The Lake Louise Ski Resort area comprises three major ski resorts in the Banff National Park near the village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. The mountain peaks of Merlin Ridge, Mount Richardson, Ptarmigan Peak, Pika peak, and Redoudt Mountain offer some of the best scenery in all of Western Canada. Lake Louise, with uniquely beautiful terrain that is both vast and varied, sits in a wilderness that is pristine and inspirational.

Spectacular scenery awaits at Lake Louise.  4200 skiable acres and 139 marked ski runs and back bowls are situated on four mountain faces that are 25% beginner, 45% intermediate and 30% advanced. The "Terrain Park" is also designed for riders of all levels. Four full service day lodges are operational during winter. 

Snowboarders have access to all trails and the terrain park. Beginners and intermediate skiers have access to an abundance of gentle slopes and long cruising runs. Experts can explore endless chutes, glades, gullies and remote bowls in some of the Rockies' most challenging terrain.

The area is blessed by being in Alberta's snow belt and offers the longest ski season in Western Canada. World class downhill skiing, snowshoe trails for all skill levels, ice skating on the iconic lake in front of the Fairmont Chateau, a hockey rink, sleigh rides along the lakeshore trail, and if that isn't enough, dog sled rides on great Divide Trail and adjacent forest trails.

New Things To Do

  • Aquariums

    Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, and we’ve only explored about 5% of it. That leaves so much of the Earth that we know nothing about. Not everyone can dive right into the water to look at the ocean life, so why not do the next best thing? Aquariums give us a window into a whole other world. Most locations around the world have aquariums; some larger than others.

  • Snowmobiling

    Snowmobiling began to take off in the 1950's as lightweight design emerged. At first, snowmobiling was a topic of dispute, because snowmobilers like to take advantage of the flexibility of their machines to travel off-road, thereby disrupting otherwise pristine environments. Others objected to snowmobilers because their machines were noisy and polluted the environment.
