Welcome to Lake Louise Ski Resort
- Jaw-dropping Rocky Mountain scenery
- Terrain for every ability across over 130km
- Part of Canada's legendary Big 3 ski pass
Some resorts have great skiing. Some have great views. Lake Louise has both... and then some.
Set in the heart of Canada's Banff National Park, Lake Louise's frozen turquoise lake and jagged Rocky Mountain peaks make it one of the most spectacular settings in ski - full stop.
Beginners love the long, confidence-building greens and blues running from summit to base. Intermediates can cruise for days across wide-open groomed runs with stellar views. And for the experts, vast back bowls and challenging chutes await.
Lake Louise also sits within the Big 3 ski pass alongside Sunshine Village and Mt. Norquay. Ski all three in the SkiBig3 Trifecta Challenge, and there's a free beer with your name on it. Consider that the only motivation you need.

FAQs about Lake Louise ski holidays
Your questions answered by our Lake Louise ski resort expert
What's the best time to book a Lake Louise ski holiday?
The snow in Lake Louise is usually tip-top from November to the end of May, but for the best snow, late February to early March is an ace time to visit. Canada can get super cold in winter, so wrap up warm. But if sub-zero temperatures are a ski tip too far for you, clip in during March or April when things start to warm up. Bringing the kids? Families will love the local festivities in nearby Banff over the Christmas holidays. And the Banff SnowDays Festival in January is jam-packed with activities, including skijoring shows, family play zones, and snow sculpture trails.
