Lake Louise ski resort

Snow Range

1646-2729m

jewel of the Rockies, spectacular skiing and scenery

In an idyllic setting Lake Louise has breathtaking views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. The small village is perfectly positioned close to the skiing and also by the magnificent lake, with a handful of shops and the hotels providing restaurants and bars for evening relaxation. The tranquil atmosphere, jaw dropping scenery and roaming wildlife such as elk and big horn make this a dream destination, plus endless powder and record snowfalls mean the skiing is as blissful as the area itself.

The slopes

Beginners

(Crystal rating 4)

The slopes are gentle, the instructors are friendly and the Lake Louise ski school offers beginners a guarantee that if you are not skiing by the end of your first day you will receive an additional lesson FREE of charge!

Intermediates

(Crystal rating 5)

Lake Louise's four massive mountain faces mean intermediates will have the time of their lives. Everything from smooth cruising runs in the Larch area to the challenging back bowls, fantastic to ski as a mixed ability group. Sunshine Mountain is just 20 mins shuttle and offers yet more great terrain.

Advanced

(Crystal rating 5)

Regularly covered by light Rocky Mountain powder Lake Louise has it all, from superb back bowls, one aptly named “Paradise”, to tree runs on the South Face and testing steeps in the Larch Area, advanced skiers are well catered for. Sunshine can be skied on the same pass and Kicking Horse offers the ultimate in steep and deep, well worth a days excursion.

Snowboarding

(Crystal rating 4)

RCR Rail Park and Wilderness Adventure Park offer a world-class experience in front of the main day lodge. For freeriders the endless bowls and steep glades are exceptional.
