Lake Louise Ski Resort Guide

Lake Louise is located in the Rockies and has some of the most spectacular views from any chairlift in the world. Your pass will allow you to ski at Banff, Sunshine and Norquay so there is little reason to be bored. There is a really good mix of runs too, with many of them being marked as expert. Intermediates and beginners will not be disappointed at Lake Louise either. As for the snow record, Lake Louise is the envy of European resorts. The resort towns of Lake Louise and Banff are great too, although Banff is livelier, there is plenty to do. Food is good and portions large; just what you want. Try some local brews such as Grasshopper, one of the local micro-breweries. Just remember to tip well and wrap up well, oh and don't mess with the elks. They are big and have horns, you are small and do not.

Resorts close to Lake Louise include: Amiskwi Lodge (44 km), Mistaya Lodge (46 km), Banff Mt Norquay (49 km), Sunshine Village (49 km), Campbell Icefield Chalet (68 km),

Visitor Reviews of Lake Louise


Kevin from Canada writes:

Excellent skiing in the back bowls and chutes - black to double black. Very poor grooming on the front or other cruising runs (Ladies, Larch, Meadow Lark, Gully, etc. Very old snow making, very old lifts, very few cats. No money being put back into what should be a world class ski area. So if you like steeps and chutes and off piste you will like it. If you like groomed and cruising - forget it.
