So what's it like?
The jewel of the Rockies with an impressive ski area too
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.

Beginners
Not only are the slopes gentle, the instructors are friendly, but 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!
