Lake Louise Ski Lift

We headed out of Jasper around 8:45am on Friday, June 28 on our way south to Canmore. We stopped at the Lake Louise Ski Lodge and had lunch and rode the ski lift up to an interpretive center which took about 14 minutes. The view was incredible and we even saw a grizzly bear.

The entrance to the lodge.

The back of the lodge. We ate lunch on the deck (left side of this picture).

The ski lift to the left of the snow pile is the one we rode.

On our way up! We chose to ride the open chair vs. the enclosed gondola.

Grizzly Bear!

The view of Lake Louise (town and lake) from the top of the ski lift.

Lake Louise and the Fairmont Hotel.

Wow, look at that nice Bighorn in the parking lot below!

I survived! Did I mention that I am not fond of heights?!

  1. Fairmont Hotel is nestled in the mountains so beautifully. Good job doing the height stuff.
