Lake Louise Gondola & Ski Resort
Lake Louise Ski Resort
In summer, ride the sightseeing gondola to look out over Lake Louise and the Victoria Glacier and watch for grizzly bears. In winter, it is one of Canada's top ski resorts.
Lake Louise Ski Resort lies on the slopes of Whitehorn Mountain, opposite the village of Lake Louise. In winter it is one of the largest ski areas in Canada, with many runs and spectacular views, and it has hosted several alpine World Cup races. In summer the sightseeing gondola operates, rising about 14 minutes to a viewpoint at about 2,088 metres, where you can look across the valley to Lake Louise and the Victoria Glacier. The avalanche slope below the gondola is a feeding area for grizzly bears, and bears are often seen there. At the top there are trails and a wildlife interpretive centre. Tickets are required. It is about 5 minutes' drive from the village of Lake Louise.
