it still offers challenging options like the Taynton Bowl and the Extreme Dream Zone. Expect steep and deep with a smattering of chutes, bumps, and tree-lined runs. Long double black runs stretch from the summit down to the village, fully utilizing Panorama's impressive vertical.

Panorama Mountain Village for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Boarders
Perfect
Beginner and expert boarders alike have something to cheer about in Panorama. The lower half of the mountain is strewn with wide, groomed greens and blues perfect for newbies, and you can easily sidestep the lone drag lift. For more experienced riders, the Taynton Bowl offers challenging double black diamond runs and off-piste options, while parks like Toby Terrain and Rockstar Terrain add some jibbing fun.

Panorama Mountain Village for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
For the daring, Panorama is a treasure trove of 1,500km of off-piste terrain, though most are helicopter-access only. The Taynton Bowl is the go-to spot for steep runs, tree runs, cliffs, glades, and chutes that'll get your heart racing. Make sure to book your heli-experience locally if you're up for the thrill.

Panorama Mountain Village for families

Families rating -
Fun
Perfect
Panorama is a family winner, boasting convenient lodging near the lifts and a jam-packed activity roster. Panokids offers safe, fun ski learning with features like magic carpets and arches. Beyond the slopes, the family can enjoy helicopter rides, hot springs, and outdoor ice skating among other activities.

Panorama Mountain Village apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
Apres ski here is less about the rowdy bar scene and more about unwinding in Panorama's famous hot pools. Once you've soaked to your heart's content, migrate to T-Bar & Grill, where the atmosphere buzzes and snacks like nachos and chicken wings keep the good times rolling.
