Lake Louise, located directly on Highway 1, consists of 5 buildings and two gas stations. It is then another 3 kilometers to Lake Louise itself, where the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands—one of the very few hotels in the vicinity of the ski area.
If you head in the opposite direction from Lake Louise, after about 3 kilometers you will reach the Lodge of Ten Peaks, the Whiskyjack Lodge, and the base stations of the detachable four-seater chairlifts Glacier Express, Lower Juniper Express, and the six-person gondola Grizzly Express.
From here, you can explore the entire ski area wonderfully. Afterwards, the detachable six-seater chairlifts Top of the World Express and Upper Juniper Express take you up to Eagle Ridge, from where you can access all the lifts in the area.
On the backside of the Lake Louise ski area, advanced skiers will find steep slopes and mogul runs. Highly recommended is the mogul run through the Paradise Bowl or the challenging descents at the Ptarmigan four-seater chairlift. The detachable four-seater chairlift Larch offers runs of all difficulty levels. Near the base station of the two four-seater chairlifts is the Temple Lodge, which is highly recommended for lunch.
From here, you can also glide back to the parking lots via a long connecting trail (not recommended for snowboarders).
On the front side, wide forest trail runs with easy to intermediate slopes lead down to the base station. The Summit four-seater chairlift takes you to the highest point in the ski area at 2,637 meters, from where you can also access the Back Bowls and have endless opportunities to enjoy the open ski terrain. From the very top, you have a wonderful view of Lake Louise, the Chateau, the Victoria Glacier, and the magnificent mountain scenery of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
At the base station, there are several magic carpets in the Sunny Side Area for beginners and children.
After skiing or snowboarding, you can relax by the open fireplace at the Banded Peak Base Camp or the Lodge of Ten Peaks for some après-ski. In the evening, there isn’t much choice in Lake Louise. In Banff, which is 60 kilometers away, you can experience much more in the evenings.
