Lake Louise & Moraine Lake

Here is how to plan the ultimate, stress-free day in Lake Louise.

Direct Lakeshore Shuttles

Forget about hunting for nonexistent parking. Hop onto a comfortable, direct shuttle departing right from the Lake Louise Ski Resort parking lot. You can choose a round-trip ticket directly to the shores of Lake Louise, or upgrade to the Two-Lake package to visit both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in one seamless outing.

The Lake Louise Summer Gondola

Before or after your lake visit, head up Whitehorn Mountain to a breathtaking 8,650 feet (2,637 metres) in an open chairlift or enclosed gondola. It offers panoramic views of the legendary Victoria Glacier and the very turquoise waters you came to see—all without the strenuous hike.

• Morning — Rise Above the Clouds: Park your RV in the resort's spacious, free parking lot and board the Summer Gondola. Keep your eyes peeled! The Lake Louise area has one of the highest concentrations of grizzly bears in Banff National Park, and spotting them from the safety of the gondola is a highlight you won’t soon forget. There’s also a fun wildlife centre a short walk from the top where you can see (taxidermied) bears, mountain goats, cougars and more.
• Lunch — Dining Above the Clouds: Walk the gentle alpine trails at the top, then grab a table at the Whitehorn Bistro. Boasting one of the most stunning patios in the Canadian Rockies, it’s the perfect place to enjoy locally inspired dishes and a cold drink.
• Afternoon — Tour the Iconic Lakes: Head back to the base area and step directly onto your scheduled Lakeshore Shuttle. Walk the world-famous shorelines and take your dream photos. When you're finished, your return ride is fully guaranteed.
• Late Afternoon — The Après-Lakes Hangout: After a day of exploring, unwind at the Banded Peak Base Camp patio back at the resort base. Share your favorite photos of the day over craft beer and delicious mountain eats.
