Resort Info
The small village of Lake Louise is a quieter and more intimate setting than neighbouring Banff. Located just a five minute drive to its ski hill with glorious scenery of the Canadian Rockies, it is ideal for those wanting a quieter setting for their Rockies ski holiday.
Mt. Norquay and Banff Sunshine ski areas are also within easy travel, and are included on the same lift ticket as Lake Louise.

Lake Louise Ski Holidays are renowned for fantastic back bowls and huge open spaces of steep and deep terrain. It’s front-side and larch areas are impressive too, both with plenty of interesting tree-lined slopes offering stunning views across the valley to the lake itself and mountains beyond. At over 4,200 acres it is one of the largest ski areas in North America and certainly one of the most spectacular.
The resort has recently expanded with The Richardson’s Ridge Express which opened in December 2025. This new high speed quad opened up 5 new beginner and intermediate runs along with cruisy glades. This is in addition to the Upper Juniper Chair which opened in 2024/25. This six seater heated lift connected the top of the Juniper Chair to the Summit Chair. Perfect for progression from the nursery slopes and for easy access to the left side of the mountain. There are also further expansion plans in the pipeline!
A visit to Lake Louise Ski Resort can be easily combined with Banff or Jasper for a multi-resort ski holiday. It can also be great as part of a tailored made ski safari.
Off the slopes
The village of Lake Louise, surrounded by stunning mountain peaks is just a short drive or bus ride to the ski hill. There are a number of restaurant’s and dining options in this laidback quieter setting. We enjoyed the laidback dining at Outpost located at The Post Hotel & Spa, we also liked the breakfast at Timberwolf at The Lake Louise Inn and be sure to head back in the evening for some of their signature pizza. There is also fine dining with several restaurants at The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise including the delicious fondue at Walliser Stube.
Whilst staying in Lake Louise a must visit is the lake the town is named after, the stunning Lake Louise. Set against the stunning backdrop of Victoria Glacier is one of the most photographed sights in the Canadian Rockies. Overlooked by The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise it has to be one of our favourite places in Canada.
If you have a car we also recommend taking a 30 minute drive out to the equally stunning Emerald Lake which has some breathtaking scenery. Stop here for a coffee and a bite to eat overlooking the lake at Cilantro Café or head up to Emerald Lake Lodge itself to The Mount Burgess Dining Room for some of it’s signature Rocky Mountain Cuisine .
There are plenty of different ways to enjoy the majestic scenery, including dog-sledding, skating, ice-climbing snowshoeing and tobogganing. Tubing is also available at the Sunny Tube Park at the base of Lake Louise mountain. A popular activity for couples is to take a horse-drawn sleigh ride round the frozen lake, larger sleighs are also available for family tours during the daytime and evening.
