Ski Resort in Lake Louise
With 4200 skiable acres, Lake Louise is one of the largest ski areas in North America. The unique layout allows families and
groups of varying abilities to ski together; there are beginner, intermediate and expert runs down from every chair.
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. Lake Louise Ski Area is
located 30 min west the city of Banff near the famous Lake Louise and approximately 2.5 hr away from Calgary (fifth largest
city in Canada). Although the town of Lake Louise is small, it does get very busy during the winter seasons because of its
famous snow condition and amazing ski slopes.
